Description

Victoria gold 5 Pounds 1887 MS62 PCGS, KM769, S-3864. Prooflike in all but certification, this appears to be a particularly well made business strike with no discernible bagmarks whatsoever, very unusual for the type. This factor coupled with hairlines in the fields (in line with the grade) leads one to theorise that this 5 Pound piece was selected for inclusion in a jubilee specimen set very shortly after striking, the hairlines caused by surface friction from the box in which it was housed. In any case, the coin is undeniably pretty with strong golden color and a fantastic portrait of Victoria. From the Lake County Collection
