1868 Sydney Mint Sovereign PCGS MS62
A well-struck example of this date, which doesn’t appear to be as common as the catalogues suggest. This is the first 1868 Sydney Mint sovereign that I’ve handled in PCGS MS62 since 2007, and one of the better examples overall that I’ve listed on the site. The coin appears to have been buried at some point, with oxidation in between the devices and legends. There are very light hairlines in the fields, possibly associated with coin conservation, but overall the appearance is pleasing and original. Scarce in this grade. 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.
