On this topic, is there a list of relative scarcity of LG vs SM SD's for all years - many sources state the basics of the varieties, but no indication as to quantities?

From memory does Gregs book state about $30-$40. I have been running this morning, in the veg patch all day and now drinking beers so this could be well off! lol

The value of an object is what an individual is prepared to pay for it. Some people are tight, some splash the cash, some know what they are doing, some don't. Some people are us. What would you pay for it. I ask you this question...
...I am away for a beer. Getting too deep for a Sat!

Agree with dibby33 Unfortuantely, unless it's an incused 50c there is not much of a market for variety coins or error coins (except major errors) despite what it is listed for in any book or catalogue A book is just a guide and the market dictates worth....right now, and I hopr this changes, you'd be lucky to get 0.99 on ebay for it Consider more the value it gives to you as a collector - that's the real value of the coin |

A minted variety collector would pay more than the catalogue value for it...but not excessive as suggested.
The CV is $2 for the standard.
Is it rare? or scarce for that matter?
It's not UNC so it's not worth much more. But it all depends on a lot of the deciding factors.
To me it's like a low or high serial that is if this coin is scarce (e.g, there'll be below 5,000 (lower) or above 995,000 (upper) serial numbers I'd collect if they were in awesome condition (being 10,000 out of every 999,999 notes).
If it was a extremely high or extremely low serial (e.g below 100 or above 999,900) I'd hold onto it in any reasonable condition (Fine or above) because there's only 500 per 999,999 notes.
I'll put it in terms of banknotes for the year 2005, & put it down to a certain denomination $20:
2005 - $20 Note - 76,799,920 printed: 2 x runs
AA - DA; serials 000,001 through to 999,999
DB - GB; serials 080,001 through to 999,999
In twenty polymers, each run is made up of 40 prefixes, therefore there are 80 prefixes.
In this case there are only really 40 x low serials (because people probably wouldn't go for 80,000 as a low serial, unless if they know the true stats, but even still they'd maybe go for 80,001-80,500 in the last prefix: GB). With the high serials, there would be 80 x high serials. So:
Low serial numbers 40 (prefixes) x 500 (very low serial numbers) = 20,000
High serial numbers 80 (prefixes) x 500 (very high serial numbers) = 40,000
20,000 based on the print run of 76,799,920 is 0.026%.
40,000 based on the print run of 76,799,920 is 0.052%.
If you were to go to a low serial of 5,000 that would be 40 x 5,000 = 200,000 being 0.26%
If you were to go to a high serial of 5,000 that would be 80 x 5,000 = 200,000 being 0.52% (much more likely but still a 1 in nearly 200 chance).
I hate boring you guys, but I love talking the stats to make my point, because a lot of the time it's the way I see things.
