1912-S Australia Gold Sovereign PCGS MS63 S-4003 KM-29 #45118813 Description & Comments
This 1912 S Australian Gold Sovereign displays warm yellow-gold color with lively satin luster and slightly deeper honey-gold accents around portions of the devices. King George V\'s portrait is boldly defined, while the reverse delivers a crisp and energetic rendering of Saint George slaying the dragon with a clear date and well-formed border detail.
Certified PCGS MS63, this Choice Mint State Sydney issue offers attractive eye appeal, a balanced strike, and pleasing surfaces for the grade. The historic Sydney Mint origin, classic Mackennal and Pistrucci designs, substantial 22-carat gold content, and handsome certified presentation make it an appealing choice for sovereign specialists, Australian gold collectors, and world gold type sets.
We shot a couple sets with different lighting characteristics but no filtering or doctoring - all natural photos! We did our best to carefully provide the most accurate photos as possible. As sellers, we want to be sure there is no mystery with coin you are buying!!!
Note: We used two TrueView photos from PCGS\' Certification Site for this exact coin.
