Victoria gold "Shield" Sovereign 1883-M MS63+ NGC, Melbourne mint, KM6, S-3854A. The single second highest certified example of this date rarity, the finest just half a grade higher (MS64 NGC). Clearly premium even for its impressive grade, this offering exhibits gorgeous sleek surfaces essentially free from any marks or hairlines, soft satiny luster across the entire sharply-struck planchet. Scarcely contested for technical quality and surely unbeatable for visual appeal. The last example of this type we handled was graded MS62 and realized $2,880 in our April 2019 sale.
