1957 Perth Proof Penny PCGS PR63RD
Once overlooked, the 1957 brilliant finish proof penny is now finally gaining traction amongst collectors. Officially recognised by PCGS and with a mintage of just 470 coins worldwide, it stands alongside the iconic 1955 and 1956 Perth proof pennies, but at a fraction of the cost. This coin should not be confused with the more common matte proof version, which was struck in 1959 and features a distinctly different surface and strike. With its red designation and low mintage, this coin is on track to become a major Australian numismatic rarity. 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.
