1937 Proof Five Pound PCGS PR65
In 1937, the Royal Mint issued 5,001 gold coin sets to commemorate the coronation of King George VI. Each gold set contained a proof £5, £2, sovereign, and half sovereign, all displayed in a plush leatherette presentation case. The £5 is the largest of the four coins, and the most impressive. The example here is in superior condition, with glossy, cameo fields, and great eye appeal. It is graded PR65 by PCGS—which is the second-highest grade in which this rarity is available—and is bettered only by four coins, all graded PCGS PR66. There are none in PR66+ or finer. Overall, very scarce and desirable this nice. Professional Coin Grading Service is the global leader in coin authentication and grading. With over 60 million coins graded and counting, PCGS is trusted by collectors, dealers, and investors to certify authenticity, protect value, and elevate market confidence. This is a direct conversion of the 70-point PCGS grade to a 10-point scale, intended to present the grade in a more intuitive format for newer collectors. It is not our personal opinion or an attempt at regrading the coin to a different standard.
