Old head sovereign of Queen Victoria, also called veiled or widow head, London Mint, one of the best condition specimens we have seen, most older sovereigns are bag-marked, some heavily. This probably came about because mint bags contained 1,000 sovereigns, and we believe banks also stored them like this, so they got thrown around bank vaults quite frequently.
