Victoria gold 5 Pounds 1887 MS61 NGC, KM769, S-3864. Peppered with contact marks indicating time spent in a bank bag; these large denomination gold pieces rarely made it into the hands of common folk, meaning their general use was in large-scale bank transactions. Nonetheless, this piece has survived relatively unscathed, Mint State with considerable luster and no wear whatsoever. Richly colored a butter-yellow with dazzling fields, a premium piece indeed.
