Victoria gold Proof 1/2 Sovereign 1853 PR64 Cameo PCGS, Royal mint, KM735.1, S-3859, WR-346. Small date. According to our research, an example of this type graded this high has not appeared on the market since the Terner specimen was sold in May, 2003. That piece, graded PCGS PR64 Deep Cameo, hammered at $6,125- a strong price at the time, but a steal by today's standards! In the intervening 14 years, the market for British proof gold has gone up tremendously; in some cases, doubling, tripling, or even more. For the grade conscious collector, this should be an exciting opportunity to acquire a piece that is very rare proof date, and even rarer still in such quality.
Estimate: 12000-15000 USD
