1957 Perth Proof Penny PCGS PR62RD
Both the 1955 and 1956 Perth proof pennies are well-known for their rarity, yet the 1957 proof penny with a brilliant-type finish remains relatively obscure. Despite all three having mintages in the low hundreds, the 1957 trades for just a third of the price of its 1955 and 1956 counterparts. In a well-informed market, this pricing discrepancy is unlikely to last. As collectors become more aware of its rarity—especially with PCGS now distinguishing it from the more common matte version—the coin’s true value is bound to be recognised. 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.
