Edward VII gold 5 Pounds 1902 AU58 NGC, 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. Premium for the Almost Uncirculated grade, this piece boasts a rich apricot colored planchet with abundant luster, a strong portrait of Edward and only minor bagmarks in the field. There looks to be some minor flattening to St. George on the reverse in line with the grade.
