Edward VII gold Matte Proof 2 Pounds 1902 PR65 NGC, KM806, S-3968. After examining this specimen, it is plain to see what drove the Royal Mint's decision to sandblast the dies for Edward VII's coronation Proof set. This 2 Pound coin is far, far finer than typically encountered for the issue, surfaces a deep butterscotch, color intensified by its lack of reflectivity; every hair of Edward's low-relief portrait is crisply represented here on this sublime Proof. Amongst the very finest certified and worthy of a considerable premium to most seen for its beauty and quality.
