George VI 4-Piece Certified gold Proof Set 1937 PCGS, 1) 1/2 Sovereign - PR65, KM858, S-4077 (Ex Terner) 2) Sovereign - PR66, KM859, S-4076 3) 2 Pounds - PR65 Cameo, KM860, S-4075 4) 5 Pounds - PR66 Cameo, KM861, S-4074 KM-PS22, S-PS15. An outstanding set for this type, surely one of the highest graded assemblages extant. The 5 Pounds particularly is extraordinary for its large size and technical quality; of the original 5,500 Proof 5 Pounds produced in 1937, 773 have been graded by NGC or PCGS. Of this number, just 48 have been graded PR66, with 5 PR67 examples representing the top grade level for the type (the scratch seen in the photo is on the holder and not the coin). The impressive Terner provenance for the 1/2 Sovereign is a clear indication of its quality (as Terner is renowned for collecting only the finest specimens), whilst the Sovereign is housed in an old green label PCGS holder, a type known for their conservative grading, and accordingly is premium even for its superb premium gem grade. A set almost impossible to upgrade upon and sure to appeal to the grade-conscious. Accompanied by original red leather box of issue.
