Man that's one big rim Cud, nice find, I like the ones that overlap like that, though it overlaps by more than you would normally see. |

Zaggy, that's a ripper of a Rim Cud. Actually, more than a rim Cud, and yes, I'd say you're a noodler. Nice find Farnby..never seen one of those in the flesh either. I guess that's what you could call 10¢ worth of 20¢. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

Found my first 2007 50c today!! 4 of them! hahaha! Also pulled a pretty much UNC 2005 WW2 50c... the 20c's are really drying up for me:
2005 Coming Home - 3 (1x basically UNC)
2001 CoF SA - 1
and a very neat 1994, 2000 and 2002.
$50/50c was more interesting:
2007 - four of them!
2005 WW2 - 2 (1x UNC)
2001 CoF Coat of Arms - both very neat
2000 Millenium - 1 (Not incuse, Nacyc, want to send me one? :) )
1995 Weary Dunlop - 1
And very neat examples of 1976 and 1974...
I'm hoping to strike some more 20c... 50c are kinda boring (no offence to those 50c lovers).

By the way, does anyone know about the 1993 Double Bar? I haven't heard of it, but it sure is weird seeing as the one I have found does have a double bar on it... Also, how much is the 1999 large obverse 10 cent worth? Thx for any help... |

With regard to the 10 cent 1999 large obverse, they would not yet attract a huge premium for a number of reasons, e.g., because they have come from circulation they are probably at best only EF, and they are also not that uncommon (say 1:20 or 30). These coins will come into their own after a few more years. They are definitely worth hanging on to. You should also be watching the 1999 reverse. Some of them have the largest Cud you will ever see on any coin. The Cud is between two of the three tail feathers. You can't miss it. With regard to double bars on 50 cent pieces. This is not an area of real interest to me, although I do look for them when noodling 50 cent pieces. I understand that they are only available in 1966, 1979 and 1980. The double bars are actually a continuation of the feathers (or whatever). They were ground out of dies due to some sort of problem they were causing. I believe that you can still find faint double bars on a number of years. I have no idea as to their value, other than to say they are collectable, and therefore would carry some sort of premium if you were to sell them. Edited by Yass

Hi Justa,
The double bars is a continuation of the reeds so was intended as part of the coin design. They were said to cause a weak spot on the dies so they were removed from the master hubs and dies during the striking of the 1966 coins, or at least they thought so. Poor work ended up leaving traces of the bars and in some cases the bars remained to turn up again some 13 years later.
You can find this on every year that has the regular coat of arms reverse, if you look for them.
None are as strong as the 79 and 80 double bars, so are not considered in any error or variety lists. Therefor, they don't hold any value to collectors, and in fact, you would be frowned on to sell one of these other years as a double bar. Still, I also put the stronger examples aside while noodling, just out of pure curiosity.

justa..Re the Double Bar coins, I know that they exist in 1997, but don't have one. I do have 2 x 2004 where the DB's are just visible, granted they are faint, but still visible.
An aussie collector on another forum has found faint DB's in these years: 1983, 1993, 1996, 1997 and 2004, so keep looking. I've only got the 2004, 1979, 1980.

I have noticed weak bars on 1971, 1973, 1974, 1976, 1978, 1979, 1981 COA, 1983(pretty strong ones), 1984, 1993, 1996, 1997(pretty strong ones), 2004( pretty strong ones), and 2006(pretty strong ones). In addition, on many of the dates above, it is also notable that some have just a single bar, usually just the bottom one.
I have talked to others who have seen the weak double bars on all COA 50 cent, so I guess, the more you look, the more you'll find. On any of the ones listed here, none were as strong as those found on the 1979 or 1980 double bars, the closest being the 1983, 1997 and 2004 ones.
Has anyone found well defined bars ,as on the 1979 or 1980, on other dates?

Today kinda sucked again... I need to find new fishing area's! I threw pretty much everything half interesting back cos it was banged up or something, the only interesting thing was a Rim Cud on a 2000 20c Obv, from 3 o'clock to 5 o'clock. Only other Honourable mention was a Bradman 20c, CoF ACT 50c and 2000 Royal Visit 50c. And of course all those coins came from the first bags I checked! I wonder why my luck has swung so much since this time last week? |
