Great Britain
Edward VII gold 5 Pounds 1902 MS62+ PCGS, KM807, S-3965. More seldom encountered than its matte Proof counterparts from the Coronation set of the same year, the majority of this type's mintage was remelted leaving few survivors. Those that remained saw years of inter-bank trading leading to copious bagmarks and hairlines being nearly unavoidable for this series. The present offering, however, shows a far less extensive coverage of these detractions than is normal for the type and indeed resides but a hair's breadth from the choice grade level. Abundant velvety luster coats the sun-yellow surfaces, illuminating the strong striking detail and sleek surfaces. Unusual this appealing and sure to please its next proud owner.
