Description:

Victoria (First Head)

    Notes:
  • About Uncirculated and the highest Third -party graded example. The holy grail of the Australian Gold series is a problem free 1855 Sydney Mint Half Sovereign in a respectable grade. Of the 21,000 coins struck it is estimated that less than fifty have survived, and most turn up damaged or in very poor condition. It is rare to sight an example in better than Fine condition, and this coin which has been graded by PCGS as AU50 is probably the second or third finest known. The eponymous 'Quartermaster' coin which sold for $305,950 in June 2009 was itself catalogued as in about Uncirculated condition and is its closest rival.
  • Condition:
  • PCGS AU50
