1902 Proof Two Pound

The dies that struck the 1902 proofs were all produced from a sand-blasting process, so all coins struck from those dies exhibit a somewhat subdued (or unattractive, depending on your opinion) matte appearance. This coin is no exception. What you look for in the 1902 proof issues is eveness in colour and appearance, which this coin has in spades. The new owner will be very pleased with this better-than-average 1902 proof.
