Description
Victoria Gothic Crown 1847, S3883, PR67 PCGS, "Undecimo" lettered edge, a sumptuous coin! Glittering mirrored surfaces. Delicately frosted portrait and shield. Superb, deep proof strike. Multi-hued, deeply iridescent toning off the charts in terms of eye appeal: obverse an exquisite blend of mauve and neon-blue, reverse a fantastic sheathing of seagreen and silvery golden shades that mesmerize the eye of the beholder. This coin is just nonpareil, pristine, and tied with one or two others for finest known -- a coiner's masterpiece lovingly kept and preserved by an unknown succession of connoisseurs. It is worth whatever it takes to buy it.From the Exeter College Collection
