Thank you I don't think its the best as a few hairline marks, but the rims and details are excellent. I will be disappointed if not at least ms60. I'm out at present but I will try and upload better photos. Cheers gazer.

Look forward to seeing the photos. I think it is particularly well worth grading if you think it its gEF- aUnc condition notwithstanding its 117 years old, 15k mintage and less than 2.5% of them graded by PCGS & NGC combined.  I have the Matte Proof Half which I bought from @shawy2510 and would like to acquire the Sovereign too- nice buy.

@1817Karl has the spare I was just admiring the set 😁 but if he wants to sell it to me for say £150 then I could possibly take it 😁

sorry, my bad, not paying enough attention!

anyway my question still stands😊

@sovereignsteve & @AgD I'd be happy to let one of the sets go (and they are high grade) but for sensible money... I wouldn't describe £150 as sensible. Happy to discuss by PM if interested.

Here are the photos I promised best I can do. I haven't got a clue what they will be like.

Looks fabulous.  I am absolutely not the person to comment on what its potential grade might be, but I would agree with you, its a 60 or better.  Perhaps @sovereignsteve, @sg86 or @1817Karl might like to comment.

Superb coin, minuscule signs of wear. gEF -  Unc imo. Certainly in the early 60's dependent on the vagaries of the grader with regard to luster  and  overall appearance etc.

Yes I would agree, beautiful matte coin, shame about the rim cut... Should grade well though and maybe early 60's as suggested, images aren't the best, but I would be disappointed if it graded 60. Would be interested in owning it @gazer.

Without seeing it in the hand, I would probably give it a PR62, though there appears to be some scuffing on the Obverse which may affect the result. 

My advice is always to check your coins with a 5 x loupe which is what the graders use. That way you see what they see.

Thank you I will do, a 5x loupe. Cheers I didn't know what magnifying loupe they used good information. 

Cheers gazer.
