2000 Millennium 50c Incuse Variety

purplepennyhunter · February 25, 2014, 12:58:06 PM

I don't seem to be able to find a dedicated thread to this variety so here is one. There has been a lot of discussion here and on CCF in various threads about this coin.

Eccentric (who is a member here also) posted on CCF some key info to the history of this coin which I've just added to the wiki entry.

I just sent an email to PCGS to try and get these coins attributed correctly .
I however have noticed that they have updated the description of my AU58 coin to "Millennium Relief Flag "
Alas that isn't what was printed on my slab :cray:

This is a step in the right direction but it is still incorrect, I hope my email assists in getting these coins slabbed with the correct attribution on them in future :ok:

hey Trout
Did you have to pay more for the variety attribution?

I honestly don't know, I will have to have a squiz at the PCGS site :ok:
Looks like an extra $24 for that :dodgy:

They are all the same. It's not a new number for the variety.
pop lookup

I noticed that but at least they changed the description to "Millennium Relief Flag " instead of just "Millennium".
Like I said it is a good start but not perfect yet, At least they have made some attempt to sort this out.

WOW
14 coins at MS66 and better

That's not correct. There is no differentiation to the standard coin.

OK,
I was looking at a MS68 coin and it isn't an incused coin.
Any idea of how many of these have been graded so far?

purplepennyhunter · February 25, 2014, 02:36:21 PM

Well Mark's MS64 doesn't have an image. Emu666 might have an idea, not sure if he's about or holidaying in Bali!

Relief is the normal coin guys. The fact that they've changed the name suggests they are making the change to recognise the incuse variety with a new coin number.

They'll most likely be regular coins from a mint set.

I hope they do this in the next few weeks because I have another one in the system at PCGS :angel:

PPH, you might need to correct the wiki entry. Wasn't the CCF posters talking about Trouts coin at $750 in AU58. So $100 should be $1,000 for any that are uncirculated.
Might want to see if any poster with an Unc example will put some nice images in the wiki.

You are welcome to add these to the wiki if you like, I would do it myself but I am clueless :angel:
