Description
George V Proof Crown 1932, S4036, PR63 NGC, Wreath, beveled obverse rim, squared-off reverse rim, a subtle coin but quite choice, seems to be very tightly graded as a "63," obverse a very even light russet gray with subdued mirror field, reverse sparkling with mirrored reflectivity and a brilliant silvery color with delicate hues of gold. Very rare, mintage a handful, not reflected in the official mintage listed in Spink as 2395 pieces. As graded, this is a Proof of Record. Commercial Wreath crowns were made for Christmas stocking gifts of the wealthy, 1932 being a year of financial depression.Metal: Silver
