1887 jubilee london sovereign rare?

I took some of my sovs to a local jeweller today to get a second opinion if they were genuine or not.  He confirmed they were, however I was quite surprised when he said that the above jubilee head was worth more than some shieldbacks...

Having only paid bullion for it at an antiques fair I'm slightly confused.  I thought this sovereign was quite common?

I also saw this on ebay:https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/293176759432

Mine's not a minter so who's right?

Here is a snippet of the Marsh book. Can you pick which is yours?

It looks like a 125b, 13 pearls. I cant make out the j with my cheapo 10x lupe.

Impossible to tell from your pics but even a cheap and nasty loupe should suffice, it's just more difficult to angle things and get the distance right. Keep at it and you should see things clearly.
