Victoria gold 2 Pounds 1887 MS66+ NGC, KM768, S-3865. A top-class representative that currently ranks as the single-finest example of its type certified across both NGC and PCGS combined. Absolutely delightful in hand, the surfaces are tinged with a halo of orange-gold tone that only further enhances the sublime visual display engendered by remarkably fluid luster, which is virtually undisturbed by traces of contact. As surely as one would expect, the strike is utterly sharp, yielding a clear expression of detail throughout even the most intricate portions of the designs. For such a popular type, of which over 1,100 have been certified to date, to locate the absolute finest thereof is no small feat, and it seems nearly a given fact to say that this coin will necessarily end up in the hands of a collector who must have only the absolute finest quality available.
