1957 Perth Brilliant Proof Penny PCGS PR64RD
While the 1955 and 1956 Perth proof pennies are established rarities, the 1957 brilliant proof penny is a mispriced outlier. Each coin has a mintage in the low hundreds, yet the 1957 brilliant proof penny routinely realises only a fraction of the value of the 1955 and 1956. That disconnect won’t persist. With PCGS now distinguishing the brilliant proof from the common 1957 matte proof penny, the conditions are in place for the market to revalue the coin accordingly. Equal-finest graded by PCGS, with just three other examples in this grade (2/26). 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.
