Victoria gold "Shield" Sovereign 1874-M MS63 NGC, Melbourne mint, KM6. Tied for finest graded by either NGC or PCGS with just one other example, an earlier and scarcer date of this series which almost always exhibits circulation wear. This piece bears full, sparkling mint luster and crisp details even for its choice grade, its color slightly rose-gold indicative of a copper rich alloy. Likely the finest of this type to appear on the market for some time, an opportunity not to be missed by the selective Sovereign collector.
