Victoria gold Proof 1/2 Sovereign 1839 PR62+ Cameo NGC, KM735.1, S-3859, W&R-344 (R3). Plain edge. Medal alignment. Few examples of this minimally available Proof type can claim to match the level of aesthetic quality seen here. Wholly reflective lemon-yellow fields are lit ablaze at the flick of the wrist, highlighting the fully frosted young portrait of Victoria and crowned arms as confirmed by the appreciable "cameo" superlative and best appreciated when viewed in hand. With only minimal instances of handling wisps defining the grade and produced to exact calculation as is commonly associated with Victorian Proof coinage, we anticipate interest commensurate with the rapidly growing collector interest in British rarities. Accompanied by a Sincona auction tag.
Ex. Sincona British Collection
