Online bidding is underway for the sale, which represents Part II of the Peh Family Collection and is being held on June 4, 2024.
At center stage in this sale is a Great Britain 1839 Una and the Lion 5 Sovereign graded NGC PF 62 Ultra Cameo (lot 1173). These gold coins celebrating the young Queen Victoria are extremely popular with collectors because of their beautiful design, which includes a magnificent scene on the reverse with her guiding a lion representing England. The coin is almost certain to soar past its minimum estimate of $100,000.
