I would ask to GTG but certain member get PO'd when I do....THe obverse die had a couple of small rust pits and there is ribbon toning running North-South on Victoria's cheek going up into her hair. Some die polish to the fields under toning, and the picture is very much what it looks in hand.

I take it that this is the plain edge proof, what a stunning coin with such great detail in the hair band and hair curls.
Definitely a keeper, would be proud to own a coin like that.
terrific example
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Here is my best British piece:

Nice 1869 PR, 7Jag. Looks gem all the way. The 1862 1/2 crown looks sweet as well.
Same for York; looks like it should have been graded as a DCAM
Here's the 1877 farthing from other posts, only shown here using PCGS images:
Only 4 known available for collectors. Note is has the same double-tailed R in FARTHING as the 1875 small date (this is used to distinguish it from fakes having removed the "H" from the Heaton minted ones of that date).
Gorgeous coins all!
Work of art!
This continues to be my nicest British coin. I have more valuable but none I like as much. Bought it raw off eBay.

Here's one that perhaps is not beautiful, but is as nice as you will find, period! The lines in the field are die prep, and the coin is absolutely PL cameo in hand...https://images.pcgs.com/CoinFacts/18522629_2138197_max.jpg
