George IV gold Proof Sovereign 1826 PR65 Cameo NGC, KM696, S-3801. A superb combination of production quality, popularity and stunning level of preservation, this Gem Proof is one of just four at this grade seen by NGC, with only one example graded higher and by merely one point; accordingly, of the reported 150 Proof sovereigns struck, this must be amongst the finest extant. Stunning mirror fields devoid of all but faint die-polish lines and luxuriously frosted devices contrast against one another, all illuminated by the rich yellow-gold color of the planchet. Quite simply an extraordinary offering, and fully deserving of centerpiece status in the most elite cabinets.
