I have noticed may people enjoy collecting these coins, including myself. I was just wondering how many of these coins members have. Also it has been mentioned that they are becoming harder to find. I have found this (and Jeff), is anybody else finding the same? I just thought I would get everyones thoughts on the topic in the one area. Happy new year everybody (bit late)!  |

Have you looked at any of the proof sets available in some of the shops
according to Maccas about 50% of the proof sets had the large head design in them.

I have a few of these coins now. I have hoarded some and sold some. I was wondering what people consider there value to be! Any thoughts? I have sold some of these for as low as $2.50 but at one point I sold a sheet at $13.50 each. At the moment they seem to be around the $2.50 area.

I found one the other day but there was a new girl at work and she hadnt seen one let alone have one so I gave it to her. A freind up Canberra way is finding a lot at the moment. I have kept some for me but sold around 50 last year for $13 each . Prices have dropped since then but I will hold on to what I have now. Happy hunting  |

They seem to be easier to find down south. Nothing much happening with them here in Brisbane. I do have some but wouldn't be disappointed if I happened across one now & then, it keeps the interest in searching alive to make a 'find'. |

Only ever found one in Brisbane also. Have bought a few recently from ebay for $3.00- $6.00 in good VF- Good EF, and noticed a bulk lot of 10 selling for $29 or so. Really after the large 50 cent 04 now, so will have to keep checking for broken down mint sets. Not really the same as finding one I know, but don't think any of the 50 cent large went into circulation. Happy hunting all |

Well done justa.... farnby...I've been looking for a 2004 Large Head 50¢ for over 2 yrs, haven't seen one yet, good luck, I hope you find one.  I've found 6 x 2004 large head 20¢ in Brisbane, but none now for over a year. It seems they've all migrated down south. |

Does anyone have a photo comparsion of the 2004 20 and 50 cents for the small and big head? I find it a bit difficult to visualize at the moment.

gx.. the easiest way to see the diff is to check the A's in the text. On the Large Head the A has a sharp point at the top, on the small head type its flat.
I'll send you a PM with a picture attached.
