Victoria gold Sovereign 1897-M MS65+ S NGC, Melbourne mint, KM13, S-3875, Marsh-157. Not a scarce date/mint combination and admittedly the "Veiled Head" sovereigns saw less circulation than their predecessors, but even after all that said the present cataloger is in awe with this stunning specimen bestowed with both "plus" and "star" superlatives. Currently the sole finest certified out of 633 pieces across the board and hands down the nicest we have ever had the pleasure of handling, this Gem boasts flashy open expanses contrasting with the golden frost carefully laid on the raised motifs. Marks around the horse's tail preclude even loftier designations, nonetheless this would be an outstanding type coin to any Australian Sovereign collection.
