1917 Sovereign

There aren’t too many English rarities in the post-Victorian sovereign series. Although some of the Edwards are scarce, most of the Georges are relatively available in grades below MS65. The exception, of course, is the 1917 sovereign, which is rare in any grade and excessively rare in Mint State. The coin photographed above is the first that I’ve had in stock since 2007, and perhaps only the third or fourth example that I’ve seen on the market during that time. Overall, an excessively rare coin, and one of the nicer examples to come onto the market for some time. Equal-third finest graded by PCGS (6/16).
