L&M-942; K-663; KM-Y-332; WS-0097. Variety with reeded edge and no signature. Exuding a tremendous frosty nature, this dazzling Mint State issue stands as a classic within the pantheon of 20th century crowns, and features a needle sharp design with robust brilliance. For completeness, some surface irregularities are noted in the upper and lower portions of the reverse, mingling somewhat with the characters. Overall, a great example of the type, and one which will be supremely treasured.
Estimate: $20000 - $30000
