Description
Victoria Proof Crown 1893, S3937, PR67 NGC, Old Head, LVI edge, a marvelous coin! Superb Gem Proof with incredible surfaces for so large a coin, just about perfect, the mirrors moderate because of the toning, the portrait sheathed in lovely, even, light gold iridescence surrounded by a ring of rich, bright blue color through the legend, the reverse more intensely blue and gold, and also of great eye appeal. One of the top pieces graded, and surely also tops for visual allure. Not from the old-family source as those already mentioned in the PR67 category, but obviously somebody saved this at issue and it has been kept lovingly through generations of owners. Our estimate should be exceeded, but only time will tell for sure.From the Exeter College Collection
