Watch List notes:

MS65+ | *Top Pop* | Edward VII (1901-1910), Halfcrown, 1909, milled edge, 12h, 14.12g (Spink 3980), a handful of contact marks to obverse high points, otherwise lustrous with subtle tone, a truly exceptional example, exceedingly rare in this truly choice, mint state, in NGC holder, graded MS65+ (Cert. #6295127-002) [Single Finest Certified].
To indicate the paucity of surviving examples in honest mint state, the previous sole finest NGC MS65, last appeared at Goldberg 32 in September 2005 (lot 3518), with a full sixteen years of exponential grading growth in the English market failing to provide a better specimen until now
Estimate: £600 - £1000
