George IV Crown 1821 MS65 PCGS, KM680.1, S-3805. SECUNDO edge. The very definition of gem, its dazzling argent surfaces tinged with iridescent autumnal color that encroaches onto the obverse portrait. Aside from a few inconspicuous contact marks and the faint presence of a fingerprint near the King's portrait, the whole of the planchet retains a fresh appearance usually associated with finer designations. The central designs have benefitted from a superior strike, which has produced even the smallest detail in bold glory, and an incredible amount of original luster easily cartwheels the surfaces at every turn. Surely among an elite group of survivors who have reached this certified technical platform, and a Crown that should easily generate spirited bidding among collectors of this popular issue.
