Victoria Proof Florin 1887 PR64 PCGS, KM746.4, S-3901. A very rare proof issue of this popular type. Proof florins of the Jubilee type from this year are significantly less scarce than those of the Gothic type. Indeed, we can find only one other sale of a proof Gothic florin in the last decade or more; that was the current piece, offered raw by Spink in June 2011, where it hammered for 3,200 GBP (about $5,163 at the time). As most savvy dealers and collectors are aware, though, the market for high grade British proofs has gone up enormously in the interim six years. This piece, while not only a technical near-Gem, possesses superb eye appeal with wholly original surfaces and strong underlying luster.
Ex. Spink 11009 (22 June 2011), lot 1146; Spink Numismatic Circular, April 2002, MS2527.
