William IV gold Proof 2 Pounds 1831 PR63 Deep Cameo PCGS, KM718, S-3828, W&R-258 (R3). An immensely sharp Proof example whose cameo contrast remains as striking as the very day that the offering was produced nearly 200 years ago. A thick blanket of golden frost overlies William's portrait, and this visually enhancing feature is essentially undisturbed, lending a serene sense of balance and quality that is normally consistent with finer certification. Only a single instance of faint contact is noted to the King's cheekbone, with all other handling confined to the mirrored fields surrounding, taking the form of minute hairlines. In hand, it is more than easy to justify the choice designation bestowed by PCGS, and one may readily consider this bright representative as a compelling candidate for any dedicated, high-end type collection.
