Trout, ole fella:
You have been able to educate youself with the benefit of many returned coins from PCGS, and can grade pretty darn well.
I suspect that if you are happy with MS62,
then you have got yourself a nice sovereign in value for grade, for the price you have paid.

I can't see wear, but quite a few very small marks.
I think MS62 as well.

I have sent over 700 coins in so far and it does give you a rough idea of how they will grade
I got to buy a bunch of Sovereigns "in hand", a Huge advantage instead of buying from images on the net

I have to go to Perth in a couple of weeks to get these pins removed from my wrist/fingers.
I will take advantage of this and have another squiz at a couple of shops

They were his coins that I saw when I last visited W.A.
Should be back again there sometime within a year.
