1924 Sydney Sovereign - PCGS MS64

Australia, 1924 Sydney Sovereign -

As a date, 1924-S sovereign is scarce and one of the hardest dates in the George V series (after the “big six”: 1920-S, 1921-M, 1922-S, 1922-M, 1923-S, and 1926-S). Combine that scarcity with a high grade and what you have is a genuinely exclusive coin. This coin here, photographed above, is the equal-second finest example of this scarce date currently graded by PCGS (4/15), and one of the nicest rare-date George V sovereigns I’ve seen for some time. If you’re a sovereign collector focusing on quality, you’ll need this coin.
