GREAT BRITAIN. 2 Pounds, 1893. London Mint. Victoria. PCGS PROOF-64 Cameo.
S-3873; Fr-395A; KM-786; WR-294 (Scarce). Mintage: 773. A charmer from the famed 1893 proof set, this wholesome near-Gem delivers much impressiveness, with the design reaching a new level when displaying the cameo effect. The devices are lightly frosted and with the sharply mirrored fields much contrast can be gleaned from holding the piece in hand. Some light friction wisps and a few hits behind the bust are noted for completeness and likely prevent a Gem distinction, though these faults are more marginal than disfiguring.
