Critique: By looking through the NGC pop tables, I've realized that it's very difficult to find Edward VII sovs in any grade higher than MS63. Kind of similar to the situation for Veiled Head Vic sovereigns. So I've decided that when filling up the empty holes in my 1902 to 1910 collection, I'll try for MS63 coins like this one. Not too hard to find, and not very expensive. Well, not very expensive for a quarter of an ounce of gold. This would be a lot easier if Britain had made these things out of iron or aluminum, but too late to do anything about that now.
