1880 Melbourne St George Reverse Sovereign PCGS MS63
McD159. Take a good look at the photographs above: This is a really nice Young Head – one of the nicest I’ve seen in recent years. It is completely original, with full, undulant lustre, while the fields are generally devoid of marks. Take a look at the strike: The folds of skin on the horse’s neck are visible, while St George’s over-developed shoulder muscles are very clear. And if you take a very close look at just behind the horse’s neck, you can see each of St George’s four fingers and thumb clutching the reins. Condition-wise, it’s graded PCGS MS63, and is the equal-finest graded by PCGS (May 2013). Overall, it’s a great type coin and deserving of a good home.
