50 cents 1966

[DarkDaiver]

Hey guys, I just realised that 50c from 1966 are round. Does vending machines accept them? Because I didn't come across any of them for 5 months.

Vending machines -I don't know and don't care about that. They are 80 silver and the silver content is worth $7.95 as of last Friday. Best to keep them and, if you don't really want them, easy to sell for around bullion value.

Well vending machines are the main source of my Australian coins.
Where do you think I could get 1966 50c coin?

Well I can't help you now -I sold my last eleven spares on the weekend for $10 each (happy with that price).
However I am sure plenty of members here should be able to help out. Failing that there are always plenty on eBay but often at ridiculous prices.

Asking at a bank if any have been cashed in is a long shot as most tellers are aware of the value but sometimes it can pay off.

yeah banks are long shot.
I think I would try to get them from Australian in exchange for Soviet rubles when I get home

When will you be going home DD?

In a couple of month. But I have one commemaritive Soviet ruble here with me... 100 years from birth of Vladimir Lenin

[keldaw]

what are you looking for D D ??
are you wanting to swap it for a 66 round .
I have no idea what the SOVIET  RUBLE , is or what is the value of it ??
 is the value of it about $ 10.00 au dollars ?? about the same as an Australian  66 round ..

Don't worry DD, if it's a couple of months I'm sure you'll reach the 50 posts required for the wanted / buy / sell / swap ru(b)les of the forum.

A few years ago I walked into my  local WESTPAC and asked if they had any round 1966 50 cent coints.

Reply was:
Yes we have 52.
I bought 46 for $23 and the teller kept the remaining 6 coins.
I sold those 46 coins for $460 the next day!

If you do not ask you will never know!

Apply that same thought to $200 coins!

[JeffH]

I have picked up a couple of $200 coins from banks for face value. Not for a long while now.

I think Ruble is cheaper, but I would like to add something more and swap it...
The only coins left for me are
66 50c
2 dollar red polpy
2 dollar red circle.
so I think I can manage it with Soviet ruble and 2 commemaritive 2 euro coins.

Yes, all my six $200 gold coins came from the banks at face value over a period of time some years ago.

I was able to secure 27 x 1966 50c coins ages ago at my local bank and I have found several whilst noodling the 50c pieces looking for the 2010 rotated 50c coin.   I'm currently have 1,004 x 1966 50c pieces many of which are pictured somewhere on this forum under the heading Saturday Silver or something like that.

Banks are a favourite place to secure old coins.
