详细说明

Victoria Young Head. Shield reverse. Die #18. WR-350, but Die #18 (WR record only Die #1). Reeded Edge. R5: extremely rare, just 6 to 10 known!</B> A wonderful example of a Proof of Record (made primarily for sale to museums by the Royal Mint). A year ago, we offered Dr Terner's specimen having Die #1, as recorded by Wilson & Rasmussen. Evidently those researchers were unaware of the existence of this piece, having a different die number below the shield. Dr Terner and his guide found a total of two for the collection in 22 years of searching. This one is just as beautiful as the Die #1 piece was. Superb Choice Proof, lovely mellow gold toning, incredibly bold detail everywhere. PCGS graded Proof 64 Cameo.</B> <BR>Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,500.
