1922/1 Overdate Threepence - PCGS VG - Details

Australia, 1922/1 Overdate Threepence -

The 1922/21 overdate threepence is one of Australia’s key collectable rarities. It is keenly sought-after across the entire grade spectrum, from the highest states of preservation down to the dreaded “body bags”. (A body bag is an informal term to describe a coin that PCGS has authenticated but not assigned a numerical grade. The official term is “Details grade”.) The present coin, assigned a Details grade for scrapes on the obverse, is one of the most affordable examples of this classic Australian rarity currently on the market. Net of the scrapes, the coin would have made a solid VG08 or VG10, with practically full “Advance Australia” on the reverse. Sourced from a Western Australian contact, and previously in the collection of the late Perth auctioneer Mike McAndrew.
