| Lot description: Great Britain Victoria gold "Shield" Sovereign 1841 MS65+ PCGS, KM736.1, S-3852, Marsh-24 (R3). A notably challenging date to locate in anything approaching Mint State, in fact the last straight-graded example we handled was an XF45 which was sold in 2020 for $9,300 all in. A look at the Bentley Collection's Lot 41, which realized £7,200 in 2012, confirms the present piece to be a vastly superior example. Within this framework, it is difficult for the present cataloger to curb the excitement when viewing this coin in hand. The young Queen's effigy is delicately detailed, surrounded by a halo of blissfully radiating bloom. Turning to reverse, the shield is struck up with pinpoint precision and rests on a field of opulent resplendence. Currently standing alone at the apex of the certified population at PCGS and a true elite tier selection that commands a premium bid.
