George VI gold Proof 5 Pounds 1937 PR65 Ultra Cameo NGC, Royal mint, KM861, S-4074. An always popular type, and one that is a regular in our Platinum Night sessions. Nonetheless, this piece still stands out from the usual 1937 5 pounds that one encounters in the market on account of its exceptional state of preservation. Indeed, of the 694 examples graded by both NGC and PCGS, this coin is tied with 27 others at the PR65 Ultra/Deep Cameo level, with just a combined 49 higher. In other words, it ranks in the top 10% of all graded examples, which is no small feat. Exceptionally mirrored fields with starkly frosted devices combine to give this piece great eye appeal, further adding to its allure.
