1918 Perth Half Sovereign

The 1918P half sovereign continues to be one of the most coveted dates across the half sovereign series. Seldom available on the market, especially in mint state, the coin was minted in large numbers before being exported to India and melted. Today, only a few hundred examples trade the market, with many being worn, damaged, and cleaned. The coin photographed above is from an old Perth collection, and is suitable for collectors seeking to obtain this rare date in Mint State for under $10,000.
