Sovereign 1850 I of REGINA missing it's top left serif and therefore resembling a reversed Arabic 1, second A of GRATIA double struck, VF/GVF with some contact marks
Sovereign 1850 with a 5 struck over the 8 of the date, a recently discovered type, NVF/Good Fine and extremely rare, the overstrike extremely bold and clear. This the same variety as the coin listed in the Bentley Collection (Lot 986), where it was stated 'the cataloguer has heard of only one other specimen extant' and that the Bentley collector waited 5 years to acquire his example. We note the Bentley example, described as 'Cleaned, Good Very Fine' realised £2520 in May 2013. In the light of this, there will be few opportunities to obtain this coin for any advanced Sovereign Collection, and it may be many years before another example is offered

Sovereign 1850 0 over lower 0, the lowest 0 being amongst the border teeth, spectacular 'dropped 0' type unlisted by Marsh or Spink, GVF the variety very clear, most unusual and previously unseen by us
Sovereign 1850 with Roman I in the date S3852C Spinks list a price of £1,000 in VF with no price given in higher grades this piece is VF/GVF with good eye appeal so presumed amongst the finest examples available of this rare type
