Victoria gold Proof Sovereign 1871 PR63 Cameo NGC, KM752, S-3856, W&R-319 (R7). Plain edge. A gorgeous Proof of the highest rarity. Several types of the 1871 Proof Sovereign exist, and the present offering appears to be the far scarcer variety featuring a raised, re-cut WW on Victoria's neck truncation and a large B.P. in the exergue. Only a few are known, and this Sovereign is a supreme representative of the type. It appears unusually conservatively graded, the rich frosting on Victoria's portrait seems worthy of an 'Ultra Cameo' designation, and the fields show exceptionally few contact marks for a PR63 graded coin. Stunning, with an outstanding cameo contrast, an exceedingly rare specimen with dazzling visual appeal.
