Victoria gold "Shield" Sovereign 1881-M MS63 PCGS, Melbourne mint, KM6, S-3854A. An exceptional survivor of this already challenging date, the surfaces glowing from delicate reflectivity, while the raised motifs are rendered sharply and remain almost entirely void of marks that enter the surfaces. Quite certainly among the finest extant of the date, with a search for other exceptional survivors failing to produce an example as lovely as the present. As the single finest example graded by PCGS, a coin destined to attract even more attention.From the Collinson Collection of Australian Sovereign PCGS Registry Sets
