Victoria gold Proof £5 1887, S-3864, KM769, Jubilee Head, PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC, nonpareil quality, perfectly struck on a perfect flan, ideal contrast between the portrait and the surrounding "deep pool" flawless field, and the same cameo effect appears on the reverse, the orange-peel texture of the gold in the fields as fine as it was the moment this coin was struck 127 years ago. Any verbal description would fail to compete with this coin's over-the-moon eye-appeal. Glorious!
Estimate: 20000-25000 USD
