1884 Melbourne Shield Reverse Sovereign PCGS MS64
All Victorian sovereigns are difficult to obtain in high grade, so when the opportunity to acquire an 1884M shield sovereign in PCGS MS64 presented itself, we were bold with our offer. The coin photographed above is the equal-finest example graded by PCGS (8/22), with just four other coins available in this grade. The strike has depth, the edges are sharp, and the lustre is undulant; most importantly, the fields are clean and free from obtrusive marks, scratches, or hairlines. 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.
