1856 Sydney Mint Sovereign PCGS AU55
Type I Sydney Mint sovereigns have been very popular with collectors in the last one or two years. The coins, Australia’s first official gold coins, are difficult to obtain in all grades, with examples in AU55 or finer considered “connoisseur” or “investment grade” coins. 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.
