George VI 4-Piece Certified gold Proof Set 1937 NGC,
1) 1/2 Sovereign - PR65★, KM858, S-4077
2) Sovereign - PR64★, KM859, S-4076
3) 2 Pounds - PR65, KM860, S-4075
4) 5 Pounds - PR64+★, KM861, S-4074
KM-PS22, S-PS15. Popular in any grade, this 4-piece gold Proof Set stands out from the crowd through its being an almost complete 'star' designated quartet! Three out of the four pieces carry this lofty designation for their exceptional eye-appeal, with only the 2 Pounds wanting for the extra honor (although it resides comfortably at the gem-level grade). All four of these pieces boast a frosted portrait of George VI against flashy fields, unusual for the type and deserving of a cameo designation; this title may have been retained due to each reverse exhibiting very little frosting, instead appearing fully brilliant (and thoroughly attractive in themselves). A truly exceptional set, scarcely matched for eye appeal and quality, accompanied by its original red box of issue.
