Victoria gold Proof Sovereign 1853 PR65+ Deep Cameo PCGS, KM736.1, S-3852D, W&R-305 (R3). A premier representative of this important singular gold denomination, hailing from Victoria's rare 1853 Proof set and ranked as the finest Deep/Ultra Cameo example across both PCGS and NGC. The cameo contrast achieved between the Queen's portrait and the honey-toned fields is as strong as we could imagine for a coin of this type, lending a remarkable visual effect at virtually every angle of inspection. A hint of blue iridescence has taken to the obverse, where only the slightest traces of contact may be found amidst universally intense mirror reflectivity. Truly splendid, and a must-have for the collector who desires only coins belonging to the highest tier of certified quality.
