Australia 1919 Penny PCGS MS64BN
It’s exceedingly rare to see such complex toning on a bronze coin and for such an early date. Reportedly from a roll discovered in the 1980’s. Being wrapped in original mint wrapper for over 60 years would explain the exquisite toning. Furthermore, the streaks indicate an alloy mixing error. As various alloys will tone at different speeds, the coin becomes a complex mosaic of colour.
