Victoria 4-Piece Certified gold Partial Proof Set 1887 NGC,
1) 1/2 Sovereign - PR64+ Ultra Cameo NGC, KM766, S-3869
2) Sovereign - PR65 Ultra Cameo NGC, KM767, S-3866B
3) 2 Pounds - PR66 Cameo NGC, KM768, S-3865
4) 5 Pounds - PR66 Ultra Cameo PCGS, KM769, S-3864
cf. KMPS10, cf. S-PS5. An exceptional quartet consisting of the four highest denomination gold pieces from Victoria's Jubilee Proof set. From a mintage of 797, representatives of this popular set are not uncommon at auction and the opportunity to obtain them arises a few times per year. However, the outstanding preservation of this assemblage sets them far, far apart from the norm and excludes all but the most dedicated collectors of British Proofs. Almost all residing at gem or premium gem level grades, the PR66 5 Pounds is especially notable; just one PR66+ specimen has been certified by PCGS, none others graded higher. Indeed, the last example of this type in this exceptional grade realized $156,000 in our January auction by itself. Accordingly, we expect extremely strong bidding for this fabulous, essentially unbeatable group.
