1934 Shilling - PCGS MS64

Australia, 1934 Shilling -

1934 shillings don’t come up too often in UNC. In fact, the coin photographed above is one of the first I’ve had in stock for some time, and one of the nicer George V shillings I’ve seen. Completely originally toned (a good thing, as a bright, white silver coin from the early part of last century is unnatural and may have been dipped or cleaned), the coin on offer here has enormous eye appeal and is reasonably well-struck. Moreover, the 1934 shilling has the second-lowest mintage of all currency-issue shillings; only the 1933 shilling was minted fewer in number. Scarce, with a catalogue value of $2,200 in Choice UNC in McDonald.
