1857 Sydney Mint Sovereign PCGS AU58
It’s been a while since we’ve had the privilege of offering a high-grade early Sydney Mint sovereign. While coins minted after 1860 are generally easy to obtain, earlier dates with lustre have proven to be elusive. The present coin, an 1857, is one of the nicest early Sydney Mints we’ve handled in recent times, and is superior to most of the circulated Sydney Mint sovereigns currently available on the market. Ex-Edward Cummings collection, dispersed in 2017. 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.
