Your coin falls within the tolerance dictated by the Royal Mint. Aussie sovereigns had some minor issues, but were within the tolerance levels. I...
I haven’t seen any auction sales on the 1892 S. I am waiting on my copy of the W&R book on patterns that might include mention of it. I’m sure you...

Are you a sovereign collector? If so, how? (Date, mint, monarch, type; proof or business strike) The Iverson/Hill book (more of a catalog) on the...
I looked in Spinks = 5001. So there was probably a printing error in one of them (Marsh or Spinks). You will find printing errors in both, if you...
