Fiji, 1955 Proof Penny -

All VIP pre-decimal proof coins from the Commonwealth countries are scarce in general, but to find an example in a higher state of preservation than some modern proof coins is really something. Brilliant and flashy, and practically perfect by any measure, the coin photographed above is the finest Fijian pre-decimal proof coin I’ve handled in the last fourteen years, superior even to the 1954 proof penny graded PCGS PR67CA that we sold in August 2018. PCGS has seen far more coins than we have, but have handled just two 1955 proof pennies. The coin photographed above is the finest of the two. In fact, examining the PCGS Population Report, it is clear that the coin photographed above is the single-finest pre-decimal proof coin across the entire Fijian pre-decimal proof coin series, and is even superior to some more modern proof coins minted in the last five years. Extremely rare in this state of preservation, and a rare coin in general, this coin certainly belongs in the collection of any collector who considers himself or herself a serious Fijian numismatist.

Grades PCGS PR68CAM.
