Sovereign 1880S Inverted A for V in VICTORIA, Marsh 76A, S.3855, GVF/EF with some rim nicks, the reverse lustrous. A classic rarity of the Young Head Sovereign series, we note the Bentley example of this rare type, described as 'Good Extremely Fine with light surfaces marks' realised £7200 hammer price way back in 2013
Sovereign 1908C Satin Proof, Marsh 183, S.3970, EF in an LCGS holder and graded LCGS 60, one of the classic rarities of the entire Sovereign series, always sought after and missing from many advanced Sovereign collections
Two Pounds 1820 LX edge Pattern, Marsh 15.90 grammes, S.3784. Obverse: Laureate head right, Reverse: George and the Dragon, UNC with minor cabinet friction, hairlined in the fields, the reverse with a nick behind the horse's rear legs, portrait and reverse design nicely frosted, retaining much original lustre, one of the classic rarities of the entire English Milled series, very seldom offered in any grade, and missing from all but the most advanced of gold collections. Workers at the mint preparing the Gold Patterns of the Five Pound and Two Pound piece were working through the night when the death of King George III was expected. The coins were literally finished as the King died on 25th January 1820, only 25 pieces of each had been officially ordered, but due to a misunderstanding, a total of 60 Two Pound pieces were produced. A miniscule mintage, all pieces of this type are highly prized

Sovereign 1828 Marsh 13, S.3801, Good Fine with some heavy scuffs on the obverse, an extremely rare issue, rated R4 by Marsh one of the classic key rarities in the entire milled Sovereign series. Our archive database stretching back to 2003 shows that we have only offered one previous example. Note: The mintage for this calendar year is recorded as 386,182 however much of this figure were Sovereigns dated 1827. It was only in December of this year that 1828 Sovereigns started to be minted so the 1828 coins form only a small fraction of this figure
Half Sovereign 1836 the obverse struck from the Sixpence die, this the key date and type rarity for this reign. Marsh 412A, S.3832. The Marsh plate coin.
