George V 4-Piece Certified gold Proof Set 1911 NGC,
1) 1/2 Sovereign - PR65 Cameo, KM819, S-4006
2) Sovereign - PR65, KM820, S-3996
3) 2 Pounds - PR65, KM821, S-3995
4) 5 Pounds - PR64, KM822, S-3994
A charming set, the Half Sovereign, Sovereign and 2 Pounds all at gem level grade with a patina which has dulled the brilliant surfaces; this actually adds to the eye appeal, giving a matte effect and intensifying the color of the gold. The 5 Pounds is not far behind in terms of grade, but with a lighter, lemon-gold planchet and less of a patina. Hairlines reside in the fields as-made, with few subsequent marks or handling. A chance for a collector to obtain each denomination in this gold Proof Set in one fell swoop, and in premium grades.
