Royal mint. A rare example of an 1887 Jubilee Mint Set, as opposed to the more often-encountered proof sets. All of the coins are nice and original, and aside from the half sovereign, problem-free. The set comes with two tags, suggesting that at least two of the coins were purchased from Baldwin's in 1944, with the original purchaser paying £47.10 for the 5 pounds.

Estimate: 8000-10000 USD
