2001-PM Crown Bronte Sisters, DCAM PR69DCAM Certification #48277620, PCGS #850154

[RG-029]* 2001 Gibraltar Silver Crown The Brontë Sisters PR69DCAM { PCGS-5 }. Charlotte, Emily and Anne are honored on this Victorian Age tribute for a literate sibling trio that gave us such classics as “Jane Eyre”, “Wuthering Heights” and “The Tenant of Windfell Hall”. The Brontë Sisters originally published their poems and novels under male pseudonyms: Currer, Ellis (C for Charolotte), and Acton Bell (A for Anne) in order to find success in a male-dominated publishing world of the nineteenth century. Normally found as a copper-nickel crown or part of a First-Day-Cover coin-stamp pair, this silver gem is the rarer proof edition. This gem appears to be perfect, except for a tiny discoloration in the field next to the "1" (of 1 Crown). Nice mirrors and frosted devices are all part of this sharp looking coin. * Number 29 in Ron Guth's book "100 Greatest Women on Coins".
