George IV gold Proof 1/2 Sovereign 1826 PR65 Deep Cameo PCGS, Royal mint, KM700, S-3804A. With extra tuft of hair to left of ear. A difficult variety to distinguish, many recent auction records misidentify this variety as the regular S-3804 issue. This is a beautiful coin, fully deserving of the Gem Mint State status assigned to it by PCGS. Not only does it possess a very stark cameo effect, with deeply frosted devices and highly mirrored fields, but it has lovely light red toning that is not often encountered on proofs coins. Highly original, this is surely one of the prettier PR65 Deep Cameos that one could come across (which is certainly saying something!).
Estimate: 8000-12000 USD
