Comes in the red box of issue, and the finest we have offered of this key rarity. A superb example of this stunning error edge Crown, rated R5 by ESC (5-10 examples believed to exist) and thus rarer than the 1935 Gold Proof Crown of which 25 were issued, which when offered fetches in the region of £60,000 to £80,000.

Crown 1935 Incuse edge Proof in .500 Silver. ESC 377A (R6). The edge legend on this type is much less sharply defined than on the specimen Crown of this year. The edge itself is sharper and gives the impression of being somewhat broader than the 1935 Specimen Crown. The fields are distinguished by a more mirror-like finish and display a superior strength of detail and strike. nFDC with a pleasant mottled green and gold tone. Excessively Rare and possibly the finest known example. Note: This specimen is superior to the E D J. Van Roekel Collection (lot 259) example sold by Spink (15.12. 2001) and considerably better than a specimen sold by Morton and Eden (sale 2.12.2009 lot 263) described as ‘somewhat impaired by past polishing, with minor edge bruises and surface marks, about extremely fine.? This last piece achieved an auction price of £1600 plus buyers premium.
