Excellent!
What a nice person!
So now that you have them both "in hand" what do you think?

hi Oz

hummm ...
I think that the incused looks nicer
the son immediately said that the Cross of St George looked so much better on the incused coin
(he is a bit of a flag guy)

yes, I need to keep at it but I do think that I can now 'see' the difference
mostly that all round it is a smoother looking Union Jack
so now I will continue the quest for a noodling find!!

cheers rob

I lobbed along to our local coin show yesterday
and proudly showed my coin dealer my beaut incused 50c that had very sweetly been given to me by a forum member here :winkextra:

I ask my dealer - do you sell them?

reply - ýes'

oh goodie - can I buy an unc one please?

he near fell on the floor laughing at me and announced that the incused coin that I have is far better than any that he has for sale!

well done Trout! (and another thank-you)

I think I remember PP getting Mark a aUnc one of these for $100 and most people were stunned at that .
These are bloody near impossible to get in gEF or better.
Well done PP :yahoo:

robbiegal · June 03, 2013, 07:12:16 PM

my coin dealer would agree with you

I did feel a bit dumb, as I genuinely did want to buy one!

The catch is that it's not slabbed as the variety.

robbiegal · June 03, 2013, 08:06:40 PM

isn't it a recognised die variety?

purplepennyhunter · June 03, 2013, 08:14:43 PM

They didn't recognise it at the time it was slabbed, I think they have a coin number for it now. I know of a wavy 2 that was slabbed many tears ago as a regular 20c, as far as I know it hasn't been resubmitted.

Ozcoins · June 04, 2013, 08:19:12 AM

It would not worry me at all that a slabbed con is not identified as the incused variety.
The variety is plain to see.
The grading would be the important part to me.
