Victoria gold "Shield" Sovereign 1880-S AU55 NGC, Sydney mint, KM6. Inverted "A". Showing evidence of mild circulation, as well as faint handling marks across the surfaces, this scarce variety contains an inverted "A" as the "V" in Victoria. A similarly detailed example of the type recently hammered for £3400 in a May 2015 St. James auction.
Estimate: 2000-2500 USD
