Has anyone else noticed this about this particular coin? Report this Post to the Staff

On my vacations in Australia in 2003 and 2018 I remember getting a couple of 1977 Jubilee 50c coins and thinking they were in much better condition than I would have expected!

Over time it has become a dud in terms of increased value and are gradually being released back into the population as people realise this. Almost every collection I've seen over the years has a few(and a lot more) of them. Still a very nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Yep,similar to the Charles/Diana Coins,in 50 years time they will probably be still worth 50c. These days unless its a extremely small mintage or has Gold/Silver content Coins will struggle to be worth more than face no matter what the condition. Report this Post to the Staff
Princetane Pillar of the Community 4628 Posts	Posted 08/08/2020 07:01 am I agree, mine is pretty much UNC. Also notice the 1970 Cook 50cents, 1966 Silver 50 cents (Usually EF/AU) seem to survive better than post 1994 50 cent coins - I have seen 2005 WW2 ones worn down to VF yet still shiny! Also see a lot of standard obverse coins dated before 1990 in F - VF condition and cloudy. These are not hoarded like the commems. Unlike NZ a lot of 20c and up Australian coins seem to have commem designs. We could learn from the Aussies. Report this Post to the Staff
