1930 Perth Sovereign PCGS MS63

It’s been a while since I’ve had a 1930-P Sovereign in stock. Over the years, the rarity of the Perth Small Head sovereigns has always been 1) 1929-P the rarest, 2) 1930-P the second rarest, and 3) 1931-P the most common. However, in the last twelve months, the 1930-P Sovereign in Mint State has been harder to find than either of the other two Perths; it has even been harder to acquire than the scarce 1930-M (which has a mintage of 77,588 pieces). In fact, look at the populations on the PCGS population report: As of March 2013, there were twenty-five examples of the 1929-P graded in all grades, seventy-two 1931-Ps, twenty-seven 1931-Ms, and a whopping forty-six 1930-Ms. How many 1930-Ps were graded? Only seventeen! It’s difficult to say what’s going on here, but the 1930 Perth Sovereign appears to be somewhat underrated in the current market. Is it a sleeper? Perhaps, but only time will tell.
