I copied this from Michael Marsh 1980's "The Gold Sovereign book"
These are the very rare coins. Just wondering if anyone has any of these?
London
1819, 1823, 1825, 1828, 1831, 1839, 1841, 1843, 1859. 1863, 1874, 1879,
1917,
Melbourne
1883, 1886, 1887, 1920, 1921. 1922, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1931.
Sydney
1920, 1921, 1922, 1923, 1924, 1926.
Ottawa
1908, 1909, 1910, 1913, 1914, 1916,
South Africa
1923, 1924.
 
The 1883 Melbourne is Shield Sovereign not the St. George.
From the PM only the 1926 marked as Rare.
The list here is very rare at least.

1899-P is also marked as R in the Jubilee and Revised Editions of Marsh, though probably not as super rare as those others listed R2 - R7 in Marsh
 
A couple of years ago I was also umming and ahhing over whether to pick up an 1880-S shield reverse, inverted A for V in Victoria. It was in decent condition, but had a nick on the effigy's cheek which ultimately made me decide against picking it up. Asking price was maybe only a couple of thousand at the time (can't remember the actual asking price now), but alas not to be. Rated R2 in the revised edition of Marsh
 
I only have 2 1925 Sydney, marked S (Scare) in the 1980 book, but one of them is UNC.
