1942 Melbourne Shilling PCGS MS64
Sometimes the price guides are correct, but sometimes they’re not and a little bit of market research can reveal rarities that the price guides don’t seem to rate. One example is the 1942 Melbourne shilling, a coin that appears so infrequently on the market in high grade that it makes you wonder how it is possible that they’re priced at less than the very common 1938 shilling. The example photographed here is graded PCGS MS64, and is only the third example that I've had on hand since 2007. Very scarce. 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.
