Title: Ritchie Benaud 50c Coin
Post by: Goldseeker on December 15, 2016, 03:12:04 PM
I picked mine up today and I am more than impressed with the coin.

The effigy of Ritchie Benaud is great and a darn site better than the image for the crocodile man that came out years ago.

Top coin RAM, take a bow.

Yes . . This Richie Benaud coin has a different type of finish to it. It almost looks like it is made from silver but it obviously is not. If you compare it to one of the 50 cents that came in the "War"  series it is easy to see the difference in the surface finish.

Cheers Mike
