The 1966 round 50c is the centrepiece of any 50c collection - it's a must have.

Contrary to popular belief, they arent very rare (like 40 million were made), but since they are silver, they are worth around $10 in average condition. Nearly all dealers are very interested in buying these coins off the public and quite a few people have hoards of them lying around.

since they're from 1966 I'd say they're pretty rare.

Oh I actually think my dad has one! He found it when we were renovating. It was scratched and gross though

It's probably a novelty item - from the looks of things, I would say it was made by a mould as opposed to being minted.

It's still worth its weight in silver though.

I havent done anything related to numismatics lately (I've missed the last two major auctions) and I kind of miss it, so I'm going to bump this thread. Show us what you have people.

Also, I cant believe that this thread is nine months old.

Here is another one to look out for, a 2000 Millenium 50c incuse version (pictured on the left). They are worth about $100 if you can find one in good condition.

I found an australian penny from 1920.
Don't think it's worth much though

 

[Thief]

What about old $50 notes? The paper ones. If they're not in pristine condition are they still worth anything more than $50?

 

[obliviousninja]

I have jack all, besides a lot of coins that differ from the generic ones, which aren't even that old.

It depends on the condition and the variant - there are three types of 1920 Pennys. Two arent worth much except in high grade, whereas one can fetch $500 in average condition. Post a picture and I'll give you an idea.

It depends on the prefix (the three letters before the serial number).

I've got YXQ and YUY.

You're out of luck . But, they might be worth a little above face value depending on the signature combo.

Thanks anyway!

This is wrong, there are actually eight variants - some are quite rare actually. So now I am curious to see what you have MadHarris.

Thanks anyway!

You win some, you lose some.

 

[obliviousninja]

Enoil, caz i post a pic of my coins. Most of them (if not all) won't be worth more than face value. brb.

 

[obliviousninja]

 

[enoilgam]

Check the Millennium one to see if it is the incused type.

 

[Parvee]

not really old change but i think the new $2 coin with the purple ring looks pretty cool
