1849 GOLD HALF-SOVEREIGN MS 65
NGC 2062940-004

Outstanding coin, one of the rarer Victoria issues in GEM condition with none certified finer by NGC or PCGS.
Resplendent and choice, with classically toned golden surfaces and full luster that easily gleams from across the fields. Rather bold in strike and visually engaging at every turn, with undeniable eye appeal.
From the D.Moore Collection.
Ex. Heritage Signature Auction # 3051, New York, January 2017, lot 32197.
