1865 Sydney Mint Sovereign - PCGS MS62

Australia, 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 arguably 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.
