Mintage : unknown, Marsh:R6 Single finest graded with PCGS.
Rare in any grade, this 1871 proof half sovereign, bearing die number 1, is in superlative condition, and one of the few to appear on the market in the last decade. In fact, a quick check of our records indicates that just two coins have been exhumed and offered to the market since 2012. The coin on offer here is the single-finest graded by PCGS and NGC, and is the plate coin in the Wilson and Rasmussen standard reference, English Pattern, Trial and Proof Coins in Gold.
Victoria gold Proof 1/2 Sovereign 1887 PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC, KM766, S-3869, W&R-362. A thoroughly outstanding representative of this scarce Proof, entirely meriting of its gem ultra cameo status--the fields appearing nearly jet-black from all angles with a pronounced silhouette matte frost atop the devices. A lovely gem, with simply magnificent watery surfaces and a fantastic cameo effect against the chiseled and heavily frosted devices. Seldom seen at this elite level of preservation, this is an all-around great coin that we suspect will find itself in the collection of a true connoisseur. Ranking very near the peak of certified specimens, we note that only two PR67's have been certified to-date. Ex. Murdoch Collection (Sotheby's April 1903, Lot 495 [part])
