Description

Immensely Frosted Jubilee Proof 5 Pounds

Victoria gold Proof 5 Pounds 1887 PR63★ Ultra Cameo NGC, KM769, S-3864, W&R-285. Mintage: 797. The 1887 5 Pounds is among the most recognizable and widely collected issues in the British Proof gold series. Richly frosted devices stand in bold contrast to the deeply mirrored fields, creating the exceptional eye appeal recognized by NGC's coveted "star" designation. Only the lightest hairlines, entirely consistent with the assigned grade, prevent an even finer designation. An impressive example of this ever-popular Victorian classic.
