The rims look a bit like road kill, surprising when the rest of the coin is OK,
a few knicks in Lizzie's cheek.
Is it possible to get one out of an unmolested mint set? Do they come in MS66 or better from a mint set?

Here are some straight out of UNC sets - acouple of them might make the grade   |

I have noticed it is hard to get these early 50c coins without some damage to the rims. IMO it doesn't detract too much. 1973 is perhaps the worst year IMO. The rims are often poorly struck and get damaged easily, this leads to a lot of scuff marks in the fields.

It would have to be 64 or better AA. Its very nice. I dont think the scuffs detract too much.

Wow 266.50 ended..... Really surprised it got a 66 with rims like that, I have have heaps of 64's and 65's that are pretty much perfect, am I missing something ? Maybe the grader felt generous on that day lol
