1911 Proof Five Pound PCGS PR64CAM
There’s nothing like looking at a large gold coin to whet the senses. Also known as a quintuple sovereign, the English five pound is one of the most impressive and beautiful gold coins in the world, in my opinion. The 1911 five pound photographed above is no exception. Rarer than the 1902 proof five pound and with a mintage of only 2,812 pieces, the 1911 five pound is not a coin I often get in stock. In fact, this is the first one I’ve listed on the website since the launch of the website in 2007. The coin itself is beautiful, with minimum marks and faults in the fields and the design. There are light die polishing hairlines on both ‘verses, which is typical of the type. The fields are highly reflective and the “CAM” designation (which stands for “cameo”) is well-deserved. Overall, the coin is one of the nicest pre-1937 proof five pounds I’ve seen on the market in some time and is very scarce this nice.
