Great Britain
George IV gold 1/2 Sovereign 1828 MS63 PCGS, KM700, S-3804. An intensely lustrous example of this late Georgian issue, its centers exhibiting original pale gold coloring whilst the peripheries have developed a ring of orange vibrancy. The reverse die looks to have been in good shape, whilst the obverse was clearly reaching the end of its useful life with die rust in the fields and a crack on George's portrait; this provides a rather appealing texture, however. Captivating on many levels, a choice piece.
