1955 Perth Proof Copper Pair Penny and Halfpenny PCGS 62RD

Penny: PCGS PR62RD. Certificate # 28635770

Halfpenny: PCGS PR62RD. Certificate # 28635768

Mintage = 301


These are the rarest coins in the QEII pre-decimal proof coin series, here in impeccable quality.

As the first and rarest coins in the set of proof coins struck at the Perth and Melbourne Mints between 1955 and 1963, the 1955 Perth proof penny and halfpenny can be regarded as iconic in the entire Australian numismatic series.

The QEII pre-decimal proof series includes enough affordable coins that a complete set is well within the reach of many collectors, and the 1955 Perth copper pair is the one item that they all need to make their set truly complete.

This lack of availability is partly a result of the tiny mintage of just 301 pairs, but is also a function of the fact they are tightly held by those that own them.

This particular pair has been assessed by PCGS as being genuine proofs; they have original surfaces and have kept full and original red lustre.

They would make a fine addition to any premium collection of Western Australian numismatic items and would be a solid foundation for a premium set of pre-decimal proof coins from the Queen Elizabeth II period.
