George III gold 1/2 Sovereign 1817 MS64 NGC, KM673, S-3786. Fully struck with exceedingly clear fields, firmly choice for the grade as such. George III Sovereigns and 1/2 Sovereigns, as new, novel and more easy to spend (the Sovereign being worth exactly 20 Shillings rather than the cumbersome 21 Shilling value of its predecessor, the Guinea) saw heavy circulation as soon as they were issued, resulting in many being found bagmarked, scratched or worn today. Accordingly, this near-gem piece is a true conditional rarity, surely amongst the finer pieces known and worthy of inclusion in a top-tier collection.
