George V 5-Piece Certified Proof Set 1933 NGC,
1) 3 Pence - PR65, KM1
2) 6 Pence - PR66, KM2
3) Shilling - PR66, KM3
4) Florin - PR66, KM4
5) 1/2 Crown - PR67, KM5
KM-PS1. Mintage: 20. The exceptionally rare first Proof set of the nation, and one which truly has no parallel in the series, far outstripping the desirability of even the famous Waitangi set of 1935. Though Remick recorded an estimated mintage of 20 pieces in Proof for each denomination, it seems as though even these figures might be high--according to our research, no other specimens of such a set have occurred on auction in the last two decades, with an example missing from even major collections such as Pittman, Remick, and Diana. Indeed, the only other listing we are aware of was part of Noble Numismatics' Sale 45 (July 1994, Lot 729), which was, however, unpictured. Toned in a brilliant array across all issues that confirms each coin's longtime storage together as a set, equally impressive to the offerings' eye appeal is their absolute conditional superiority--the 1/2 Crown and 3 Pence the finest yet seen by NGC, while the Shilling and Florin are the second finest. Undoubtedly near the peak of achievable quality, and unsurprisingly a selection that formerly featured in the collection of the Victoria Mint.
Ex. Heritage Auction #3037 (January 2015, Lot 31251); Baldwin's Auction 86 (May 2014, Lot 936); Victoria Mint Duplicate Sale
