Finest 1887 Jubilee Five Pounds

Victoria gold 5 Pounds 1887 MS66+ NGC, KM769, Fr-390, S-3864, Schneider-653. An immaculate representative of this perennial favorite of British collectors despite the prolific nature of this issue. Extraordinary golden resplendence abounds, hosted by a fully reflective and expansive canvas from which Victoria's mature portrait is proudly displayed upon. A prominent mint brilliance traverses the devices unimpeded, highlighting notably glassy fields devoid of visual detractor, lending to the coin's clearly advanced designation. Imbued with a superior strike as to rendered each painstakingly-engraved detail evident, down to the ruffling and lace rarely seen to Victoria's veil. Of nearly 1,600 examples submitted to NGC and PCGS, the current offering ranks at the very peak of the census, tied for the finest certified with only two others. As such, we expect bidding consistent with this fact and cannot fathom the heights this piece will reach.
