Australia 1884M Half Sovereign NGC-XF40
Reported mintage of 48,000 coins, but nowhere near as easy to find as similar mintages in higher grades. PCGS presently has 15 coins graded for 1884M. The four in AU to MS grade would be unaffordable to most collectors. That leaves only 9 coins in XF40 to AU55 grades for collectors worldwide. I believe this coin is a sleeper and of similar scarcity as 1885M (11k) and 1887M (9k).
