AUSTRALIA. Sovereign, 1879-S. NGC AU-55.
Fr-15; KM-7; Mc-156. For the date, the much better "Saint George" reverse, and quite SCARCE in this CHOICE ALMOST UNCIRCULATED condition. A date that catalogs for $575 in (Very Fine) and leaps to $8,000 in (Uncirculated) in the Rinniks catalog. Clearly a date that saw very heavy use in commerce, with very few surviving with original mint luster still intact like the example presented here. Free of major marks and with modest wear for the assigned grade. NGC AU-55.
Estimate: $350.00- $500.00
