enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 01/23/2012 7:35 pm I don't know out the 01 50c but the 78 20c is a bit different. As the 9 and 8 seems to be worn but the 7 isn't then I would say they may have been weakly struck to begin with. Report this Post to the Staff
4ddrft New Member Australia 45 Posts	Posted 01/23/2012 7:37 pm Yeah I thought it was suss that the number inbetween wasnt worn down. The rim isn't worn any more then normal either. Report this Post to the Staff
appleangel07 Pillar of the Community Australia 1607 Posts	Posted 01/23/2012 8:41 pm The 2001 50 cent has fairly significant doubling in the date,does it have doubling on the rest of the legends etc ? it does appear so by the IA you can see in the pic. The 78 20 cent is weak strike could be caused by grease or similar,not really significant enough to be worth anything IMO. Edited by appleangel07 01/23/2012 8:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
4ddrft New Member Australia 45 Posts	Posted 01/23/2012 10:06 pm the word australia and the date are doubled. elizabeth II is perfect and I cant see any doubling on the head. Report this Post to the Staff
appleangel07 Pillar of the Community Australia 1607 Posts	Posted 01/23/2012 10:50 pm Interesting that there is no doubling in the effigy but still really obvious doubling in the legends,nice coin that I personally keep. Report this Post to the Staff

thesandpit Valued Member 119 Posts	Posted 02/07/2012 03:33 am The doubling on the 2001 50c is caused by Die Deterioration. Here's an explanation (the examples are U.S. coins but you can see the similarities): http://doubleddie.com/144843.html Report this Post to the Staff
