1961 Proof VIP Threepence PCGS PR63
A rare Fijian VIP proof of record threepence. Minted in tiny numbers, VIP proof coins were issued to dignitaries, mints, and government officials. All VIP proof coins are rare. The present coin, photographed above, is the third-finest 1961 proof threepence graded by PCGS (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.
