1893 Five Pound

Proof five pound pieces have been immensely popular these last couple of years, and as prices of these rarities have moved higher, Mint State examples have become relatively better value. The example here is from a European source, and is fresh, lustrous, and free from major detracting marks or other faults. If you’ve been chasing a better-grade 1893 five pound piece, but don’t want to pay halfway to $100,000 for a high-grade proof, this is your coin.
