1859 Sydney Mint Sovereign - PCGS AU58

Australia, 1859 Sydney Mint Sovereign -

This 1859 Sydney Mint sovereign is a real screamer. Full lustre, great eye appeal, and only lightly touched on the high points, the new owner of this coin will be very impressed. When I bought the coin, it was uncertified and was presented in a small cardboard holder from a large Sydney dealer. The original grade? Uncirculated. And the price? $17,000 (yes, you read that correctly). If you’re looking for a superior grade 1859 Sydney Mint sovereign—without breaking the bank—this is your coin. Catalogues $2,000 in Extremely Fine and $8,100 in about Uncirculated. Scarce this nice.
