George VI 4-Piece Certified gold Proof Set 1937 NGC,
1) 1/2 Sovereign - PR63, KM858, S-4077
2) Sovereign - PR65, KM859, S-4076
3) 2 Pounds - PR65, KM860, S-4075
4) 5 Pounds - PR66 Cameo, KM861, S-4074
KM-PS22, S-PS15. An amazing quartet of coronation Proofs, their grades the reverse of what one would expect for this type; generally, the larger components exhibit more hairlines than the smaller denominations due to their increased weight and thus increased pressure against the boxes that house them. As such, it is surprising that the 1/2 Sovereign here holds a PR63 grade, yet the Sovereign and 1/2 Sovereign are both gems at PR65 and the 5 Pounds has received an incredible PR66 Cameo certification. This lofty premium gem exhibits almost no hairlines whatsoever, the overriding visual effect one of absolute sleekness and bright reflectivity, George's portrait luxuriously frosted in line with its grade. Simply outstanding quality and sure to appeal to the advanced collector of British gold Proofs.
