Victoria gold 1/2 Sovereign 1838 MS64 NGC, KM735.1, S-3859, Marsh-414. The very rare first date of Victoria's Half Sovereign, and in an elite near-Gem grade just one point below the highest certified. Very well-struck from fresh dies, every detail of Victoria's portrait razor-sharp and bold; intensely lustrous, an eye-catching bright yellow-gold piece which has somehow escaped any circulation or significant contact whatsoever for the last 180 years. Amongst the finest 1838 Half Sovereigns a collector could ever hope to obtain, and sure to attract strong bids thus.
