Lot 293
Great Britain. ½ Sovereign, 1831. William IV. S-3830; Fr-384; KM-716. Plain edge. As is the case for the 1826 Proof gold, the exact mintage was evidently never recorded, but 225 pieces struck for the Coronation sets is widely accepted as the approximate number of these made. This is a 2-year type, in that smaller planchets were used for the 1831 Proofs as well as the first currency year, 1834, than were used for subsequent years. Rated R3 (Extremely Rare) by WR (as #267). This attractive specimen is ex Hammel Collection (1987). PCGS graded Proof 62 Cameo.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,800.
