1915 London Shilling PCGS MS65

There aren’t too many Australian coins with a pedigree that goes back decades, so when you find one with an almost unbroken provenance all the way back to the 1940s, it’s clear that someone saw something special in the coin very early on. Such is the case with the coin on offer here, photographed above. The 1915 London shilling is one of the harder dates of the shilling series generally, but this particular example is almost unequalled in terms of quality and eye appeal. It is the second-finest graded by PCGS (5/15), and has been described as “one of the finest known” or “the finest known” on each of the three occasions that this coin has gone on the auction block since the early 1990s. Add to its superior quality the string of famous collections to which this coin once belonged, and you have what is almost a museum piece in terms of quality, value, historical gravitas, and eye appeal. Ex-Benchmark, John Wilson, Osborne, Ray Jewell, and Roy W. Farman Collections. Ex-Spink Noble Sale 42, July 1993, and Noble Sale 87, April 2008. RARE this nice, and one of the finest known.
