Dozens of rare coins from China, Malaysia, Australia and the United States certified for authenticity and grade by Professional Coin Grading Service (www.PCGSAsia.com) are among the highlights of the upcoming Monetarium Singapore (www.Monetarium.com) auction at the Marina Mandarin Hotel in Singapore and online, October 26, 2012.
"Many collectors from Asia are starting to realize the advantage and convenience of having coins graded by PCGS," stated Gilbert Chiang of Monetarium Singapore.
He said the work by PCGS experts to "weed out fake and artificially altered coins is greatly welcomed by genuine collectors. The grading system used by PCGS is very comprehensive, and this helps collectors to closely determine the fair value of each coin. This is one company with a consistently high standard of customer service and is always looking for ways to cater to the constant change in customers’ needs."
Among the highlights of PCGS-certified coins in the auction are:
China (1912) Sun Yet-Sen silver $1 (Y-319, L&M-42 Low Stars) graded PCGS Secure Plus™ MS64;
and Australia 1927(m) George V silver proof Florin (KM-31), graded PCGS Secure Plus PR67. It is one of only 400 of these proof coins struck that year by the mint in Canberra.
