1922 Melbourne Sovereign - PCGS MS63

Australia, 1922 Melbourne Sovereign -

There are a number of scarcer dates in the second half of the George V series. You have the famous 1920-S and 1926-S, of course, but there are also the more affordable rarities such as the 1920-M and 1922-M. Both dates are tough in Mint State. The 1922-M photographed above is the first of the date that I’ve had in stock in three years, and one of the better examples that I’ve seen on the market generally. Totally original with undulant yellow lustre, this piece is a good stepping stone for a sovereign collector looking to take their first leap into the “big end” of town but doesn’t yet want to spend, say, $50,000 on a 1922-S or 1926-S sovereign. From an old Belgian collection and acquired in London.
