1918 India Sovereign - PCGS MS65

India, 1918 India Sovereign -

1918 India sovereigns are generally common in lower grades, but in MS65, it’s an entirely different story. Equal-finest graded with PCGS (4/14), the coin photographed above is one of the nicest 1918 India sovereigns I’ve seen in the last seven years. The fields are smooth, the strike is bold, and the overall appearance of the coin is superior to many Australian sovereigns in equivalent grade. In the last few months, there has been renewed interest in the 1918-I sovereign, and I get the feeling that the new 2013-I sovereign, issued late last year, may be the cause: It is now possible to build an Indian sovereign set! Overall, if you’re looking for a superior example of this popular colonial issue, this is your coin.
