Description

Heavily Frosted "Widow Head" 5 Pounds

Victoria gold Proof 5 Pounds 1893 PR62 Deep Cameo PCGS, KM787, S-3872, W&R-287, March-F34. By Thomas Brock. Mintage: 773. A sought-after type in Proof, featuring the Veiled/Widow Head bust of Queen Victoria. The heavy golden frost that resides across the raised features yields a delightful night-and-day contrast with the golden mirrored fields surrounding, elevating the specimen to a level worthy of a full Deep Cameo designation. Meanwhile, the devices themselves are carefully preserved as to reveal only the most minimal instances of barely detectable handling. Indeed, only fine hairline wisps in the open areas limit this piece from finer certification, though, at the cusp of choice, it is certainly bound to attract considerable bidder interest.
