Collecting 50c coins

[Goldseeker]

Nup, I just don't keep coins that needs a x20 or sumfin magnifier to bring up the faults etc.

I like to save errors that can be seen/spotted with the naked eye.

In saying that, the wife just dropped a 2000 Incuse into my lap that she got from ten pin bowling payments.

Nice Goldseeker

Interesting comment Goldy. I was only wondering last night about how many errors/varieties/radars/etc may pass by my better half without her knowing......if only she was interested.

try a double swap offer
if she finds a 50c error
give her $1

it could be fun
we sometimes offer the boys more for an interesting error
especially forgeries & they do keep an eye out for them as well

the sons have found us a $2 counterfeit & a $50 note counterfeit so that has been great (both work in retail)

Robbiegal ..... would you be able to put up a pic of the counterfeit $2. (or a link to one). I've heard of them but can't recall what they look like.

You may find this PDF I did useful, and the discussion in the Decimal Mintages thread: http://goo.gl/CdA7n

Thanks for the PDF. I've found it very helpful.

:welcome: to the forum. Fulvio's PDF is very good, I've had my copy for several years and still refer to it from time to time.

Thanks R9453. I've printed two copies of the PDF already.

Macca's is also a really good resource for 50c coins and all the other decimals :good:

According to my time stamps, I've been working on the update for over a month now.

Just spent a hour or two trying to tweak the page breaks. Still not happy, but it will do for now.

2014 will have to wait for the October update after the RAM report. Changeover and Olympics are in, as are bag sizes and weights. A few more varieties, including the possible 3-legged roo and 2014 mule.

Its uploading now to both sites after you pointed out the old one.

http://fulvio55.altervista.org is the 'proper' site though. And yes, I know I need to clean that page up.. a LOT. Waiting for my upcoming trip to the Murray later this month, since I'll be needing help from the usual suspects to keep my faucets alive.

Oh, apologies that the file size has doubled. Some higher-quality images did that. Must find a workable compromise. :dodgy:

I've printed two copies of the PDF already.

Just so you know, this thing was never intended to be a printed book. It started as a HTML page for my own reference, then when I got my iPod I wanted a local copy I could refer to offline. So its basically aimed at mobile devices.

If I was going to turn it into a book, I'd change the layout a LOT, and make it about half the size. I already trimmed 5 pages off it just now.
