1955 Perth Proof Penny PCGS PR64RD
A practically perfect example of this early commercial proof. With pristine fields, sharp strike, and overflowing eye appeal, the coin photographed above is one of the finest 1955 Perth proof pennies we’ve handled in recent years, and the equal-finest certified by PCGS (3/24). It is a survivor out of a low mintage of just 301 pieces, and is already considered a classic rarity amongst pre-decimal coin collectors. An investment-level coin in this grade. 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.
