hopefull
I was NOT referring to YOU as being a " donkey " at all. Nobody on this invaluable information site is here to insult or demean ANYONE. My play on words was in reference to my recent post on another thread - which you may or may not have read - regarding an obvious counterfeit ( import ) 1923 Australian half penny sold for $1477 odd plus $6.80 postage. You might like to read my post about that 1923 half penny, along with references to the many 2000 $1 being " assisted to become like the mule 2000 $1 " in back sheds.
For your benefit, and by the way, WELCOME , the more varied posts written and read about ANY Australian coin subject the better we can all become a little bit more informed, whether we agree or disagree about what is written in the posts.
Regardless of this, all posts are more than welcome especially from new contributors like YOU.
Don't know what I'm talking about? After over 50 years of being a passionate collector, and seller, there are times when I'm grateful to learn something new because it's nice to occasionally be taken back to my distant past " apprenticeship "days.
So, hopefull, enjoy the numismatic journey ahead of you.

My apologies to Squire. I think I just confused you with squaremealroundplate, because your names both start with "squ".

...no worries Hercules.
It's good to see some gentlemanly behaviour here. I am not impressed with the poor manners displayed during this topic discussion.
In my opinion I think it is insulting and sexist to belittle women and girls and write "They realy(sic)are a bunch of girls" within the context of this topic.
I wonder what the women and girls who visit the Coin Community Forum and have read the contents of this topic think of this expression?

Thanks, Squire. I'm still trying to figure out what a "puller" is. I obviously don't get out enough to know what it means, but I strongly suspect it isn't a compliment.

Hi Hercules I have checked up the term "Puller" on Wikipedia. There are a few meanings for this word: A kind of fish A particular kind of tool (eg. a wire strecher) A person eg. Chesty Puller, a United States Marine Corps Officer during World War 2 and the Korean War. The most decorated Marine in the history of the Corps. In computer gaming - a character in an MMORPG whose primary task in a party is to get the attention of the enemies and hand it off to the tank. These are mostly rather neutral, if not inspiring meanings Squire

Thankyou for your input Squire. I realise these images are still not 100% but maybe someone can supply more information for me. There is a couple of earlier posts by--Jeff on11/30/2012 And Steve on12/01/2012 which contains a link which shows a 50c piece just like this one and claim it to be a Ramstrike Error.

Your link is broken by the ellipsis in the middle. I recommend fixing it so people can see what you're talking about.

Hi Hopefull In cases where I am not able to photograph my coin very well, I have found it useful to scan this using a computer printer. Here you can control the resolution and I normally set that as 600 by 600 dpi. Below is an example of one of my coins that I scanned using a computer printer. I chose this option as I had trouble taking a photo of this very shiny and reflective coin. Squire

After the first lot of photos I was thinking "post mint damage" but after the second lot of photos I am leaning towards "ramstrike". The photos really need to be much better though to have any certainty.
