Victoria gold Sovereign 1855-SYDNEY VF35 NGC, Sydney mint, KM2. The key first date of the Sydney Sovereign series. Not all VF coins bear identical appearances; although the circulation wear may be comparable, the eye appeal can vary significantly. This piece is clearly on the upper end of this spectrum, with immensely strong visual allure. Victoria's portrait is sharply represented and comparatively well-preserved, the planchet a decadent aged-gold in color and bearing residual mint luster. An offering highly in demand for its evident high quality.
