Hey Folks,

What do you think are the possibility of someone getting an elusive PR 70 for a pre decimal proof ? I have seen achieving PR 68 with some late proofs (post 1955) ...would be an achievement if it is done !

Very doubtful a PR70 will be found in the pre decimals.
Getting a decimal coin graded at PR70 is tough enough, let alone the pre decimals.

I agree mate, I never expected PR 68 pre decimal proofs either.However they have started to surface now..

PR69's are probably out there but very elusive, although I would put PR70's as just exceptionally unlikely with the only real possibility I see would be a Threepence of the 1960's

Good to see you back here mate...:wavemulticolor:

I agree with you... 1959 seems to be the year with the most PR 68's..
