Description
Great Britain Victoria gold Proof 2 Pounds 1893 PR64 DCAM PCGS , KM786, S-3873. Almost of Gem status and visually stunning, this popular Proof shows fields devoid of seemingly any contact marks whatsoever, and such a level of frost to the devices that it appears cheated of 'DCAM' designation. Every detail of Victoria's portrait is boldly rendered, from her diamond and sapphire tiara, the Lahore diamond at her neck, and her Star of the Order of the Thistle; indeed there is seemingly no break to the undulating matte surface of the Queen's depiction whatsoever. To the cataloguer, this captivating offering appears higher quality than the certified grade implies, and deserves in-hand examination for true appreciation of its splendor.
