1887 Sydney Jubilee Head Sovereign PCGS MS62
S-3868A, with small spread JEB initials on obverse.The 1887 Sydney sovereign is the key date to the Jubilee head set, and, like the rest of the series, is notoriously prone to bag marking, scratches, and handling. The present coin was sourced locally out of Sydney, and has pleasantly (and atypically) clear fields; in fact, at first blush, the coin has the appearance of an MS63. Indeed, it’s the nicest example we’ve handled since May 2021. If you are looking for an 1887 Sydney Jubilee head sovereign for your type or date set, this is your coin.
