Victoria gold Proof Sovereign 1839 PR64 Deep Cameo PCGS, KM736.1, S-3852, W&R-303, Marsh-23B. Plain Edge. Coin Alignment. Perhaps the most striking feature of this Proof emission is its cameo contrast, absolutely full by virtue of the heavy mint frost that graces the raised devices, including Victoria's bust, with these features set against fields that serve as complete golden mirrors. To add further unique appeal to this rare Proof type, a lovely sunflower-gold tone enhances the surfaces, taking on such intensity to the reverse that the surfaces appear bathed in a neon-like luminosity, while the addition of amber toning accents provides a completing touch of balance. For accuracy, we note that both the coin's alignment and W&R reference are misdescribed on the current holder insert. An all-around superb piece, and among the best that we have had the privilege to offer.
