UNITED KINGDOM. Victoria, 1837-1901. Gold sovereign, 1853. London. Proof. Extremely rare, R4.- Rated R4, extremely rare. There are only 11-20 examples. No example is present in the thorough and extensive Slaney Collection.- One of the rarest issues of the extremely sought after, proof sovereign series. - Featuring a strong and full cameo that is so rare for the issue.

(AGW=0.2355 oz.)Composition: 917.0/1000 Gold.The CoinDescribed as “impressive and very elusive” in the Bentley Collection, the 1853 proof sovereign is a wonder of British numismatics. It was originally issued both in sets and singly either for or on behalf of the Royal family through the Court Jeweller “Hunt and Roskell”. The 1853 proof sets are the rarest ever produced by the Mint in all of British pre-decimal coinage. It is quite possible that these sets, with their altered initials, were issued in memoriam of their late designer, the great William Wyon (1795-51).Described conservatively as R3 by Wilson and Rasmussen and later more accurately as R4 by Marsh, the 1853 proof sovereign is very rarely offered and extremely sought after. So rare is this popular issue that no example was included in the extensive Slaney Collection, so praised for its near exhaustive completeness. The coin itself is extremely attractive, featuring a full cameo very rarely seen on other examples. The fields are flashy and unworn perfectly showing the surface texture of the polished dies. Moving the coin around in one’s hand the dark and deeply mirrored surfaces jump to life and glow with a new shade of gold at every angle, while the satiny devices shimmer with a controlled and delicate lustre. The true beauty and rich contrast of a cameo proof is on full display in this so skilfully struck example. No graded example with an Ultra or Deep Cameo designation has been offered publicly in recent history. There are no serious marks or distractions to the design, only light chatter as indicated by the grade. This is a premium example of a legendary proof issue.PLEASE NOTE: 6% Buyer Premium + VAT on this lot. No other fees, including live bidding.

(AGW=0.1155 oz.)Composition: 916.0/1000 Gold.The CoinThis is an extremely rare pattern issue by the great Richard Yeo in his prime. Only five examples, including this one, have traded publicly in the last two decades. This particularly delicate and well-proportioned bust exists on no other issue. This is also the joint finest graded example of this unique bust. The svelte slopes of neck, cheek and shoulder are so perfectly and subtly engraved, giving the impression of freshly pressed snow. A velvet lustre shimmers and dances over each curve breathing life into the regnal depiction. Flipping the coin over, a bold and precisely engraved royal shield meets the eye. This contrast perfectly complements each side of the coin, accenting both the softness of royal flesh and the cold strength of aristocracy. All of this boldly stands out against beautifully reflective fields of a subtle olive tone that under direct light erupts into a blazing yellow. Truly a world class example, having graced the Dangar Collection, Slaney Collection and British Collection. Befitting only of the cream of numismatic collectors. Richard Yeo (c.1720-79)Richard Yeo first came to prominence in 1746 upon his creation of the official medal for the Battle of Culloden. From 1749, he was assistant engraver at the Royal Mint under the great John Sigmund Tanner. In 1775, Yeo officially succeeded Tanner as Chief Engraver at the mint. However, as a result of Tanner’s failing eyesight and other health issues Yeo had been acting effectively as Chief Engraver since 1760 but without the appropriate pay. This was amended in 1768 when he was awarded £500 for past labours. Tanner designed and engraved British coinage as Chief until his death in 1779. Yeo was an extremely accomplished engraver producing several patterns and circulation issues throughout his career and his particularly fine style brought a delicate realism to coins of the period.Yeo was also a member of the Incorporated Society of Artists (1761-91) and founding member of the Royal Academy of Arts. He exhibited his works at the Academy in both 1769 and 1770. The Slaney CollectionThis coin was a member of the prestigious Slaney Collection – one of the most revered collections of British coinage ever assembled. For decades collectors had wondered where the cream of the numismatic crop liquidated in the 40s and 50s had disappeared to, only to find most of it in the Slaney Collection, which was sold by SPINK in two sales in May 2003 and May 2015. The collection sold for over £4 million; broke numerous sale records; is considered a milestone in British coinage; and ushered in a new era of serious growth in the market.

(AGW=0.1237 oz.)Composition: 916.0/1000 Gold.Edge: MilledDesigner/engraver: John Croker (1670-1741)The CoinThe half guineas of George II are a series plagued with surface issues, with a large number of examples having been found in water and exhibiting related surface problems. This coin features no such issues and with just a handful of examples graded higher (undoubtedly including resubmissions) this is one of the best examples of the issue available to collectors. The coin has beautiful surfaces that glint and glimmer with a subtle, swirling lustre - extremely rare on these issues. The strike is good for the issue and Croker’s strong and characterful design exists here proudly. A world-class example of a problematic series.John Croker (1670-1741)Johann Croker, who later anglicised his name to John, was born in Dresden, Saxony in 1690. As a child, Croker lost his father, an accomplished cabinet maker, and was then taken under the wing of his goldsmith and jeweller godfather. The budding artist flourished under this apprenticeship and upon its completion made his way to England, via the Netherlands, where he worked as a jeweller and medallist until becoming an assistant to Henry Harris, Chief Engraver of the Royal Mint, in 1697 – not long after a not-yet-knighted Isaac Newton joined the mint as Warden. In 1705, the same year Mr Newton became Sir Isaac, Croker was appointed as Chief Engraver. Croker, working closely with Newton, engraved nearly all dies of Queen Anne, King George I, and many of George II. Few engravers have left as great an impact on British coinage as John Croker. In 1729, a 24-year-old John Sigmund Tanner (1705-75) was appointed his assistant. With Croker’s death in 1741, Tanner carried on the torch of Chief Engraver.PLEASE NOTE: 6% Buyer Premium + VAT on this lot. No other fees, including live bidding.
