Description
Victoria Halfcrown 1886, KM756, S-3889, Young Head, MS65 NGC. An especially fine example of this late date that is fully struck and shows all of the tiny details of the portrait and royal shield. What is special is the booming reflective luster, and the surfaces are sheathed in a natural, bright silvery white and pale amber-gold, smooth mixture of iridescence. Victoria's Young Head halfcrowns are all in strong demand worldwide, and only seldom does such a pleasing 1886 example appear.Metal: Silver

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
