<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 7812436, member: 101855&quot;]Here is a 1902 British Proof set that was issued for the coronation of Edward VII. This is the &quot;short set&quot; which did not include the 2 and 5 pound gold coins. I have an very nice Edward VII Matte Proof two pound coin, but I&#039;ve been blown out of the water when I tried to buy 5 pound piece in decent condition (at least PR-63) at auction. Many of them have been cleaned. The five pound pieces are &quot;trophy coins&quot; for many people who are wealthy, but not heavily committed as collectors. </p><p><br /></p><p>These are Matte Proofs, so they might not be pleasing to the modern eye.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1342383[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1342384[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The dealer&#039;s composite picture of the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1342386[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
