Under Rated Australian 50 cent coins

[robbiegal]

I like the little dots of the trip map around Oz
he crash landed in cook town and I have one of the beer bottles from that ship wreak, when they ditched the booze overboard to try and make it float
almost futile - but it didn't completely sink

have you got any like this?
this is a nice gold tone that they can be found with

The captain cook coin is very under rated in fact you never here about them anywhere they are quiet easy to find but.

These were our first ever decimal commemorative and 16.5 million of them were minted.
However there was only556,888 of the "Specimen" coins minted and these are beautiful coins.
These can Still be bought for about five bucks in their little red backed square capsules.
I admire these coins because they are beautifully struck and have NO nasty scrapes or dings  on them, Unlike a lot of the issues from 2010 to date :dash1:

yeah
I am fairly certain these ones are specimens
these were from the one lot of red cases and I had to almost pry some out with a chisel
but being in the red case doesn't mean someone hasn't switched the coin/s over the years as I have had some real rough jobs show up in the case

Great Pic's RG :yahoo:
These ARE Stunning coins and I have but a few .
Most have their own caricature due to the different toning on them :good:

[robbiegal]

id say yours would look as good as these
you can post them to me and I'll take the glam photos and send ém back to you

Yeah that's right. I'm pretty sure that the ones I have now are specimens as well. They are not very expensive at all.

This thread has me puzzled.
I thought it was about underrated 50c pieces. The 1970, although a lovely design, is common in high grade.

[robbiegal]

1972,1973 and 2005 COA coins in MS65 and above are pretty tough.
I also feel the Specimen Captain cook is Very underrated as well :ok:

underrated is the operative word for this thread
not common

I won a 2005 50c PNC on another forum, thanks to a very generous Aussie collector.
Are these OK to leave in the PNC or should I remove the 50c and put it in a 2x2?

I won a 2005 50c PNC

I wouldn't expect any PVC in packaging nowadays, so it should be safe.

All the outer clear envelopes ARE PVC on pnc items
