1968 One Cent PCGS MS67RD

If you’re a one cent collector, you will know that the 1968 one cent is one of the toughest dates across the series. With the lowest mintage of all circulation one cent pieces, the coin was never available in a mint set (the Royal Australian Mint did not issue a mint set in 1968) making them today very difficult to hunt down in Mint State or UNC. Of course, you could tear open a 1968 one cent mint roll, but how many intact, original rolls exist? In any case, the odds of finding a 1968 one cent that would grade MS67RD with PCGS, as did the coin photographed above, are tiny. You only need to look at the PCGS Population Report to confirm this: Of the 205 one cent pieces from 1968 graded by PCGS, zero examples made MS68RD and only four made MS67RD (July 2013). The coin above is rare, make no mistake about it, and would be ideal for a Set Registry award-winning collection. 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.
