Great Britain: William IV gold Sovereign 1832 MS65 PCGS,...

Description

William IV gold Sovereign 1832 MS65 PCGS, KM717, S-3829B, Marsh-17. Second bust. An absolute show-stopper of a Sovereign, and one whose former inclusion in such discerning collections as Millennia and Jacob Terner speaks volumes to the singularity of its quality. Situated unchallenged at the peak of the certified population, with the next finest ranking a full point lower at PCGS and seven points lower at NGC, even from a glance it is readily apparent that the coin is essentially pristine. A thick coat of satin luster dresses the surfaces, providing an ideal canvass for sharply rendered features that rise in stark contrast. Certainly, the best that most collectors in the series could hope to achieve, and an offering which breaks all of the usual stereotypes for William's typically poorly preserved gold coinage.
