1915 Perth Ms64. The rarest (?) Perth date in an excellent grade

Following on from my post on 1916 Melbourne, an unappreciated rarity, this post continues in the same theme but via George V Perth mint. There are those who exalt other Perth George V dates as being rare or scarce. 1926/1930 according to Marsh as rare dates or 1916/17/25/27/28/29/31 as scarcer dates. However on current data in Pcgs population report, 1915 has the fewest graded examples. The 1915-P below was one I hadn’t sought out but ‘found’ by accident, a rare year and 2nd highest grade, I think I picked up a bargain. I’d be interested amongst the Australian collectors if they were able to give me a sense of where the market price on this Perth full sovereign might be, as I haven’t come across this year & grade going through sales.

Thanks for reading & for any comments.

Very nice coin, the last few at this grade look like they went for ~500CHF with MS62/MS63 going for a bit less (350-450).

Heritage did have two this year at MS64 which went for $1200-$1400 but looking at all the other prices these buyers seem to have overpaid! I guess they wanted one in a PCGS holder.

Received today, the new 2021 1/10th Oz Britannia with the new security features and although small, the detailing is very impressive.

Picked up two Bulgarian 5 Leva coins from 1894 and one Romanuan 5 Lei from 1883. With these three crown sized coins we are stepping away from Junk silver into more premium priced silver coins.

The last of the outstanding VAT free Euro orders are starting to trundle in for me - will be a shame when that avenue closes!

Thought I may be the first to post one these little monkeys (well lions) but looks like @PapaLazarou got there before me (and for the 'roo at sunset' image I was going to use when I joined ).

All the way from Cardiff to 30 miles over the border via Poland!

WOW! Beauty! What did customs charge you to bring that in? They are a law unto themselves.

No charges, they are pretty useless though when it comes to these coins.

She is a beauty for sure. I did have the MS65 top grade but this had just been graded in the US & I stumbled across it. This is the Single Finest now. Compared to the 65, the obverse is slighlty more detailed & lusterous. The reverse is slightly less detailed on certain points but the luster is amazing.

66 is left & 65 right.
