George IV gold Sovereign 1822 MS67 PCGS, KM682, S-3800, Marsh-6. A coin which defies all expectations for this well-known series, with the 1822 sovereign carrying the highest mintage figure of the 5-year George IV laureate portrait type at nearly 5.5 million struck, and as such, usually a rather unremarkable date. Yet whereas collectors of this series will be familiar with heavily bagmarked and circulated examples, few would ever imagine seeing so original and blemish-free a specimen as this gorgeous MS67, presently standing undisputed as the single-finest certified across NGC and PCGS combined out of 130 graded. The perfect type coin, not to go overlooked by even the most scrupulous sovereign collector.
From the Caranett Collection
