World Crowns and Minors
3171
Great Britain. Crown, 1894
. S.3937; ESC-307; Dav-108; KM-
783. Victoria. By Thomas Brock. Regnal edge year LVIII.
Obverse matronly bust of Queen left. Reverse; St George. Bril-
liant mint state with an exceptional golden-green and blue iri-
descent tone. Sharply struck. A difficult date and regnal edge
year to obtain in any high grade. It would be practically impossi-
ble to now find another truly uncirculated specimen such as
this.
NGC graded MS-63.
WINGS APPROVED
.
Estimate Value ..................................................... $800 - 900
3172
Great Britain. Penny, 1894
. S.3954; KM-755. Victoria. Uncir-
culated and some original color. The last date in the series and
surprisingly scarce in high grade.
NGC graded MS-64 Brown
.
Estimate Value ..................................................... $175 - 225
3173
Great Britain. Crown, 1895
. S.3937; ESC-309; Dav-108; KM-
783. Victoria. By Thomas Brock. Regnal edge year LIX. Obverse
matronly bust of Queen left. Reverse; St George. A superb
uncirculated specimen with prooflike fields and a gorgeous old
golden-blue tone. A scarcer date which is now seldom seen in
the highest grades. Certainly underestimated in the catalogue
pricings.
NGC graded MS-63.

rarity.

. S.3937; ESC-310; Dav-108; KM-
783. Victoria. By Thomas Brock. Regnal edge year LIX. Obverse
matronly bust of Queen left. Reverse; St George. A splendidly
well struck example of this rare date and regnal edge year - one
of the most difficult in the brief series. Uncirculated, and bathed
in a light gold and pastel blue tone over virtually flawless sur-
faces. Very good eye appeal.
NGC graded MS-64.

to replace.
