1885 Sydney Shield Reverse Sovereign PCGS MS63
The 1885-S shield sovereign might be a common date, but in PCGS MS63, it’s tough. The type is difficult to source without bag marks and this date in particular is known in better grade by only one coin, an MS64; there are only two others in MS63 (10/14). If you’re looking for a type coin for your type set or a high-grade shield sovereign for your date set, this is your coin. From a Hills Shire collection, north-west of Sydney.
