Victoria gold Sovereign 1897-S MS63+ PCGS, Sydney mint, KM13. The single highest graded specimen of this year-mint combination by NGC or PCGS; the planchet a vivid canary-yellow with a perfect coverage of cartwheel luster, the strike extremely sharp, only the lightest hairlines in the fields defining the grade (yet still far less numerous than usual for this type). Surely one of the most appealing available to commerce, and unmatched for technical quality. From the Caranett Collection of Sovereigns - #1 PCGS Registry Sets
