Lot 1334
Great Britain. Half Sovereign, 1893. Victoria Old Head. S-3878. Fr-397a; KM-784. While the mintage was a mere 773 pieces for the sets issued this year for collectors, really fine examples are a lot harder to locate than many believe. It would also be easy to assume that late-19th-century Proofs in gold just come nice, based on the coins in this sale, but nothing could be farther from the truth. Just take a little flight to London and see for yourself how many you can find! This is a beautiful coin! Heavily frosted cameo and gorgeous gold color! PCGS graded Proof 64 Deep Cameo.
Estimated Value $750 - 1,000.
