UP FOR SALE IS AN EXQUISITE GOLD HALF SOVEREIGN COIN MINTED IN 1989 TO COMMEMORATE THE 500 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE ENGLISH SOVEREIGN COIN. THERE ARE A LIMITED AMOUNT OF THESE COINS AND CONSIDERED SUPER RARE AND WILL ONLY GO UP IN VALUE. THIS PARTICULAR ONE IS SPECIAL BECAUSE IT WAS GRADED BY NGC AS A PROOF 69 WHICH IS JUST ONE STEP AWAY FROM FLAWLESS!! YOU WILL SEE THESE COINS COME UP FOR AUCTION BUT TYPICALLY IN A LOWER GRADE SO THIS ONE IS A MUST HAVE!!! I WOULD KEEP THIS COIN FOR MY COLLECTION BUT ALREADY HAVE SEVERAL OTHERS AND NEED THE MONEY FOR HOME RESTORATIONS.
