nealeffendi Pillar of the Community Australia 852 Posts	Posted 11/30/2012 7:42 pm Read an old Australian Coin Review (Dec 1988) and on page 26 in a list of coins for auction I read this: Lot 124 "Australian 50c 1983 with 12 teeth like projections around edge very unusual". The estimate was $200. It got me The only similar error that I could think of was for 20 cent coins on Hong Kong blanks, but what foreign coin would be of the size of a 50 cent coin? I realised that either Steve would have this coin or he would really really want it to complete his collection. Any ideas? Report this Post to the Staff

the-purple-penny Pillar of the Community Australia 515 Posts	Posted 12/01/2012 5:48 pm Agree with the above, my coin, my pic Very cool errors to have too, they can pierce through the cardboard 2x2's easy. Back when I was using cardboard 2x2's I reinforced them with Eagle Mount mylar on the pointy side! Report this Post to the Staff
