Victoria AV Sovereign 1872, 65 over 64

Great Britain. Victoria (1837-1901). AV Sovereign 1872 (7.95 g), shield type. WW in relief, die number 65, the 5 struck over a 4.
Bentley 599; Marsh 56; S. 3853B.

Very fine.

Overdates in the die number series are almost non-existent due the high quality control in the mint. The Bentley specimen (albeit in higher grade), sold for £ 1300 (+ fees).
