India, 1918 Bombay Sovereign -
When the Royal Mint branch in Sydney minted its first sovereign in 1855, it started a trend that lasted over three-quarters of a century. Official British Empire sovereigns were being minted in places as far afield as Canada and South Africa. India was also the birth place of over a million sovereigns. Each bears the bold “I” mintmark above the exergue, indicating its place of manufacture. Sadly for collectors, the Bombay mint only produced sovereigns for one year, in 1918, meaning that today the coins are widely collected by date, mint, and monarch collectors. Over a thousand coins have been certified by PCGS, but because any sovereign collector seeking to acquire an Indian sovereign must find a 1918, the date is not that easy to find in grade. Coins in PCGS MS64 are collectable, while coins in PCGS MS65 are scarce.
