I saw this coin on CCF and didn't comment, However now that you are in "my backyard" I will give you my unbiased opinion :ok:
These are treated pretty much as a "Bullion" coin in Australia and anything under MS63 is regarded at melt value.
Your coin regardless of how much you love it would struggle at MS62 unfortunately :ok:
Sorry to burst your bubble on this coin but if you want soft and politically correct answers look to CCF.
If you really want truthful and honest answers then this is the site for you.
So take your boots off, relax and stick around , because this is the best Aussie coin site on the Planet where bullshit is tolerated but NOT revered :yahoo:

I would think for your opinion is accurate about the rating number which has low number to receive for the uncirculated condition there.

The most interesting for the coin is with the beautiful shining luster which has no toning but it has so many bad marks on obverse side makes lower grade to become normal piece which is unfortunely there.
I have realised for the same opinions about the grade from the other members on difference at forums to say the same grade number which cannot be higher for the grade but someone said its MS68 number there.
Welcome to the forum Raritiescoinlover
As the grade for the coin is determined by primarily
the coins surface, this aspect is missing in youe image.
All those imperfections that are showing could well be
defects in the mylar flip.
Remove it and take another shot.
The coin image as presented I can't see it making MS
let alone a high end MS score.
"I would think for your opinion is accurate about the rating number which has low number to receive for the uncirculated condition there."
i really wish i understood what you meant by that
if you think it is ms 68 get it graded and i will personally pay your grading fee if it came back as ms 68 the mark on the cheek and below the L in Elizabeth is enough to down grade it to 65 much less the rest
markn do you have an opinion on this one?
Quotemarkn do you have an opinion on this one?
Don't piss him off (that's MY job) :laugh2:
Seriously tho this may be one of the times he will agree with my at best MS62 assessment of this coin :ok:

AU perhaps, perhaps low MS, hard to make out too much from over exposed images. Nothing special.
The OP should learn that "shiny" != "high grade".
I have 755 of these 1966 x 50c pieces and many of them look the same as that one pictured. Even circulated ones look good.
As to the grade, well that is not one of my specialities.
The ones I have will be held for melt value once the price of silver rises once again unless someone desperately some and then I might sell privately but only if the price is right.
I was In Melbourne during the past week and a lady walked in and sold to the shop owner, 103 of these coins to which she was paid $6.50 each. Had I been a few minutes earlier, I would have offered $6.75 or even $7 per coin. Darn it.
When the lady had left the shop, I asked how much for the coins and I was told $8 each. Not bad profit me thinks.
In saying that, the price of these coins have fallen somewhat over the past months.
shop owner might not have been impressed goldie if you snitched that sale ... in their shop
C'mon Shiny with lots of bling is my description
I love getting them for face value from the banks
still can be done
Agreed Serial, but very rare these days.
The grade of MS68 was suggested by CCF member shanew. :dodgy:
I would think for the natural original shade and shining luster on the surface is beautiful enough for me compare with most of them with other shade to be honest with you there.Thank you
