Very well spotted trout!

On p156 OLYMPILEX should be OLMYPHILEX
On p157 there's a * in reference to the Volunteer's Security Roll value but there's no accompanying footnote.

1981 20¢ mintages were:
1981: 65,503,000
1981: 50,000,000, Wales
1981: 50,000,000, Canada v-3.5 Claw

yet the entry for Canberra is the total of all three, 165,503,000

The reference to the 2006 50 years of TV "S" mintmark Sydney fair Silver Proof $1 coin on page 162 should be removed as this coin doesn't actually exist .
ALL the ANDA silver proofs were "A" mint marked for this issue :ok:

I'm assuming the mess of the 1919-20 pennies has been mentioned already, an MS64RB 1919 penny sold for close to $10k on eBay recently.

Also the Melbourne mint didn't produce any half pennies until 1923, the 1920 was struck in Sydney - there is thus no such thing as the 1920 "pattern" half penny.

Page 43 the 1857 overdate pic appears to be the dropped 7 variety rather than an overdate.
Pages 45 to 49 - some of the photos have been mixed up eg page 45 the two reverses are of the same coin.
Page 43 - the double R half sov - it would be more correct to describe it as R over E.
Page 43 - 1864 Arabic 1 half sov - probably more correct to describe it as "letter I instead of 1".
1933/2 overdate half penny - The jury may still be out but there should be some mention of it.

I wouldn't blame him

Before anyone else is tempted to join in on this off-topic discussion....don't. This thread is for corrections to Greg's book and nothing else. Any further off-topic posts in this thread will be deleted.
