George VI 4-Piece Certified gold Proof Set 1937 PCGS,
1) 1/2 Sovereign - PR64 Cameo, KM858, S-4077
2) Sovereign - PR65 Deep Cameo, KM859, S-4076
3) 2 Pounds - PR64, KM860, S-4075
4) 5 Pounds - PR64 Deep Cameo, KM861, S-4074
KM-PS22, S-PS15. Unlike other British Proof sets (for example, that produced in 1893), the 1937 gold Proofs were not produced with a reliably frosted finish to the devices; accordingly, many fall short from receiving the coveted 'Cameo' designation, let alone the lofty 'Deep Cameo'. As such this present set is highly unusual with both a Deep Cameo Sovereign and 5 Pounds. The latter boasts a particularly rich gold color to the planchet, both George's portrait and the reverse devices highly matte and contrasting to the mirror fields (which exhibit polish lines as is standard, but hardly detract). A highly impressive quartet of superlative Proofs, accompanied by their original red leather box of issue.
