GREAT BRITAIN. 5 Pounds, 1887. London Mint. Victoria. NGC PROOF-61 Cameo.
S-3864; Fr-390A; KM-769. Mintage: 797 (all varieties). Variety without B.P. on reverse. An always desired type on account to its commemoration of Victoria's 50th Jubilee, this handsome piece yields a sharp strike and wonderful cameo contrast. Some friction is noted, making the grade, though this is neither harsh nor ugly. An always desired type that is RARER than the norm with the missing reverse engraver initials, we expect much competition to be the winning bidder on this tremendous example.
Estimate: $20000 - $30000
