1886 Melbourne Mint Shield Sovereign

You will note the name Barrie Winsor is attached to this coin. Now retired, Winsor’s speciality was gold coins and he was the guiding hand behind the assemblage of the famous Quartermaster Gold Coin Collection.

The Quartermaster Collection is legendary. So too its formation for it took Barrie Winsor more than two decades, and a lifetime of knowledge, to put the collection together for avid gold coin collector Tom Hadley.

The time involved in completing the collection reflected the rarity of the key dates and the quality level sought by both Winsor and his collector client, Hadley.

It is a strong statement on the calibre of this coin that it is superior to the Quartermaster coin.

This is an exciting opportunity for the gold sovereign devotee. Or simply the investor looking to tuck something away for the future.
