Just noticed that the Boer War and Cocos Island descriptors are on each other's image.

Welcome ArmarageX, Great work on putting the that collection together, I didn't know there was the other 2012 diamond jubilee above the 000 emergency service coin. I think the next step would put all varieties in there aswell as some of the 50's are coloured and gold plated. also others come in silver from sets and individually. Oh and ofcourse all the coat of arms years. You have done a great job and welcome to coin collecting. You have just made me realise I have a few holes in my database. You can check out my search function if you like. it may help you one day. http://oldcoinchest.com/search go here and under "Sub Category" select (50 cent non-circulated) and then click on "Type" and it will bring up the relative coins which you seem to have covered. Same deal for (50 cent) a bit down the page, click "Type" and select generic coat of arms, then click "Years" and it will have all the circulated years there. Confused? I am. Its helpful sometimes. Hope your are enjoying your new hobby
May your coin searches be fun and your gradings true

I am looking forward to see the 2015 50.50 Two Coin Set that  has been put back for release until the 16th I think.  I read this.

"The included 1966 50c Circulating Coin is an original and one of Australia's first coins introduced after decimalisation on 14 February 1966. It carries its own unique memories, as it has been handled, spent and circulated. just wondering what sort of condition the 1966 will be in.

Will it be any better than any of the ones I have, or am I just paying $50 for a 2015 proof with a "C" mintmark?

There is a mintage of 5,000 on this so I wonder how many of the 1966 originals they had held in stock. The one the mint has in the photo is of course uncirculated & not a mark on it.
Just have to wait & see, will it be worth sending off to be slabbed?

your just paying for the proof C MM 50c

Whatever it is - no doubt it will carry a healthy profit margin for RAM. ;)

Maybe some? I could be wrong but I thought not all of the original mintage ended up getting released.

Must say I'm impressed the packaging is excellent, the 1966 50 cent is AUnc very good condition surprised actually comes with a brief history of events & coins.

Impressed with a bit of RAM product.   Now THAT is saying something.

I can't comment on the coins yet as I have yet to receive mine.

I finally bought my 50c collection up to date today with the addition of the elusive 2002 Queens accession PNC. I am happy but my wife still has that confused look on her face trying to comprehend it all...
