Lot 301
Great Britain. Pattern Sovereign, 1837. By William Wyon. Victoria Young Head; shield reverse. Plain edge. WR-298. DM-200. "WW" incuse; tiny roses to sides of date. The reverse shield by Merlen. R6, extremely rare (only 3 to 5 known). Struck in the year of Victoria's ascendancy, and one of only a few coins of her reign bearing this date. The portrait of Her Majesty, as a young girl, is fairly well frosted, producing a pleasing cameo of the queen. The mirrors show a splendid brilliance, but there are a few tiny scratches in the obverse field and light scuffs on the portrait; the reverse is simply perfect. Finer than the Douglas-Morris plate coin! PCGS graded Proof 62 Deep Cameo.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 6,000.
