George IV gold Sovereign 1827 MS64 NGC, KM696, S-3801, Marsh-12 (S). The obverse is downright phenomenal on this highly original selection, boasting a haloing luster surrounding the King's well-struck effigy. The reverse shield admits central softness to strike as is frequently the case for the type, but compensates this with a scintillating bloom charging across the fields. A conditional rarity, presently bested by just one example across the two grading services.
