George III gold 1/2 Sovereign 1817 MS66 NGC, Royal mint, KM673, S-3786. Easily the finest example of this first 1/2 sovereign issue that we have seen, and quite possibly the finest example extant, with satiny surfaces that remain visually flawless, design elements that are sharply raised and stunning originality that manifests in orange-gold tone at the edges. A great coin, the single finest graded by NGC (with one MS66 at PCGS), and certain to delight the specialist.
Estimate: 3000-5000 USD
