Lot 1312
Great Britain. 5 Pounds, 1887. Victoria Jubilee Head. S-3864; Fr-390; KM-769. Dr Terner occasionally verged away from his main collecting focus of the smaller gold coins mainly out of curiosity (and a lack of coins to purchase). He acquired three examples of the largest Jubilee gold coins. One was the glassy-surfaced Gem sold in the first sale a year ago, which realized $3,680. Another was the other coin in this sale, having a prooflike obverse. The third is this beautiful, totally original specimen, which exhibits a rarely seen satiny frost in its luster on both sides and has almost no abrasions. There is a strike-through (caused by a piece of lint on the die) on the reverse near the rim at about 2 o'clock. Gem Uncirculated. PCGS graded MS-65.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,250.
