1899 Perth Sovereign PCGS MS62
While the 1899-P sovereign is not exactly a great rarity, it is rated as one of the most popular Perth Mint sovereigns. It is also considered a key date to the Veiled head sovereign series (although the 1893-M is rarer). The date is generally well-struck, but the fields are often quite baggy, while the lustre is subdued. The average PCGS grade of a Mint State coin is 61.5, while the median is 62 (2/21). Coins in PCGS MS63 can be considered rare. General collectors seeking to build a nice date or type set should aim for MS62, or MS61 at the lowest, while connoisseurs should target MS63 or better. 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.
