1822 Sovereign PCGS MS66
All pre-1931 sovereigns are rare in PCGS MS66, even the late George V issues, so when I got the grading result for the coin photographed above, I didn’t have to look at the PCGS Population report to tell that it was a good coin. Visually, the coin has satin-smooth fields, full cartwheel lustre, and one of the best reverse strikes I’ve ever seen. Indeed, I have never seen St George with such high cheekbones or muscular quadriceps. Overall, an 1822 sovereign in this grade is a true rarity, with only a handful of sovereigns across the entire sovereign range (1817 - 1931) available in this state of preservation. RARE.
