Lot 2571
Great Britain. Proof gold overeign, 1826. S.3801; Fr-377a; KM-696; WR-237 (Rarity-2). George IV, Bare Head. Mintage: approximately 400 pieces. The special sets of this year were occasioned by the king's own request that his portrait on all his coinage be changed to this new style, which shows him as being much less portly than he actually was; it's quite a dignified bust, and all of the coins of this style are rarer than catalogue value suggest, in truly choice states. NGC graded Proof 65 Ultra Cameo.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000.
