1875 half sovereign- Sydney?

Recommended Posts

Hi guys wondering if you could help me out here. I picked up a half sovereign, a bit worn condition from a dealer that was sold as a London mint. To me it looks like an ‘S’ for Sydney mint not a ‘5’ for the die number. Sydney 1875s although a lot minted are quite scarce according to this website.

Opinions? London or Sydney?

I have a half sov Melbourne Mint and the M is in the same place as your S, I would say it's an S.
