1923 Pretoria currency-issue Sovereign PCGS AU58
There are just two rare South African sovereigns, and the 1923-SA currency issue is the rarer one. Struck in limited numbers from a single consignment of gold, the coin is a classic sovereign rarity. It is highly desirable in all grades, and is keenly sought by collectors and investors alike. Just 14 examples have been certified by PCGS (1/25), whilst we have handled just six coins since 2007 (including one impaired coin with filed rims, which was not PCGS graded). By whatever metric you use, the coin is rare. If you’re seeking to add an important sovereign rarity to your collection, or are an investor looking for a coin with encouraging fundamentals, this coin is for you. 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.
