1885 Melbourne St George Reverse Sovereign PCGS MS61
S-3857B, with WW initials buried in truncation and BP initials present on reverse. A rare young head variety that I’ve handled only four or five times since 2007. This example, graded PCGS MS61, is the finest I’ve offered and the equal-finest example graded by PCGS (7/19). If you collect sovereign varieties, this is an essential coin. 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.
