1887 Proof Sovereign

S-3866B, with second obverse where the tip of the crown just touches the denticles. Mintage 797 pieces. As prices for better-grade proof sovereigns rise, the lesser coins become relatively more sought after, especially in a popular series like the sovereign. The coin photographed above is thoroughly collectable, with only light die-polish in the fields to mar otherwise deep, full-bodied, pooling cameo.
