Does any remember discussion about different IRB varieties on the Commonwealth Games and Queen's Birthday and Royal Visit 50c pieces? I've gone looking but can't find it, and I can't remember whether it was here or on CCF.
I'm a bloody sieve at the best of times so sorry I can't help Mister T :( But I'm sure someone like Nancy might remember :winkextra:
The dates don't ring any bells for me, sorry. :angel:
I think Yass was the person who posted the information - anyone remember if he registered here? The user list doesn't show any Yass now: http://www.australian-coins.net/memberlist.php?username_match=begins&username=Y
Yep, he's here, his ID is Graham, but hasn't posted for some time. Still logs in occasionally though. :angel:
I've just done a search for 50c 2006 IRB on my PC, and found this, but please note I am not the author.
"2006 50c many designs - some obverse change noticeable by two slightly different appearances of the IRB
Many of the changes can be seen as:
(1) text is close to rim (large head or large obverse) or text is further from rim (small head or small obverse),
(2) position of font has changed in relation to E under Queen's neck or spacing between letters of text,
(3) font style of text around obverse has changed,
(4) font style of designers initials IRB under neck has changed.
Many of the modifications have had more than one of the above features changed at the same time."
Thanks Nevol that's exactly the information I was looking for.
You're welcome. I'd pass the thanks on, but I have no idea who the original author is. May have been Yass but I simply don't know. The doc was created Friday, 13 July 2007 7:08:00 AM.
Yass is the FB coin forums
