Lot 1105
Lot 31105 > George V gold Proof 5 Pounds 1911 PR67 NGC, KM822, S-3995. An extraordinary survivor from George V's coronation Proof set. Out of the 2,812 examples of the 1911 5 Pounds, 317 have been graded by NGC and PCGS combined, and of this number a total of four have been graded at the PR67 or PR67 Cameo level, with none higher. As such, this offering is simply the best of the type one could hope to obtain, its color a far richer honey gold than one usually sees for issue, the fields bearing the usual die polish lines but essentially no evidence of handling whatsoever. With popularity growing year upon year for this Proof-only type, this may be one of the last few opportunities to obtain a top-graded specimen.
