1856 Sydney Mint Half Sovereign PCGS AU58
An original coin, with an abundance of lustre on both ‘verses, this 1856 Sydney Mint half sovereign is an ideal addition to a high-grade half sovereign type or year set. Only the lightest hints of circulation touch the high points of the obverse, while light abrasions mar otherwise problem-free fields. Very scarce in this grade, and bettered by only four coins (1/26). 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.
