1879 Sydney St George Reverse Sovereign

S-3858A. The 1879-S St George reverse sovereign has always been one of the harder dates of the St George young head series. It is rare in Mint State, scarce in lesser grades, and always collectable. This coin is from an original European hoard, is fresh, undipped, and uncleaned. As is expected of a hoard coin, there is coin cabinet friction on the high points and original virgin lustre in the devices and legend.
