1964 Melbourne Penny PCGS MS66RB

Some coins are rare generally; others are rare only in high grades. The coin photographed above, a 1964 Melbourne penny graded PCGS MS66RB, belongs to the latter group of coins. Although the 1964 Melbourne penny is by no means rare generally, it is extremely difficult to source in MS66RB or better. In fact, PCGS has graded only four examples in MS66RB, with none finer. That’s four coins, out of a total of 462 examples graded. The last one I had in stock sold last January 2014 and came from the same roll as the coin now on offer here. Both coins have glossy fields and warm colour. The example photographed above even has highlights of brilliance across the fields. If you’re looking for a type coin for your QEII penny set, this is your coin. It’s one of the few QEII pennies graded this highly, and certainly the most affordable. RARE this nice.

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.
