1966 Perth One Cent PCGS MS63RB
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. 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 a decent grade. It’s totally original, has a nice wallop of brilliance, and is easy to the eye: It would have looked at home in an MS64RB holder, to be honest. Scarce this nice, and potentially a strong performer in the years to come as collectors realise just how hard this date is to source in decent grade. 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.
