:i_agree:
Very logical conclusion, I'm convinced.

Quote from: 'Steveqld' pid='42145' dateline='1392726998'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.

I think that's the correct answer.

Here you go Goldie the flip side.

Um where did you get the 2000 Coat Of Arms from?

Can you please list each of the year 2000 x 50c coins that were issued but please do not include any varieties.?

I thankyou for your response ADMISLE but another member has shown three x 2000 50c pieces in scans above.

My question still stands: What are those three coins please?

Haven't ever heard of a 2000 COA 50c

Nope. Never heard of it. According to Greg Mac's catalogue and all info that I have found, the only 2000 50c pieces issued were the Royal Visit and the Millenium coin.

I have checked with several coin dealers, and they no of no Coat Of Arms coin issued for this year.

If you have one I would be very interested in seeing it.

Drat! Went back to look more closely at the piccies...

ALL GONE!

Unicorn · February 21, 2014, 06:21:27 PM

Couldn't say for certain, but I think the COA one pictured was a 2006.

Goldseeker · February 21, 2014, 11:48:46 PM

So there does appear to be spare/incorrect space as first asked by me?

Unicorn · February 22, 2014, 12:07:14 AM

Yes Goldie, I believe so. From memory of Interest's photos they had 2 holes for the 2000 Millennium.

The first next to the 1999 and showing the mintage of 16m odd. Then came the Royal Visit space then the second space for the Millennium with no mintage figure.

Goldseeker · February 22, 2014, 01:55:07 PM

At long last a straight answer to a straight question.

Many thanks Unicorn.

Now I can go back to DANSCO and inform them of their error.

Steveqld · February 22, 2014, 05:50:33 PM

They may already be aware of it but just haven't fixed it. I suspect this is the album you have:

Those pre-labeled pages only go up to 2003.

The more recent Deluxe Album which has pre-labeled pages up to 2012 shows the correct labeling and includes the RV obverse.

Given DANSCO is a US company they probably couldn't be bothered correcting and reprinting the earlier album.

Unicorn · February 22, 2014, 06:10:23 PM

Steve, yes the first pic is the same as the one that was posted earlier.

The more recent one looks a lot better!

So it would appear that they really meant to put two spaces in the first one for the 2000 RV (Obverse and Reverse), rather than two for the Millennium.

So glad you posted that as it really clears it up.
