Here are details from the obverses of two 1887 sovereigns that I have catalogued as Spink 3866A (Marsh 125) and Spink 3866A (Marsh 125A). I have always cherished the second as a coin which Spink describes as "Extremely rare" rather than quoting a value. I don't have too many of those! Marsh however gives it R2 or "Very rare". Has anyone seen another of have any idea how common/rare they really are?

Google shows me that London Coins sold one in 2008 for £700 but I can't find any others. Neither Marsh nor London Coins have a photo.
