1930 Penny PCGS VF30BN
The 1930 penny is the undisputed crown jewel of Australia’s collectable coins, revered by collectors, investors, and non-collector alike. Struck in extremely limited numbers (as a test or by mistake, depending on who you ask), it remains one of the most fiercely pursued pieces in Australian coinage. The present example, acquired from a western Sydney source, ranks amongst the finer specimens to surface in recent years. It is even brown, with clean surfaces, has part centre diamond, and six clear pearls; diagnostic weakness on the “N” of “ONE” is present. For the collector seeking an original, problem-free example of Australia’s most sought-after coin, this is a standout opportunity. Professional Coin Grading Service is the global leader in coin authentication and grading. With over 60 million coins graded and counting, PCGS is trusted by collectors, dealers, and investors to certify authenticity, protect value, and elevate market confidence. This is a direct conversion of the 70-point PCGS grade to a 10-point scale, intended to present the grade in a more intuitive format for newer collectors. It is not our personal opinion or an attempt at regrading the coin to a different standard.
