Description

Victoria Halfcrown 1846, S3888, Young Head, MS66 PCGS, superb, actually a magnificent coin with tremendous eye appeal, sharply struck, having cartwheel luster and rich russet grayish green iridescent toning. Totally original, with silvery white luster peeking out around letters of the legends. Various spidery diebreaks. As was true of the 1840 halfcrown, here too the digits of the date were hand-placed into the working die and are uneven. This coin could produce a runaway price as an example of sheer quality equating to rarity of condition in an early issue of this reign.
From the Guilford Courthouse Collection.
