I'm not surprised. PCGS can be very liberal especially compared to British grading. I still believe it's AU.
What did PCGS grade it? Grading off photographs vs grading in hand are two different animals. If PCGS graded the sovereign AU 55-58, 430 Euros...
It's hard to grade off of photos, but my first impression is that you did well. I do not have an example of a GB 71 StG to compare it to - that is...
I tend to lean towards 55-58, PCGS is a bit lenient in their grades. I think 7 jags nailed it however describing the obverse.
True, but why give them your money? Every one of us that don't means less for them. Even in insignificant numbers. They are pusedo monopolies now...

Very nice album and coins.

Treasuries useally were paid debts from other countries in their currency. The treasuries would usually melt them down and re-coin them. Sometimes...
Thanks for the clarification John. This sounds like part of the Confedate treasury (Curse of the Civil War Gold - or something like that). This...
Wrong forum
I'm referring to a 5£ sovereign when I mentioned timing. Most would have been melted down and they would have been from Geroge III and IV reign...
That and Una and the Lion. As far as OP's post. A 5£ would be suspious considering the timing and when they were minted. $5, based on the price...
Not sure what you are describing. A sovereign worth $5 at the time or a 5£ sovereign. The timing is suspious also.
I know what you mean about Australian sovereigns. I've found that prices are up (for quality) and quality offerings are down. I have really...
