Palestine - 1 Mil 1939 - PCGS MS 65 RD - Of 222 coins from this year graded by PCGS and NGC, only 36 are graded RD (Red). There is only one coins which graded higher (NGC MS 66 RD) in that color category. Bronze coins are graded by color according to three primary designations: RD (Red) – Red RB (Red-Brown) – Red-Brown BN (Brown) – Brown These designations indicate how much of the coin’s original mint color remains. The Red (RD) designation represents the ideal state, where the coin retains its original bright reddish luster. Coins graded RB or BN show varying degrees of natural oxidation over time. Collectors and graders generally seek coins with their original red color, as it best preserves the appearance of the freshly struck piece. However, in certain issues and specific years, finding coins that remain fully red is nearly impossible — making them particularly rare and highly desirable among collectors. mils was the currency of the British Mandate of Palestine from 1927 to May 14, 1948, and of the State of Israel between May 15, 1948, and June 23, 1952, when it was replaced with the Israeli lira.
