1956 Melbourne Penny - PCGS MS65RD

Australia, 1956 Melbourne Penny -

In September 2014, a 1955 Melbourne penny in MS65RD sold at auction for AU$5,760. (I have used a 1955 because there have been no sales of the 1956 in this grade on the open market.) The example on offer here, dated 1956, is a great type coin, with flashy eye appeal and lots of brilliance. It is also worth an extra bonus point on the Set Registry, being the equal-finest graded by PCGS (7/15). If you’re looking for a high-grade, top pop, full red penny but don’t want to compete against other bidders at auction, buy this coin.
