Latest Arrivals

1921 Sydney Sovereign - Scarce, particularly in this grade. Catalogues $4,500 in UNC and $5,800 in Choice UNC. PCGS MS63 $4,950 1906 Melbourne Half Sovereign - One of the key dates of the Edward VII half sovereign run. Scarce generally, but RARE in Mint State. Equal second-finest graded by PCGS. Catalogues $9,750 in UNC and $14,500 in Choice UNC. PCGS MS62 $8,500
Great Britain, 1966 Sovereign PCGS MS64 $525 Great Britain, 1957 Sovereign - A great type coin with lots of eye appeal. PCGS MS64+ $525
1865 Sydney Mint Sovereign - An outstanding example of this scarcer date. Totally original, with full lustre, clean fields, and great eye appeal, this specimen is one of the nicest 1865 Sydney Mints I’ve seen in the last five years – and one of the nicest Sydney Mints I’ve seen overall. This example is arguable superior to the example in the Quartermaster Collection (that coin was graded “Choice UNC” and realised $20,572), and is one of the few Mint State 1865 Sydney Mint Sovereigns to appear on the market in the last few years. From the Jerome Remick Collection, auctioned 18 October 2006, and the single finest graded by PCGS (May 2012). RARE. Catalogues $15,000 in UNC and $26,000 in Choice UNC. PCGS MS62 $9,500 1902 Sydney Half Sovereign - Surprisingly difficult to source. Very scarce this nice, with only six examples graded Mint State by PCGS. Equal-finest graded by PCGS. PCGS MS63 $2,250

Rarities

1865 Sydney Mint Sovereign - An outstanding example of this scarcer date. Totally original, with full lustre, clean fields, and great eye appeal, this specimen is one of the nicest 1865 Sydney Mints I’ve seen in the last five years – and one of the nicest Sydney Mints I’ve seen overall. This example is arguable superior to the example in the Quartermaster Collection (that coin was graded “Choice UNC” and realised $20,572), and is one of the few Mint State 1865 Sydney Mint Sovereigns to appear on the market in the last few years. From the Jerome Remick Collection, auctioned 18 October 2006, and the single finest graded by PCGS (May 2012). RARE. Catalogues $15,000 in UNC and $26,000 in Choice UNC. PCGS MS62 $9,500 1880 Sydney Shield Reverse Sovereign Inverted A - Scarce "inverted A" error. Catalogues $8,800 in Very Fine and $12,500 in Extremely Fine. PCGS AU53 $9,500
1880 Sydney Shield Reverse Sovereign Inverted A - Scarce "inverted A" error. Catalogues $3,800 in Fine and $8,800 in Very Fine. PCGS AU50 $5,250 1918 Perth Half Sovereign - The 1918 Perth Half Sovereign is the key coin of the George V half sovereign series and one of the key dates of the half sovereign series overall. This piece is particularly well-struck, with only slight flatness on the rider’s chest, while the horse’s reins are sharp and clear. The obverse has light field marks consistent with a coin in PCGS MS62, while die-polishing marks are evident on the reverse under a glass. This is one of only a handful of Mint State 1918 Perth half sovereigns we’ve had in stock over the last few years, and is a great type piece for a half sovereign set. Certainly a key rarity for a half sovereign collection, and VERY RARE in this state of preservation. PCGS MS62 $9,500
1946 Melbourne Penny - The key date of the George VI series, and particularly scarce this nice. Great eye appeal, minimal bagging, and lots of residual brilliance. Catalogues $8,000 in Choice UNC and $15,000 in Gem UNC. PCGS MS63+RB $5,250 1955 Perth Proof Penny and Halfpenny - A superb pair of the popular 1955 Perth proofs. Both coins exhibit full brilliance and mint red, and the design is fully struck up and bold. The pair has earned the coveted Red designation, which is difficult to get on early Perth proofs. As is normal on the 1955 and 1956 Perth proofs, the surfaces exhibit raised hairlines, which is evidence that the dies used to produce these coins were polished before striking. (It is also known that the early Perth proofs were polished by coiners at the mint shortly after manufacture, creating a crosshatching pattern on the surfaces of most early Perth proofs.) For this reason, PCGS has awarded the pair lower grades: PR61RD for the penny and PR60RD for the halfpenny. This is typical for early Perth proofs, with the highest 1955 or 1956 Perth proof graded at only PR64RD. In any case, the pair is as good as collectors can reasonably expect for early Perth proofs, and both coins would rate as “FDC” under the Australian grading standard. To top it off, only 301 pairs were minted, making the 1955 Perth penny and halfpenny the rarest of the post-55 commercial proofs available to collectors today. This is the first full red pair we have had in stock in the last two years, and, in our view, may perform well in the medium to long-term. RARE. PCGS PR60RD - PR61RD $22,500
2000 One Dollar Mule with Ten Cent Obverse - An above-average example of this popular decimal error that was recovered from the Burswood Casino on 2nd September 2004. This coin has original, full mint bloom, and is very scarce this nice. Catalogues $3,750 in Extremely Fine and $6,000 in UNC. Unpriced in Choice UNC. PCGS AU58 $3,250

This particular example comes with a contemporary leatherette display case issued by the Fishmongers' Company to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the accession of Queen Victoria. The coin has a low mintage of 91,000 pieces, and is scarce this nice. PCGS MS64 $2,250 Great Britain, 1893 Two Pound - A scarce coin in Mint State, with very few sightings each year in this grade.

