1911 Proof Half Sovereign PCGS PR66DCAM
As is widely known, proof five pound, two pound, and sovereigns have risen in price significantly the last ten years; what is less known is that half sovereigns have only just started to follow this trend. Indeed, high-grade proof half sovereigns can still be had for under $20,000, which seems cheap compared to larger gold coins of similar numismatic rarity. The 1911 proof half sovereign photographed here is the single-finest example of this otherwise unimposing date. It is also one of just two coins awarded the coveted Deep Cameo designation, putting it in the top 1% of proof 1911 half sovereigns certified by PCGS (2/23). Our price is bold and a reflection of the strength of the proof gold coin market in general. We offer this coin to a very specific collector, one with confidence that the market has momentum to continue its decade-long rise. Not all collectors are eligible to purchase this coin, but if you are, please contact us to discuss. Professional Coin Grading Service is the global leader in coin authentication and grading. With over 60 million coins graded and counting, PCGS is trusted by collectors, dealers, and investors to certify authenticity, protect value, and elevate market confidence. This is a direct conversion of the 70-point PCGS grade to a 10-point scale, intended to present the grade in a more intuitive format for newer collectors. It is not our personal opinion or an attempt at regrading the coin to a different standard.
