George V gold Proof 5 Pounds 1911 PR64 Cameo NGC, KM822, S-3994, W&R-414. Mintage: 2,812. Decidedly high-end for the type, due to a dramatic drop-off of certified examples above the "64" level. Its clean appearance is readily apparent, and only minute hairlines and a singular occurrence of wispy marks above the horse's tail act to preclude an even finer designation. The surfaces clearly lack any discernible instances of handling or contact, while a light frost over the raised devices couples with mirrored fields to yield a subtle cameo effect. A spectacular near-gem in total.
