1911 Proof Half Sovereign - PCGS PR66DCAM

Great Britain, 1911 Proof Half Sovereign -

As is widely known, proof five pound, two pound, and sovereigns have risen in price significantly the last ten years; what is less known is that half sovereigns have only just started to follow this trend. Indeed, high-grade proof half sovereigns can still be had for under $20,000, which seems cheap compared to larger gold coins of similar numismatic rarity. The 1911 proof half sovereign photographed here is the single-finest example of this otherwise unimposing date. It is also one of just two coins awarded the coveted Deep Cameo designation, putting it in the top 1% of proof 1911 half sovereigns certified by PCGS (2/23). Our price is bold and a reflection of the strength of the proof gold coin market in general. We offer this coin to a very specific collector, one with confidence that the market has momentum to continue its decade-long rise. Not all collectors are eligible to purchase this coin, but if you are, please contact us to discuss.
