1916c Sovereign PCGS MS-62PQ. Fully lustrous with deep orange patina. An excellent example of the grade. It is thought that most of the mintage of 6,111 pieces was melted, perhaps when large quantities of sovereigns were shipped from Canada to the United States during World War II to pay for war material. Only a few examples exist. Missing in most advanced collections. Highest of rarity!
