George V 12-Piece Certified gold & silver "Long" Proof Set 1911 NGC,
1) Maundy Penny - PR65, S-4020
2) Maundy 2 Pence - PR64, S-4019
3) Maundy 3 Pence - PR64, S-4018
4) Maundy 4 Pence - PR64, S-4017
5) 6 Pence - PR65, S-4014
6) Shilling - PR66, S-4013
7) Florin - PR65, S-4012
8) 1/2 Crown - PR66, S-4011
9) 1/2 Sovereign - PR67 Ultra Cameo, S-4006
10) Sovereign - PR67 Cameo, S-3996
11) 2 Pounds - PR67 Ultra Cameo, S-3995
12) 5 Pounds - PR65+ Ultra Cameo, S-3994
KM-PS17, S-PS11. Spectacular, the entirety of George V's coronation Proofs in exemplary preservation. "Long" and "Short" sets were produced in 1911, the latter omitting the 2 and 5 Pounds; these two denominations are amongst the most popular in the entire British series, and as such the "Long" set is far more popular. The silver components of this set are matched in appearance, a pearl-white with darker charcoal elements cloaking the devices, the fields with some red and cobalt blue tinges. The Halfcrown is particularly attracting and seems conservatively graded even for its premium gem certification. The four gold pieces are stunning, all but the 5 Pounds at incredible PR67 level (with no PR68s of the type certified by either NGC or PCGS) - yet the 5 Pounds has its own exceptional note, being a premium gem and the only Ultra Cameo piece certified by NGC. Not one of these pieces fails to impress, a delightful group accompanied by their original red leather box of issue.
