PCGS grading of the 2023 Myths & Legends King Arthur 1oz Gold Coin

This is a busy, high-relief design, so the grade tells you a good deal about how cleanly a particular coin was struck.

PCGS, the Professional Coin Grading Service, is a widely used independent coin-grading service. It verifies that a coin is genuine, assigns a grade on the 70-point Sheldon scale and encapsulates it in a sealed holder. Bullion coins are graded Mint State, abbreviated MS, with 70 the highest possible mark.

The grade of the coin supplied is the one stated on its PCGS label. Images are for illustration and grades may vary, so please contact our team if you would like a specific grade.

Why buy a PCGS 2023 Myths & Legends King Arthur 1oz Gold Coin?

A graded King Arthur opens a certified Arthurian set, with Merlin and Morgan le Fay to follow.

It pairs a well-known subject with a full ounce of CGT-exempt gold in verified condition.

Why buy 1oz gold coins?

The one-ounce coin is the standard unit of the gold market. Because gold is priced per troy ounce, a 1oz coin’s metal value is simple to follow, and the larger size usually carries a lower premium per gram than fractional coins. Compared with a large bar, a holding of 1oz coins can still be sold a coin at a time, so you keep flexibility without paying fractional-coin premiums.
