I don't recall what year Australian coins stopped being 80% silver, maybe the bids are only for silver content?  |

LOL - I saw this on ebay last night and had a good old laugh... it is only the mangled 20c that is for sale so NO SILVER content at all! The text in the description is mis-leading and deceptive - and (in my humble opinion) this looks to be deliberate... |

silver in 20c coins?
I dont think so...
967 20 cent .Photo Taken Over A 50 cent coin.
In 1966 circular Australian 50 cent coin a one year type .
It was replaced with a dodecagonal (12 sided) Issue in 1969,
No fifty cent coins having been minted in 1967 or 68.
A number of 67-68 dated patterns exist in both round & dodecagonal format.
I wonder if this 20 cent coin slipped through? have a good for yourself.
If you think what I think then I must be right. please allow 2-3 day's for posting after sale?
and that doesn't make sense to me..... how about you?

Enlil. The seller is being deceptive. The information itself is factual to a point, however they are trying to confuse the reader by supplying unless information about 50c coins (and placing a 50c in the picture, for what purpose?) and then try to sell a damaged 20c coin (worth 20c....just) implying that it is some sort of error. This one is poor form!

If you think what I think then I must be right. The seller has been very careful not to tell an outright lie, but it is as misleading as hell. I suspect that the buyer is going to be very disappointed that his 20 cent peice isn't dodecagonal. I would like to introduce these ebay buyers to my Nigerian investment scheme.  |

I think he is more misleading himself rather than other people. Might be one bob short of a shilling ;-)
