1830 Proof Sovereign PCGS PR63DCAM
There are several very desirable British rarities. The obvious examples, such as the Una and the Lion, trade in the six figures, but there are a few lesser-known coins that sell at more affordable levels, despite their greater rarity. The 1830 proof William IV sovereign is one such coin. Minted in low numbers and described as a pattern by numismatists, the 1830 proof sovereign is rarer than both the Una and the 1826 five pound (both of which sell for higher prices). The present coin, photographed above, is pleasing and has great eye appeal. It is lightly abraded in the fields, but this does not distract from the impactful appearance of the coin. As is to be expected in a piece awarded the Deep Cameo suffix, the lustre pools deeply and the fields are super reflective. If you’ve been searching for an underrated British rarity, but don’t want to spend six figures for one of the more well-known issues, this 1830 proof sovereign is your coin. Equal-third finest graded by PCGS (4/23) and rare. Professional Coin Grading Service is the global leader in coin authentication and grading.
