2000 50c Coins

Goldseeker · February 17, 2014, 09:44:38 PM

I have just purchased a brand new, so called up to date DANSCO Supreme Album at some cost.

Transferring the coins from my old this new album I think I have found an error.

DANSCO has pre printed the year, mintage and titles of the commemoratives on each page.

On the third page, they have printed 2000 - 16,xxx,xxx and then two holes/spaces later they have printed 2000 - Millenium. In between these two holes they have the Royal Visit coin. Thus, according to DANSCO, we had three 2000 50c coins minted.

Can someone please tell me what the third one is as according to Greg MacDonald's catalogue, only two 50c coins were issued.

Please advise.

Maybe space for the Incuse Millenium ?

I think it is for Incuse Millennium

OK, if that is the case, has anyone got an UNC Incuse Millenium for sale please?

Thanks for your responses.

Yeah I wouldn't mind one as well if you end up with too many

It wouldn't be for the different obverse on the Royal Visit coin would it?

Goldseeker · February 18, 2014, 07:26:39 PM

Two obverses, please enlighten me.

Goldie,

Could it be for the coloured Millenium coin issued with the proof set for 2000?

As distinct from the standard Millenium coin issued with the mint set and normal circulation coins.

Cheers

More likely than a variety.

Two obverses?

?? Huh?

The Obv that was used for the 2000 Royal Visit 50c is quite noticeably different to all the other Obverses used so far. The 2000 RV 50c is the only circulation Aussie coin that has had that particular Obv on it. I think it may have been used on some Canadian coins though.

Well, yeah, it was supplied by the Royal Mint. But they're all the same AFAIK.. Where's this second Obverse?

If the hole is for a Millenium Variety then why wasn't a hole left for the pointy and blunt issue in 2004?

Further, why haven't there been more marked holes for other variety 50c pieces.

Isn't the effigy on the Millennium obverse by Rank-Broadley and the effigy on the obverse of the Royal Visit coin the one by Gottwald.

The Millennium obverse is the same as the other 50 cent coins issued in that period. I suspect the spare hole is to show the unique obverse for the RV coin. Otherwise where else would you display it.
