1820 GOLD HALF-SOVEREIGN MS64+
NGC 2814835-001

A beautiful and very choice UNC coin having unending luster that cartwheels the surfaces in a GEM fashion and giving more than a little eye appeal. The King's portrait is as bold as can be and the reverse shield retains an as-struck appearance.
Provenance given on the grading insert as having been from the Jacob Y. Terner Collection.
Ex Heritage Auction # 3014, Rosemont, April 2011, lot 24149.
Crossed over from PCGS. ( 21474761 )
Single finest NGC and PCGS.