Great Britain, 1914 Sovereign PCGS MS63+ $550 Great Britain, 1916 Sovereign - Some time after 1916, the US central bank received a large number of 1916 sovereigns as payment from the UK government for services related to WWI. After 1933, when the US went off the gold standard, all gold held by the US government was barred. Many collectors believe that this is how a large quantity of 1916 sovereigns met their fate. Today, the 1916 sovereign is relatively scarce and very difficult to source. An underrated date, in our view. PCGS MS63 $850
Great Britain, 1925 Sovereign - Nice grade. A great type coin. Probably one of the restrikes from 1949 - 1951. PCGS MS65 $495 Great Britain, 1957 Sovereign - A great type coin with lots of eye appeal. PCGS MS64+ $525

Half Sovereigns

1902 Sydney Half Sovereign - Surprisingly difficult to source. Very scarce this nice, with only six examples graded Mint State by PCGS. Equal-finest graded by PCGS. PCGS MS63 $2,250 1902 Sydney Half Sovereign - Very scarce this nice, with only six examples graded Mint State by PCGS. PCGS MS62 $1,450

1915 Sydney Half Sovereign - Reasonably difficult to source in this grade. In January 2012, a 1915 Sydney Half Sovereign PCGS MS65+ sold for US$632.50 (including buyer's premium) at a US auction. Scarce this nice. PCGS MS65 $425 1918 Perth Half Sovereign - The 1918 Perth Half Sovereign is the key coin of the George V half sovereign series and one of the key dates of the half sovereign series overall. This piece is particularly well-struck, with only slight flatness on the rider’s chest, while the horse’s reins are sharp and clear. The obverse has light field marks consistent with a coin in PCGS MS62, while die-polishing marks are evident on the reverse under a glass. This is one of only a handful of Mint State 1918 Perth half sovereigns we’ve had in stock over the last few years, and is a great type piece for a half sovereign set. Certainly a key rarity for a half sovereign collection, and VERY RARE in this state of preservation. PCGS MS62 $9,500
1918 Perth Half Sovereign - The 1918 Perth Half Sovereign is the key coin of the George V half sovereign series and one of the key dates of the half sovereign series overall. This piece is very well-struck: The rider’s calf is almost fully struck, while the reins are sharp and clear. The obverse has light field marks consistent with a coin that has circulated for only a short time. This particular coin was acquired from a collector who allegedly obtained the coin from “an Indian contact” in the sixties. It is generally accepted within numismatic circles that most, if not all, 1918 Perth Half Sovereigns were sourced from India, so if the collector’s claims are true, this example is fresh and has never been onto the Australian numismatic market. The 1918 Perth Half Sovereign is RARE in any grade, with fewer than 200 pieces believed to be in existence. PCGS AU58 $6,500 Great Britain, 1893 Veiled Head Proof Half Sovereign - A scarce coin with only 773 pieces minted (and few surviving). This piece grades PCGS PR61 Deep Cameo. Minor bagging on surfaces, but otherwise an attractive coin and a great example of a 118 year-old proof coin. Very scarce. PCGS PR61DCAM SOLD

Pre-decimal Proofs

1955 Perth Proof Penny and Halfpenny - A superb pair of the popular 1955 Perth proofs. Both coins exhibit full brilliance and mint red, and the design is fully struck up and bold. The pair has earned the coveted Red designation, which is difficult to get on early Perth proofs. As is normal on the 1955 and 1956 Perth proofs, the surfaces exhibit raised hairlines, which is evidence that the dies used to produce these coins were polished before striking. (It is also known that the early Perth proofs were polished by coiners at the mint shortly after manufacture, creating a crosshatching pattern on the surfaces of most early Perth proofs.) For this reason, PCGS has awarded the pair lower grades: PR61RD for the penny and PR60RD for the halfpenny. This is typical for early Perth proofs, with the highest 1955 or 1956 Perth proof graded at only PR64RD. In any case, the pair is as good as collectors can reasonably expect for early Perth proofs, and both coins would rate as “FDC” under the Australian grading standard. To top it off, only 301 pairs were minted, making the 1955 Perth penny and halfpenny the rarest of the post-55 commercial proofs available to collectors today. This is the first full red pair we have had in stock in the last two years, and, in our view, may perform well in the medium to long-term. RARE.
