George V Proof 2-1/2 Shillings 1933 PR64 NGC, KM19.3, Hern-S284. Mintage: 20. A stunning near-gem, and one that can quite easily be said to stand on the very precipice of a finer grade, clearly pressing the upper bounds of its assigned designation. Astonishingly clear and blemish-free, the surfaces do not display the least evidence of post-mint wiping or handling, disclosing only minor remnants of die rust and swirling die polish lines. One of just 5 Proofs currently certified by NGC with none yet awarded Ultra Cameo status, our research indicates an utter paucity of Proof strikings of this date coming to auction in recent years.
Ex. Bakewell Collection
