1957 Perth Proof Penny with brilliant finish PCGS PR62RD
Whilst the 1955 and 1956 Perth proof pennies are widely recognised for their rarity, the 1957 proof penny with a brilliant finish remains largely overlooked. Despite all three coins having mintages in the low hundreds, the 1957 currently sells for barely a third of the price of its 1955 and 1956 counterparts. That gap won’t last. As collectors become aware of its scarcity, especially now that PCGS distinguishes it from the common matte issue, the coin’s true value is poised for a reappraisal. 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.
