Victoria Proof "Gothic" Crown 1847 PR66 Deep Cameo PCGS, KM744, S-3883, ESC-2579a (R2). Plain edge. M over inverted M in DOM variety. Struck in .999 pure silver. Medal alignment. An absolute masterpiece and hands-down the finest representative of this most coveted type this cataloger has handled, even besting in appearance and rarity the few PR67s we've previously seen, whose level of detail, preservation, and frost seem unimaginable. More akin to the modern productions of the British Royal Mint, an accolade solidified by its painstakingly precise strike and sheer paucity of distracting marks to the pondlike stillness of the expanses, one might even expect a loftier assignment. Of the more than 1,300 examples that currently populate the certification services of all variety, only ten rank finer and only one of which as a non-standard variety, making this a unique opportunity to acquire the perfect combination of absolute, conditional, and aesthetic scarcity within a single coin.
