1957 Perth Proof Penny PCGS PR63RD
A rare commercial proof that is starting to get the recognition that it deserves. Minted in 1957, the brilliant version of the proof 1957 penny is now officially recognised by PCGS, and with a mintage of just 470 coins, it is comparable to the 1955 and 1956 proof Perth pennies yet half the price. (This coin should not be confused with the 1957 matte proof penny, which was struck in 1959, has a different appearance, and is more common.) A desirable coin with the red designation, and one destined to be a major Australian rarity on par with the 1955 and 1956 proof Perth pennies. 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.
