1902 Two Pound PCGS MS64
There are two versions of 1902 two pounds. You have the proof version, which was made for the 1902 Coronation proof sets, and the currency issue, which was nominally made for circulation. While proofs are generally scarcer than their equivalent currency issues, the 1902 two pound is an exception. In fact, while I’ve had in stock four proof versions in the last three years and have seen over a dozen for sale across the market, I haven’t sold a single currency issue and have seen only a handful of Mint State versions on the market, all selling strongly. The coin photographed above is the equal second-finest graded by PCGS (November 2013) and one of the hardest nineteenth and twentieth century two pounds to acquire in high Mint State grade. The mintage is only 46,000 pieces, although most examples I’ve seen on the market are circulated or impaired. If you’re looking for a high-grade two pound for your UK gold set, or just want a large gold coin for your collection, this is your coin.
