Great Britain: George V Crown 1934,...

Description

George V Crown 1934, S4036, MS63 NGC, Wreath, key date in this series, the rarest year with a commercial mintage of a mere 932 pieces, a really beautiful coin for the grade, premium snow-white cartwheel luster and a hint of gray, slightly glassy surfaces nicer than seen on most examples of this date, normal sharp strike, almost perfect rims, only a few light ticks on the reverse, called "63" because of scattered obverse marks, a light scuff before the king's ear, and a long vertical scuff before the king's face, from nose to beard -- nonetheless, a coin of high visual appeal, and very rare in this condition. Mintage note: as vintage photographs have shown, during this period at the Royal Mint coins were struck on presses elevated above the floor, with long metal chutes down which the struck coins slid into bins below, the obvious cause of abrasions such as are seen on this crown.
