1825 Proof Half Sovereign - PCGS PR63DCAM

Great Britain, 1825 Proof Half Sovereign -

While the commercial proof gold coins of 1826 appear on the market several times a year, the patterns of 1825 are much rarer. The exact number of 1825 proof patterns minted is not known, but numismatists believe that fewer than twenty coins of each denomination are currently trading the market. PCGS has certified just four 1825 proof half sovereigns, with the finest example graded offered here in PR63DC (3/23). If you’re building a proof half sovereign set, or are seeking to acquire a superlative example of a rarer early British proof coin, this is your coin.
