Perhaps more importantly, this crucial coin is among Australia’s rarest half sovereigns. This is your chance to own the 1918P in strictly Uncirculated quality! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003ePerth Mint records state that no half sovereigns were produced in 1918. With this in mind, the numismatic community was naturally shocked in the 1960s when the 1918P Half Sovereign was first sighted. Subsequently, experts have estimated that perhaps 200 examples of the 1918 date were indeed struck by the Perth Mint. As the last issue of the 1855-1918 Half Sovereign Series, it is understandably one of the most important and most sought after Australian coins. With so few believed to exist, it is also one of the rarest. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"dropcap\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eUnderpinned by sharp detail, a strong P mintmark and an entrancing golden lustre, this is an outstanding example of the famed 1918P Half Sovereign. As good as the day it was struck at the Perth Mint, it has been graded by leading independent third party verifiers Numismatic Guaranty Company at MS61 – the equivalent of Uncirculated condition. Naturally rare in any grade, the 1918P Half Sovereign is excessively rare in such an impeccable state of preservation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"dropcap\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eA landmark opportunity, we have just the single Uncirculated 1918P Half Sovereign available.
