1903 Sydney Sovereign

If you’re a silver or copper coin collector, PCGS MS63 might sound like an average grade. But sovereign collectors know that Edward VII sovereigns in PCGS MS63 are really tough. Think of it this way: The highest grade in which some Commonwealth coins can be acquired is MS66 or MS67, depending on the date. The highest-graded currency issue Edward VII sovereign (across the British Empire) is still only graded MS64. I think that speaks volumes about how tough Edward VII sovereigns are to acquire even in so-called “low” grades such as MS63.
