George V gold Proof 5 Pounds 1911 PR64 PCGS, KM822, S-3994. Mintage: 2,812. Premium even for its near-gem grade, this charming 5 Pounds displays sleek and largely unmarred surfaces with diagonal die-polish lines, texturing the fields which still retain their deep mint flash. George's portrait and the reverse depiction of St. George and dragon are both pristine, boldly rendered yet still retaining their crisp highpoint detail. The sole detracting aspect of this piece is a scratch on the reverse below the horse's leg, without which this offering would surely have achieved a gem level grade.
