Lot 2126
Great Britain. Pattern Sovereign, 1893. Queen Victoria is veiled and wears the famous Small Crown in this exquisite pattern. Reeded edge. Double-thick, called Piedfort. This is the same design as listed in gold by Wilson and Rasmussen (their #340), and also identical to the wonderful Gem example (but not double thick) we sold as Lot 393 in our first Terner sale. This coin has a remarkably similar color to that piece, but shows some very faint hairlines. Mirrors are intact, glittering! If anything, the strike on this piece is even more tack-sharp than we saw on the previously sold specimen. Wonderful engraving, and extreme rarity. A great coin for the serious student and collector of the sovereign series! Important. PCGS graded Proof 63.
Estimated Value $12,000 - 15,000.
