Victoria gold Proof 1/2 Sovereign 1839 PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC, KM735.1, S-3859. W&R-344, Marsh-414B. Plain edge. Medal alignment. Hands down one of the most exhilarating examples of this highly coveted type this cataloger has handled and will likely ever handle, not only because of the awe-inspiring technical designation, but the addition of the appreciable and fully deserving "Ultra Cameo" superlative via a heavy matte frost so few of these are ever bestowed. Struck for the young Victoria's coronation set which so famously includes the "Una and the Lion" 5 Pounds of William Wyon's invention, and likely having spent significant time within the boxed set or cabinet, as evidenced by a most pleasing amber and russet patina from long-term storage. Those attempting to rebuilt a Victoria coronation Proof set should look no further for the 1/2 Sovereign denomination as this is likely the finest to surface for years to come, bested by none and tied with a single other.
