1926 Melbourne Sovereign PCGS MS62
Like the 1923-M sovereign and 1924-M sovereign, the 1926-M sovereign has a low mintage. With only 211,107 pieces struck (the third lowest mintage of any Melbourne-minted sovereign and the lowest across the George V large head sovereign run), the coin does appear to be scarcer than your typical George V sovereign, say the 1915-M sovereign, for example. Despite its low mintage, it’s tremendously affordable at the moment. (Compare the price of the coin photographed above to the price of the 1928-M sovereign, which has a mintage of almost twice the 1926-M yet trades as over five times the price in comparable grade.) Could the 1926-M sovereign be a sleeper? Professional Coin Grading Service is the global leader in coin authentication and grading.
