GREAT BRITAIN. Coronation Matte Proof Set (13 Pieces), 1902. London Mint. PROOF.
S-PS9; KM-PS15. Mintage: 8,066 sets. A complete 13 piece set with the original mint issued case. A well matched grouping with brightly blond gold issues and coldly argent silver pieces. Only the smaller denominations showcase any hint of toning, as most pieces have uniformly white surfaces. For accuracy, some coins do have a few light hairlines. The case's silk and purple velour interior is in excellent condition with some light flaking and cracking evident on the red leather exterior. Certainly an effective way to acquire the gamut of Edwardian types, though this grouping is also a necessity for collectors who are more focused on the time period.
Estimate: $4000 - $6000
