1942 Melbourne Shilling - PCGS MS64

Australia, 1942 Melbourne Shilling -

Throw out the catalogue on this one. This date is rare, perhaps even rarer than the 1940 and 1946 Perth shillings. Although the 1942 Melbourne has a relatively high mintage, it seems notoriously difficult to source in higher Mint State grade, while PCGS has not graded a single example in MS65 or better. The price guides have undervalued the 1942 Melbourne shilling for years, with unrealistically low prices across all the UNC grades. Very scarce this nice and only the second that I have had listed on the website in eight years. Equal-second finest graded by PCGS (2/16).
