Edward VII gold Matte Proof 2 Pounds 1902 PR62 PCGS, KM806, S-3968. This piece is likely as struck as opposed to its designated grade, but unfortunately the sandblasting process alters the surface of those from this matte issue so much as to imply imperfection when, in truth, it is simply how they were made. This present example is particularly attractive for this type with appealing honey-colored surfaces lit by a light orange tone, Edward's portrait exceptionally strong and brighter than usually seen on these types; the reverse St. George is similarly bold with subdued reflectivity in the fields. A choice representative of this issue with excellent eye-appeal.
