Victoria (1837-1901), Crown, 1889 (ESC 2589; S 3921). Raised X in front of horse, has been cleaned, otherwise very fine, rare and unusual £100-150

Sold with a letter from the Royal Mint, dated 20 March 1969, explaining that the coin was struck from a damaged die. Despite this, it would seem likely that the mark is a deliberate cancellation and not the result of accidental damage
