Gee I wish some people would learn something/anything about what they're trying to sell :dodgy: about as close to an incused as what I am :dash1:

I still can't tell the difference and Trout GAVE me one!!
my brain just doesn't get it!!! ha ha
once you get it RG you'll see they stand out by a country mile :) even though it's sunk in :laugh2: Try this, run your fingernail across the flag on both of them and you'll feel one is sunk down, on the union jack you have like two crosses and it's the one's that run horizontal and vertical that are up and down and the one's on the diagonal are at the same level as the rest of the coin, I can see I'm gonna have to come and show you but hope it helps a little :D
I don't think this person is trying to deceive. I think they just don't know what an incuse is.probably got this in change , looked up 2000 50 cent flag on eBay and found a listing for incuse 50's and thought theirs looked the same
cross my heart
it's not me!!
I should have taken it out of the flip sorry but hope it gives you an idea, I might do it in paint later and put arrows or lines on it

some people talk about the star being different but I find it easier to just look at the cross

This one on greedBay has poor photo however it does highlight the incuse

Incuse means 'Dented' into the coin, not raised.
ACF is here to help you (http://wiki.australian-coins.net/wiki/australian-coins/decimal-coins/fifty-cent-coins/fifty-cent-errors-varieties/2000-fifty-cent-millennium-incuse-flag-variety/) Click on the second picture.
There are usually a few of these listed in error (I hope!) each year AJ. The photos included are sometimes also not all that clear so that makes it difficult to tell whether a Millennium 50c is really incused or not.

a lot of ebay pic's are suss and very blurry so makes me think, what are they trying to hide?
