Description
Victoria Shilling 1852, S3904, Young Head, MS64 PCGS, a grade that confounds the cataloguer as there are no apparent marks, the strike is bold, the gorgeous original surfaces shimmer with luster and are sheathed in a beautiful, delicate pastel silvery blue and golden iridescence. Most interestingly, the "A"s in the obverse legend are all blundered, each one with the bottom serifs closed, touching each other; they may be inverted "V" letters with a crossbar added. Several letters are also ghosted. This is a superb coin!From the Guilford Courthouse Collection.
