Lot 2577
Great Britain. Gold Proof Half Sovereign, 1826. George IV. Bare head. S-3804. From one of the sets of this year, made to show off the new portrait so favored by the king himself over the previous Laureate style. Very scarce. Mintage unknown, unrecorded, but varyingly believed to be between 225 and 400 pieces, which seems accurate to this cataloguer. Light orange-gold toning. Some wispy hairlines but a very superior example of this wonderful design type. NGC graded Proof 65 Cameo.
Estimated Value $2,750 - 3,250.
