1866 Sydney Mint Sovereign - PCGS MS63

Australia, 1866 Sydney Mint Sovereign -

The finest Sydney Mint sovereign I’ve seen in the last five years, and one of only two 1866 Sydney Mint sovereigns graded MS63 by PCGS (May 2013). Despite PCGS having graded over 500 1866 Sydney Mint sovereigns and almost 1,300 Sydney Mint sovereigns overall, none have been graded MS64 or finer and only four have graded MS63. This places the above sovereign in the top 0.4% of 1866 Sydney Mint sovereigns and top 0.3% of Sydney Mint sovereigns graded by PCGS overall. RARE this nice.
