    does anyone think that this statement is accurate


    A sample of 40 1893 Melbourne mint half sovereigns revealed 6 examples of the 12 pearl variety and considering a total survival count of approximately 900 examples, we can assume a survival count of the 12 pearl variety to be approximately 135 pieces.
