1964 Penny



Struck along side the Perth mint half penny (Learn more about the 1964-Y Half Penny) and penny (Learn more about the 1964-Y Penny), and the threepence (Learn more about the 1964 Threepence), the 1964 penny is the last pre-decimal coin to be struck in Australia. With 10 million pieces struck to serve just two years of circulation, numerous unused bank rolls of 1964 pennies have surfaced making the coin very common in mint state. Sourcing the date with full mint brilliance can be quite easy although the date does pose quite a challenge if desired in MS65 and is very rare in MS66.
