Victoria gold "Jubilee Head" 1/2 Sovereign 1887-S MS63+ NGC, Sydney mint, KM9. A conditionally challenging issue from the "Jubilee Head" series struck in commemoration of Victoria's 50 anniversary of reign, transitioning from her earlier "Young Head" issues to this more regal and mature bust. Full mint brilliance abounds, projecting skillfully engraved devices on this small planchet towards the viewer. Assigned an advanced Choice Mint State designation coupled with a superlative "plus," we note that only a pair of MS64s rank higher at NGC's census.
