Description

A truly elegant 1893 Proof Sixpence of Queen Victoria’s Veiled (Old) Head type, certified PF65 by NGC.

The coin displays:

• Deep mirrored proof fields

• Beautifully frosted devices

• Strong strike detail throughout

• Crisp crown and wreath detail on reverse

• Excellent eye appeal for the grade

The Veiled Head portrait, introduced in 1893, represents Victoria in mourning attire following the death of Prince Albert — one of the most iconic and historically symbolic portraits in British numismatics.

Proof sixpences of this era were struck in limited numbers primarily for collectors and presentation sets, making them far scarcer than standard currency issues.

PF65 examples offer the perfect balance of quality and value — fully choice proof with only minor handling marks under magnification.

Why This Coin?

• First year of the Veiled Head type for sixpence

• High-grade certified proof

• Strong collector demand for late Victorian proofs

• Highly liquid and internationally recognised NGC certification

• Ideal for a premium British proof type set
