English Coins : Auction 169 : Lot 1912

Date Sold	Category	Lot	Description	Sale Price
07/06/2020 Auction 169	English Coins	Lot 1912	Sovereign 1891S an unlisted type, Obverse with the first type legend with D:G: further from the crown, Reverse: Horse with long tail. NEF/EF with some contact marks and small rim nicks. Previously it had been thought that all 1891S Sovereigns were of the second legend type. This type unlisted by Spink, Marsh, McDonald and even the specialist DISH catalogue. According to David Iverson in his excellent publication 'The Jubilee Head Gold Sovereign 1887-1893' there are a small number of 1889S Sovereigns with the first legend (around 3% to 5% estimated.) this number decreases still further for the 1890S Sovereign (around 1% estimated). The discovery of this coin therefore updates the footnote in the Bentley Catalogue (Lot 706) where it is stated that all 1891S Sovereigns have the second obverse legend. An important coin in this fascinating series and sure to be of great interest to the Specialist Victoria Gold collector More coins like this	£3,600
