Watch List notes:

Sovereign 1888 Obverse 1, G: of D:G: further from the crown S.3866, DISH L8. Good Fine/NVF, Extremely Rare. David Iverson's excellent reference book 'The Jubilee Head Gold Sovereign 1887-1893' estimates that 'a fraction of 1%' of the 1888 London output used this obverse die, and assigned a rarity of R5 to this type. (only 5-10 examples estimated to survive). We note that there was no example in the Bentley Collection. Our archive database stretching back to 2003 shows that we have not previously offered this type

Estimate: 750-1500 GBP
