George IV gold Proof 2 Pounds 1826 PR62+ Cameo NGC, KM701, S-3799, WR-228. An intensely popular type and in an excellent grade. Intensely reflective fields, glowing with perhaps the lightest hint of patina, with definitively-struck high-relief devices. Truly a superb first piece by the celebrated engraver William Wyon. The only issues restricting this coin from a higher level of certification is some light friction to George's portrait and contact marks in the obverse field, neither of which especially detract from its eye-appeal; the reverse is essentially pristine (save for a light edge imperfection at 4 o'clock) and more of a 64 level. A scarce and high-grade stunner.
Ex. Thos. H. Law Collection
From the Collection of A Scottish Gentleman
