Lot 2687
Great Britain. Proof gold half sovereign, 1853. Victoria Young Head. Reeded edge. S.3859; Fr-389c; KM-735.1; WR-346. The Proofs of 1853 are all very rare, and all can be traced to the special sets made up this year, evidently for or on behalf of the royal family. This is the former Terner Registry coin, with gleaming surfaces set off by sensational cameo contrast and other frosted devices. Superb, a true rarity and a prize for the connoisseur. In the cataloguer's opinion, this is among the finest known and should be graded higher. NGC graded Proof 64 Ultra Cameo.
Estimated Value $6,500 - 8,000.
