George IV gold Proof 2 Pounds 1826 PR64 Ultra Cameo NGC, KM701, S-3799, W&R-228. Wholly admirable in-hand, with only typical hairlines to establish the near-gem grade, though in this case it must be said that these remain exceedingly light, lending high appeal to the mirrored fields, which contrast clearly against George's thickly frosted portrait and the razor-sharp reverse arms. Only the closest inspection reveals even a hint of contact over the King's features, the result one of pristine quality that is only matched in very few examples of the type.
