William IV gold Proof Sovereign 1831 PR65 Deep Cameo PCGS, KM717, S-3829B, W&R-261. Plain edge. Of commendable quality for this contested Proof emission, and an example which easily pushes against the upper limit of its assigned certification by virtue of its stellar preservation and luxurious appeal. Both William's portrait and the reverse shield bear a rich coating of golden frost, yielding a palpable sense of quality, as well as a clear visual juxtaposition against the highly watery fields that contain the raised motifs. Startling reflectivity meets the viewer upon even cursory inspection, and across the features as a whole, only the slightest shallow instances of handling remains traceable to the naked eye. Tied for the finest certified at PCGS, with only a single "66" certified more highly at NGC, it is self-evident both in hand and through any examination of factual data that this delightful jewel reaches toward the very peak of desirability for its type.
