Lot 308
Great Britain. Sovereign, 1839. Victoria Young Head. S-3852; Fr-387a; KM-736.1. Plain edge. Mintage: 300 pieces, approximately, issued for the coronation sets. WR-303. The existence of the patterns that come immediately before this coin in this sale tends to belie the value of this lovely Proof sovereign. It enjoys the normal frosted cameo contrast, but its fields are much cleaner than are normally seen. Our experience of 22 years of collecting sovereigns suggests that, yes, these Proofs are only "scarce" (as WR notes), but that does not begin to tell you how difficult it is to locate a really choice piece such as this wonderful example. A classic of its age! PCGS graded Proof 64 Deep Cameo.
Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,500.
