Great Britain: , Victoria gold Proof Sovereign 1839 PR64 S Cameo NGC,...
Victoria gold Proof Sovereign 1839 PR64 S Cameo NGC, KM736.1, S-3852, Marsh-23B, W&R-303. Plain edge. Coin alignment. While this type remains popular with collectors due to its Proof status, the importance of its inclusion in Victoria's coronation set cannot be understated. Rarely do we host a sale with so many pieces originally included in said set, yet we find 13 pieces from an original set within these very pages. The piece at hand endures as a most commendable survivor of the type, encountered at the very cusp of a Gem designation, elevated by an abundance of die polish and mint flash that demands NGC's "star" assertion; the matte frost endowed to Wyon and Merlen's designs certain the result of a bold strike and cause for the advanced superlative. Ranked near the peak of population reports, only a small handful designate finer, and considering the immense collectibility of issues from this coveted date, we expect bidder demand to be substantial.
