1885 Melbourne St George Reverse Sovereign - PCGS MS61

Australia, 1885 Melbourne St George Reverse Sovereign -

S-3857B, with WW initials buried in truncation and BP initials present on reverse. A rare young head variety that I’ve handled only four or five times since 2007. This example, graded PCGS MS61, is the finest I’ve offered and the equal-finest example graded by PCGS (7/19). If you collect sovereign varieties, this is an essential coin.
