1966 Perth One Cent PCGS MS64RB

There are only a few sleepers left in the decimal series. The 1966 Perth one cent is one of them. Never issued in mint sets nor officially rolled by the Royal Australian Mint, the 1966 Perth one cent is extremely difficult to find in Mint State. Like the previous three 1966 Perth one cent pieces I have recently had in stock, the coin photographed above is one of a small handful of specimens I secured from a single source last year, and one of only a few that graded up in MS64RB. As of May 2014, only one example in Red Brown has graded finer. The coin photographed above is nearly fully brilliant on the obverse, but the obverse has a light shadow of tone that somewhat diminishes the eye appeal on the reverse. I have therefore priced the coin at a small discount to the previous MS64RB I recently sold. In any case, if you’re looking for a high-grade example of this popular issue, this is your coin.

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.
