Title: 1963 1/2d PCGS MS67 RD
Post by: enworb on February 08, 2013, 04:01:51 PM
Was just having a look at the PCGS population reports and saw that there is one MS67 RD 1963 1/2d. Have any of the members sold the coin or now own it? I would love to see some pics of it. I would imagine thats one valuable coin!

Based on the gap from ms64, I think it may be a proof that was slabbed as MS

That would still be pretty high for a proof wouldnt it? Thats probably explains it though. Thanks

I could be entirely wrong.
There are 9 PR67's, and 1 PR68 in 1963 with RD designation, so it would be high for a proof, but there would be one better.
If the MS67 was real, value wise, I reckon it would probably fetch more than the PR68.

Almost certainly a proof.  It's been there for a while.  There's an outlier parliament florin that's supposedly a proof too.

I agree the high MS grade would fetch more than the proofs.
