On many 1966 50c coins, including proofs (according to some decimal researchers) there are the remains or "remnants" of the Double Bar can be found. With over 3,000 sets of dies being used it is inevitable that some variation exists. Unlike later double bars these are very indistinct and difficult to see. These should be considered differently to the double bars (Ghost Bars perhaps?), a separate variety almost. Double Bars are quite distinct and young sharp eyed persons can easily spot them. To class these the same as something only visible under magnification should be re-considered. There is proper double bars on 1966 50c coins but they are on a very, very rare version, the 1966 London Pattern   Edited by nicwinner

My lists are only meant to be a guide for those people who are interested in them, whether they choose to search for all the varieties or not is up to the individual. Faint double bars are equally as notable as die fill, where parts of the devices are missing, so if the bars have not been totally removed from some dies, and as a consequence faint bars are visible, there may well be some people who would like to know about it. I've also found faint bars on 1993, so I'll add them to my original 50c list for the benefit of anyone interested. I can't edit my original lists as it's been over 24 hrs since I posted them, but I'll make a note of any alterations necessary and post the amended lists again in about a week. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved
