Victoria gold 1/2 Sovereign 1887-M AU58 PCGS, Melbourne mint, KM5, S-3863B. A welcome occasion on the market in the low-mintage Young Head type, in particular when approaching Mint State preservation. The selection at hand admits mild wisps to fields and a scrape behind the Queen's bust, redeemed by the mint brilliance teeming in the protected areas. Currently bested by just two MS61 graded pieces at PCGS. Privately purchased from Jaggard's in Sydney, Australia; accompanied by their flip. From the James D. Wolfensohn Collection of Australian Sovereigns HID09801242017 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
