Ex Heritage Auctions (CICF World Coins Signature Auction, Chicago, April 2015): "Victoria 1/2 Crown 1884 MS65 NGC, Royal mint, KM756, S-3889. Minimally marked with rich satin luster and a fully executed strike; the finest halfcrown of this date we have seen. Also, the finest that either grading service has certified, as the present coin is the sole MS65 or finer grade specimen in either the NGC or PCGS census. A coin entirely suited for an elite collection! From The Law Collection"
Formerly in an NGC slab and graded MS65 (3808813-003), subsequently crossed over to CGS slab and graded UNC80 (UIN35664), resubmitted to NGC in February 2019 and graded MS64... disappointing. Excellent strike and lustre, minimally marked.
