Great Britain: William IV gold Sovereign 1831 MS64+ NGC,...

Description

Elusive "WW Without Stops" Sovereign

William IV gold Sovereign 1831 MS64+ NGC, KM717, S-3829a, EGC-1017, Marsh-16a (R5). First bust, incuse W.W. without stops. A particularly impressive and scarce example of the date, where most specimens we handle include stops after William Wyon's initials, and are notably absent here, going from an R2 to an R5, according to Marsh. Waves of brilliant frost ripple across the aurous surfaces, fully enhancing the enjoyable appearances of this virtual Gem. The sole finest for the variety and bested by just two for the date, coupled with its advanced eye appeal, makes this an opportunity not to be passed up by both type collectors and specialists.
