George III gold 1/2 Sovereign 1817 MS64 NGC, KM673, S-3786. 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. The present offering, however, has survived in exemplary Mint State, cartwheel luster perfectly haloing the boldly rendered portrait and reverse shield, canary yellow color reaching out and captivating the viewer.
From the Caranett Collection
