Lot 1298
Great Britain. Proof Sovereign, 1871. Victoria Young Head. Large BP. Plain edge. St George reverse. S-3856 by type. Remarkably, Dr Terner owned two examples of this great rarity, showing medallic die-alignment: thus WR-319. Rated in that book as R7, just 1 or two known! Is this the other one (not including the specimen in the British Museum)? This piece possesses a dramatic heavy cameo contrast on both sides, which could, in today's market, cause it to earn a runaway price. Superb Choice Proof. PCGS graded Proof 64 Deep Cameo.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,500.
