1897 Queen Victoria Silver Halfcrown – NGC MS64 – Beautiful Toned Mint State Example
A superb Mint State example of the 1897 Halfcrown struck during the final decade of Queen Victoria’s reign. Graded MS64 by NGC, this piece displays sharp detail throughout, with full shield definition and crisp portrait features.
The coin is enhanced by attractive original toning with golden and iridescent hues around the periphery, giving it strong visual appeal and depth. Victorian large silver in this grade is increasingly sought after, particularly with natural toning and problem-free surfaces.
A high-quality near-gem example of this classic late-Victorian issue.
