The Coin Hunter Valued Member Australia 148 Posts	Posted 09/26/2012 12:17 am This may not be that hard to do but someone has gone to the trouble of doing every point of the dodecahedron on both sides of this 1974 50 cent coin. I'm quite impressed at the effort for no gain TCH Report this Post to the Staff

enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 09/26/2012 12:19 am I have one the same but it is a 1976. The 7 has nearly been completely scratched off. I think someone was trying to pass it of as a silver 66. Report this Post to the Staff
FNQ Pillar of the Community Australia 507 Posts	Posted 09/26/2012 12:55 am I fully agree with the thread title, and while enworbs find could have the potential to fool those unfamiliar, silver has a very distinctive toning that I haven't seen replicated in any CuNi coin.

ozcoins Pillar of the Community Australia 1005 Posts	Posted 09/26/2012 10:15 am I have one that was rounded off and the colour is more like silver too. I am sure it has been deliberately made to replicate a 1966. Report this Post to the Staff
