Crown 1935 Incuse Edge ProofESC 377A (R6 - rated 2-5 examples believed to exist, making this rarer in number than the Gold Proof issue of this date) The edge legend much less sharply defined than on the currency and specimen strikings of this year. The edge itself is shaper, with the design and fields displaying a superior strength of detail and strike. nFDC with some hairlines and a pleasant underlying tone. Excessively rare and comparable in quality to the Van Roekel example sold in 2001. We note a similar example in London Coins Auction A128 as far back as 7/3/2010 realised £2200 hammer price (Lot 1186)

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.
