Great Britain: , Victoria Proof Crown 1839 PR63 NGC,...
Victoria Proof Crown 1839 PR63 NGC, KM741, S-3882, ESC-2560 (R). Plain edge. Stemming from Victoria's 1839 Coronation Proof Set (a delayed issue commemorating her coronation in 1837), this renowned issue is by far the most popular silver coin included. Furthermore, the 1839 Coronation Proof Set is likely Britain's most sought-after Proof Set of all time, notably including the Una and the Lion 5 Pounds. Here, the deep taupe surfaces display ample flash, revealing an incredible array of vivid hues. The predominate light turquoise toning is accented by intense cobalt, violet, and a touch of harvest, creating a peacock-like palette that radiates visual grandeur. Every detail found is embellished by a strong strike, producing sharp legends and prominent features, especially Victoria's young bust. To further this piece's Choice status, this grade resides near the top of both NGC's and PCGS's census with only 107 certified examples between them. Overall, the incredibly sought-after Victoria Proof Crown of 1839 is no exception from the market rise of British rarities, destined to find a 'crowning' spot within an advanced cabinet.
