Victoria gold 2 Pounds 1887 MS65+ PCGS, Royal mint, KM768, S-3865. A conservatively graded Gem that immediately captivates the viewer, with swirling luster that glazes the honey-toned surfaces in magnificent light, blushes of rose color that permeate the planchet, and fields that remain void of any distinguishing marks. As one might expect at this deluxe level of preservation, the illustrations have benefitted from an expert strike, leaving each detail pleasingly crisp, while soaring rims beautifully frame each side in raised presentation. A veritable jewel, and in this MS65+ grade, a lone second behind the Terner MS66 (sold in our January NY sale for $7,637.50) in the PCGS census, which we honestly find no nicer than this example.
