The version of the COA 50 cent in the 2012 proof set is gold-plated - so where did this cat find this standard finish CuNi - or should this be treated as suspect ? Any ideas ? Thanks....

I don't usually collect baby sets so I forgot about them as a source.... thanks for setting me straight flippy & appleangel07... Be nice to have due to rarity but not sure about spending $120 or so which is also what the single coin was listed for... thanks ! Report this Post to the Staff

xevious New Member Australia 17 Posts	Posted 07/01/2013 07:37 am Ah yes I got the 2006 proof set for that nice round 50 center but neglected to consider also chasing down the probably rarer COA proof for that year.... thanks for the tip... But... This coin collecting - not to mention the banknotes - is a real never-ending pandora's box... I thought collectings LPs (records) was bad.... Getting every coin 1966-2013 is not easy - esp with all the multitude of new releases.... Report this Post to the Staff
