Edward VII gold 5 Pounds 1902 MS62 PCGS, KM807, S-3965. Of the 35,000 business strike 5 Pounds produced in this year, 27,000 pieces were melted leaving just 8,000 behind; accordingly, specimens such as the present offering are as scarce if not scarcer than the matte proofs produced in this same year. This example is a bright and lustrous gold, a pleasant contrast to the matte proofs one is accustomed to seeing; it has been very well-struck from fresh dies, and bears only minor contact marks in the field. A lovely 5 Pound piece, well-preserved and scarce, sure to please its next owner.
