Selections from the Eric P. Newman Collection of World Coins. Victoria gold Shield Sovereign 1857, KM736.1, AU58 NGC. Struck in bright yellow gold. The trivial loss visible in Victoria's hair curls defines the grade. The reverse is particularly attractive on this example, and if graded separately from the obverse, would approach the Gem level. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $350 in VF, $375 in EF, $650 in UNC.
Estimate: 400-500 USD
