William IV gold Proof Sovereign 1831 PR64 Deep Cameo PCGS, KM717, S-3829B, W&R-261. Plain edge. A sharply mirrored near-gem representative displaying a stellar visual juxtaposition between its pondlike, reflective fields and amply frosted devices. Soft, velveteen frost graces William's visage, with only the most minute traces of contact displayed across his features to yield a palpable sense of technical preservation. No noteworthy marks or signs of handling are noted to the fields, where only faint wisps of superficial contact are observable and establish the grade for this sparkling selection. Rarely seen finer, never significantly so, and bound to draw considerable pedigree interest, if not only for its strong condition, then similarly so for its desirable pedigree and attribution to the Terner collection.
Ex. Terner Collection (Goldberg Auction 25, May 2004, Lot 1274); Mortimer Hammel Collection (Stack's September 1982, Lot 369); attributed by Stack's to the Douglas-Morris Collection (Sotheby's November 1974, Lot 179), though this appears to be incorrect
