GREAT BRITAIN. 1/2 Sovereign, 1887. London Mint. Victoria. NGC MS-64 Prooflike.
S-3869; Fr-393; KM-766. A highly desirable example from the year of the Queen's Jubilee, the present example offers beautifully struck details and a sharp almost cameo-like contrast that proves this example worthy of the prooflike designation. Though this year and type is common in MS grade, this is only one of two examples certified as Prooflike by NGC, and thus it should be considered VERY RARE as such. The splendid eye appeal should drive much attention beyond a normal golden jubilee Half-Sovereign.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
