today a came across my worst nightmare.. year 11 photography made the alphabet out of coins and you'll never guess what coin was in there.....

an incused millennium coin I was devastated that somebody used it, goes to show they are still in circulation. I can almost bet my bottom dollar that it went straight back into circulation afterwards.

:@ :(

One needs the two 50c pieces side by side and then look very closely at the centre cross of the union jack.   On the incuse, the centre cross looks sunken or below the surface level of the rest of the coin.

Further, if a light reflects off the centre cross, the incuse shines like now whereas the normal is a dull reflection.

The star is bigger on the incused coin as well, so size DOES matter RG :diablo::laugh2:

I'm jokin as I was big once but not so big now..was near 100kg at one stage but have lost about 20kg's so I hang around the 80kg now but don't like being any smaller 'cause I'm six foot and look to skinny other wise :) and I'm very pretty, come on I can dream can't I :laugh2:

And Cooper, I don't see what the problem is..just take it and put a common one in :mocking:..but serious mate just ask as you won't know unless you do and they might even let you take what you want..you just never know :)

Yeah, what AJ said. Assuming the photos weren't done ages ago of course, and the coins tossed back in the pond. Its a terrible sinking feeling when you see such things. Like the rare coin ruined by PMD or verdigris, or spent before you can liberate it. *Sympathy* :(
