1953 Perth Proof Halfpenny - PCGS PR63RB

Australia, 1953 Perth Proof Halfpenny -

All pre-1955 proof coins were issued in low numbers, with the mintages of some issues as low as one or two pieces. The 1953 Perth proof halfpenny has a mintage of between 16 and 20 examples, and is a required coin in the QEII proof halfpenny set. The present example is equal-third finest graded by PCGS (3/24) and just the second example we’ve handled since 2008. RARE in this grade, and an essential QEII proof issue.
