Title: 2016 50¢ Die Clash
Post by: Fulvio on October 29, 2016, 06:53:16 PM
Just got back from an afternoon of bike riding, and I stopped and picked up some Mushrooms on the way. Saw some shiny coins in the till, and asked for them. A pair of 2015 $1 and a 2016 50¢.

The 50¢ is a die clash, and a very nice one at that.

The usual bit under the emu, plus under the shield. Unusually though, there are three distinct raised hairlines in the indentation under the shield.

At the top of the shield there are at least 8 'teeth' stretching the full width from paw to leaf. And the Obverse seems to be a little 'crushed' in the matching crown area. Something you don't ever notice on circulated coins.

I'm a Happy little Rhino right now, that's for sure. :)

Hopefully these might help.

The yellow arrows show the 2 main lines which can often be found on several years.

The red ones hopefully show what McDuck's talking about.

Thanks Pedro! I know how much McDuck hates doing pics. For once it only took 32 snaps to get 5 reasonable pics.
