Victoria gold Proof 1/2 Sovereign 1839 PR64 Deep Cameo PCGS, KM735.1, S-3859. Plain edge, struck in medal rotation. A fantastic specimen, its color immediately and intensely captivating; almost neon-yellow, with immensely glossy surfaces. Victoria's portrait is firmly deserving of its 'deep cameo' designation, luxuriously coated with matte frost, a stark contrast with the mirror fields behind. This contrast is seen with many coins struck in Proof, but scarcely so boldly represented as on this piece. The reverse shield is similarly matte, and similarly attractive. Only minor hairlines in the fields prevent this piece from reaching a gem level certification, but its eye appeal and sharp detail appear to be fully worthy of this lofty grade.
