George III gold Sovereign 1820 MS63 PCGS, KM674, S-3785C. Large date, open 2 variety. A truly wonderful Sovereign! Arguably the nicest the cataloger has ever seen, and beyond premium for the grade. Whereas these are often found either circulated, heavily bagmarked or somewhat softly struck (primarily on the reverse), this piece has clearly been both extremely well made, and rescued from circulation very shortly after striking. George's portrait is velvety smooth with almost no marks to its surface, his hair boldly detailed and without even the slightest semblance of wear; the fields surrounding are glaringly free from distracting evidence of handling, die-polish lines evident and, indeed, the whole coin is decidedly prooflike. Deeply lustrous, the reverse so sharply struck as to give a somewhat 'dished' look to the fields within the Garter, emphasized by its satiny texture. In-hand inspection is absolutely encouraged to properly appreciate this offering, as it firmly deserves a place within the most elite of Sovereign collections. Do not miss your opportunity to be its next owner!
