George IV gold Sovereign 1821 MS65 PCGS, KM682, S-3800, Marsh-5. A coin that appears virtually unimprovable for both the date and type, with this representative situated alongside a tiny cluster of 7 others--including such company as the Terner specimen--across NGC and PCGS combined. An issue typically encountered in AU grades or lower, the obverse fields on this offering are draped in satin, much as they must have been not long after striking, while the reverse presents a slightly mirrored finish when viewed at the proper angle. Pistrucci's engravings of King George and St. George are beautifully done and precisely rendered. We note that the B of the B.P. initials below the King's truncation is heavily doubled, which will likely serve as a future pedigree-marker.
