This is my newest addition. I reckon its aUNC. Quite a way off centre. My wallet said no but the coin was calling my name too loudly and here we are.

How much did you have to shell out for that one Matt?
A heap. Before i say what do you think its worth?
Great coin Matt.! Good adoption.!
O pretty, I have never seen anything like that before on a 50c.
I would guess $30+ don’t think it would get to $100
Man that’s a nice coin :drooling:
These photos show the lustre better

I reckon you paid $165
I paid a bit more than that, im sure i overpaid but im very happy. I dont have many/any decent 50c errors so i thought i just had to have it.
Surely less than $200,well it is a nice coin and no doubt very uncommon
What i really want now is one of those partial collar 50c with the little teeth.
Great pickup. I would have paid the price for it as well.
Very cool. A big brother:

Excellent coin Matt, if i got it for less than $250 i'd be happy,very seldom seen.
I got out bid on one of those 50's with the teeth last week,i put $210 on it & obviously someone was willing to pay more,i kicked myself for days after that,i wish i'd bid more & should have.
:scratch_one-s_head::scratch_one-s_head:
hard to believe , same error ,, same coins ,,
different year ,, ..
very strange to me .. ,, kel ,,
Very nice errors on those 50c pieces.
Enworb,
That is a great error.
Congratulations!
Im pretty happy with it. It is one of the best errors/varieties i have now and its safe to say it wont be leaving my collection for a long time.
Nice coin, as to value it only takes a couple of keen bidders and the sky is the limit. I have seen a similar coin go for over $700 on ebay a few years ago. You see them very rarely.
I said i wanted a 50c with the teeth and now i have one woohoo! First coin shop i visited on my holiday to Melbourne and picked up a nice 1983 aUNC example. Has the teeth on the obverse. Does anyone know how to upload iphone pics here?
No- but I am sure someone does.! Aren't holidays fun.! Congrats.!

Ever since I saw this picture I have lusted after one of these...50c Ramstrike Coin Error (http://www.australian-threepence.com/blog/2010/06/50c-ramstrike-coin-error.html)
Jeff
I called it a partial collar earlier which is wrong. Ramstrike is correct. Helps with pics please!
Nice pickup. You don't see them around much so the price can be tricky to pick.
