yep total bull crapola  ,The only known 1964 Y. proof penny was sold by spinks in 1987 when the penny and a unique halfpenny realised $7200 for the pair according to macs guide .
That seller is lower than a snakes belly I reckon

This Peter Wallace is a real problem,all of his coins are polished as well and he prays on the gullable collectors out there.They probably haven't got a clue even after they've received delivery

A consistant lister of Carp.
How does he keep a High % satisfied Rating?

As to the Mintage No.
Macca's list the "Official Record" Unique.
Walter will correct that if he pops in,
 there were more struck "Off the Record"
(5 pair from memory)

Yeah i liked the way it has the goldie colour all the way round the edges both sides but seriously what a tosser & the bidders are even bigger tossers, $101 with near on 4 days to go,wonder what the final price will be ? maybe we should have a contest,guess the final price.

the other one that I saw went for about $600 several years ago
one bidder

i told my dealer about it and he then gave me a lecture on how e-bay is used for money laundering

Lizzie should be more careful shaving. Some nasty nicks on her upper cheek. And, she need a new curling iron for her hair too!
I will take a load of BS or "carp"; makes great soil conditioner and fertilizer for the garden.

I'm only aware of the pair sold by Spink in the 80s (which have since been cleaned) plus one additional penny currently in the hands of a former Perth mint employee.

Huh. Never considered that but it makes sense.
Though it may not necessarily be the case here.
