What will it sell for

[Thomast]

What could possibly be one of the rarest sovereigns made during the late queens reign 

what does everyone think this will sell for?

personally I think £35,000-£40,000

1959 Gold Sovereign Specimen Ex. Bentley Single Finest PCGS SP67
 

UNITED KINGDOM. Elizabeth II, 1952-2022.
Gold sovereign, 1959. Royal Mint. Specimen.
First, laureate head of Elizabeth II facing right; ELIZABETH . II . DEI . GRATIA . REGINA . F: 😧 +. Design by Mary Gillick. / St. George on horseback rearing right, dragon below, date and B.P. in exergue. Design by Benedetto Pistrucci. Edge milled.
Ex. Bentley Collection, lot 370 (May 2012), there described as 'struck with a more uniform and textured matt finish... As struck and unrecorded as a specimen, of the highest rarity.' Only 5 specimen Gillick sovereigns have sold in the last 20 years (of all dates), far less than the 20 auction results we found of the proof version. The Specimen Gillick sovereign is hence much rarer than the proof version. The specimen offered here is superior to other specimen Gillick sovereigns, including one which sold in auction in London in 2022, which was also graded Specimen-67 (NGC). We note that a regular example, a 1967-dated Gillick sovereign graded MS-67 sold in The Coin Cabinet auction #92 (lot 26) with a hammer of £13,000 only a few months ago, showing the strength of this series recently due to international demand.
In secure plastic holder, graded PCGS SP67 , certification number 47169293.

PCGS population in this grade: 1, single finest graded.
Reference: S-4125; KM-908; F-271
Diameter: 22.05 mm
Thickness: 1.52 mm.
Weight: 7.9881 g. (AGW=0.2355 oz.)
Composition: 917.0/1000 Gold.

 

Certainly don't see them turn up every day.  Some nice items in that sale

I saw @drakesterling selling a PF69 Gillick couple of weeks ago. That was a very impressive coin I must say, and quite a price!

I hadn’t seen a PL grade before and asked about it for James to explain it was for proof like.

Never seen this grade what does SP stand for?

Specimen. Usually with a strange finish that is semi-proof or semi-matt, or could be a pattern that never came to fruition.

@James32 beat you to it 💪😎:( 

[jultorsk]

It's a lovely thing, that. The 1959 SP67 NGC that they mention was sold at St. James's in Feb 2022 for GBP20.5k+BP, and I have no doubt this will go higher.

Anyone have a link for the auction?

Some lovely items for sale. The jubilee head halves look great. The super rare 1891 AU55 should do very well and I would think the 1887 MS63 No JEB should easily hit four figures.

Also some high grade double florins. Including the two rare varieties.

Very nice! 

[Leonmarsh]

Reckon around 30,000 for the specimen 1959 

One of my mates picked this up today 

SP 1908 Canada MS63 - 636 minted

Ended up to £35,000 + 18% BP (+VAT).

Insane if you ask me, doesn't look too different from high grade Gillicks. Also the 1887 Sov with the dots maybe 1mm further away from the crown at over 40k

Very strong prices, yes. The 1887 was 'presumed unique' so someone just had to have it. 

The 1923-SA Proof Sov PCGS PR65 Cameo for 13.5k+BP did very well too.
