Description

Victoria gold Sovereign 1870-SYDNEY MS64 NGC, Sydney mint, KM4, Fr-10. The last time an example of this particular date of the beloved Sydney Sovereign series was offered by Heritage in a near-Gem assignment was over 10 years ago; coincidentally, that piece also possessed an S.M. Damon Collection pedigree, though different coins. It is a rare treat to encounter this series beyond the Choice Mint State preservation tier.
