Sold with a copy of a letter from Dr. Kevin Clancy of the Royal Mint to John Millenstead of Bonhams discussing the coin.In a letter dated 16 August 2005 addressed to John Millenstead of Bonhams, Dr. Kevin Clancy of the Royal Mint writes of this coin, "We appear not to have any record of Churchill crowns being struck to a superior quality, but we are aware that on the basis of colour and the absence of bag marks the numismatic trade has identified a satin finish variety. There seems to be no completely reliable objective means of identifying these coins but we are told by a leading member of the trade that the coin you recently submitted to us would be generally recognised as falling within this category." This letter sold with coin.
