<p>[QUOTE="bestgrandpa, post: 6512605, member: 24399"][ATTACH=full]1260295[/ATTACH] Long time since I have posted [ATTACH=full]1260294[/ATTACH] but I follow the posts every day! Recently I purchased this nice 1892 gold 1/2 sovereign on eBay for a reasonable price. It looked like the seller was an antique dealer not a regular coin seller. It was in some old packaging maybe purchased many years ago in a souvenir shop in the UK. When I received it in the mail I was surprised what a nice piece it was so I sent it to PCGS for grading; it came back as a MS62! Details included that there was only 1 population at this grade and only 1 higher. Also was a high shield version where according to an online resource showed that year only 5% were of the high shield variety! I don’t plan on selling this but it seems like I have a rare coin here and cannot find any comparable to determine for insurance value; maybe I’m just dreaming? Would love your opinions as to what I’ve got here![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
