1929 Melbourne Sovereign PCGS MS62
A very underrated date, and much scarcer than the 1928 Melbourne, to which it is often compared. According to my records, I’ve had only two Mint State 1929 Melbournes in stock since 2007 (graded PCGS MS61 and PCGS MS63). Both coins sold quickly. The coin I have here, graded PCGS MS62, was acquired over coffee from a long-time collector in London, who had kept it in his collection for a number of years. It was originally purchased from Baldwin’s. Overall, it’s one of the nicer 1929 Melbourne sovereigns I’ve seen, with clean fields, a great strike, and of course, no wear. Certainly a desirable coin, and definitely a collectable one. Would be described as "Choice UNC" under the Australian grading system. Only one graded finer by PCGS, in MS63 (11/12). Professional Coin Grading Service is the global leader in coin authentication and grading. With over 60 million coins graded and counting, PCGS is trusted by collectors, dealers, and investors to certify authenticity, protect value, and elevate market confidence. This is a direct conversion of the 70-point PCGS grade to a 10-point scale, intended to present the grade in a more intuitive format for newer collectors. It is not our personal opinion or an attempt at regrading the coin to a different standard.
