1930 Perth Sovereign

Although typically considered more available than the 1929-P sovereign, the 1930-P sovereign appears with far lower frequency on the market than either the 1929-P and 1931-P sovereigns. In fact, I would say the 1930-P sovereign is more difficult than the 1930-M sovereign in equivalent grade. Both the PCGS Population Report and my own sales records bear this out: PCGS has graded 59 examples of the 1930-M sovereign, but only 31 examples of the 1930-P (7/14). Meanwhile, I have sold nine 1930-M sovereigns since October 2011, but only one 1930-P. This date is scarce, although it seems the market hasn’t cottoned on yet.
