Victoria gold Proof 1/2 Sovereign 1839 PR64 Ultra Cameo NGC, KM735.1, S-3859. Plain edge. The fields on this Half Sovereign are dazzlingly bright and almost entirely without contact marks or even significant hairlines. Victoria's portrait is deeply matte with unbroken light-gold frost, creating an extremely strong Proof contrast and attractive visual effect; some light areas of reddish tone sit gently in the peripheries, but do little to distract from the vivid reflectivity and brightness of this near-Gem. It is difficult to imagine a more archetypal Proof coin, pristine in every regard and worthy of inclusion in even the most selective of cabinets.
