Great Britain
Victoria gold 1/2 Sovereign 1844 MS66 NGC, Royal mint, KM735.1, S-3859. A tremendously alluring example with the whole of the surfaces sheathed in silk and a layer of antiqued patination that delicately covers both sides. The portrait of Victoria is outstanding, with each wave of her hair fully rendered and crisp, and a quick rotation reveals ample reflectivity that shimmers throughout the fields. Choice so fine, and currently in a certified realm of its own making.
