1891 Melbourne Sovereign - PCGS MS62+

Australia, 1891 Melbourne Sovereign -

McD 183a. This is a very attractive example of this scarcer date. Many collectors would call the coin “Choice UNC”, which has a catalogue value of $3,350 in McDonald (2013). Overall, the coin has great eye appeal and would suit a premium Jubilee head sovereign collection. Catalogues £2,000 in Spink in UNC (2013), although it appears that the authors have got the long tail and short tail varieties mixed up (the long tail is the more common type). The Spink has a catalogue value of £1,250 for the short tail variety in UNC.
