Victoria gold 5 Pounds 1887 MS66 NGC, Royal mint, KM769, S-3864. A coin that perhaps deserves an even finer designation, showing a beautiful sheath of golden satin across both sides and open fields that are about as pristine as can be. The jubilee portrait of the Queen is exceptionally decorated and has been expertly struck to reveal each detail in full splendor. The reverse design is equally superb, with cartwheeling luster that sweeps the expanses in vibrant light. It seems rather inconceivable that a coin of this size and age has been preserved so carefully, likely spending most, if not all of its existence as a collection centerpiece; and while there are currently 400 business strike examples certified at NGC, the present offering is tied with only one other specimen in this top level of quality. As such, this marks an incredible opportunity for the elite collector who demands the best, because this is it.
