I can see maybe a very slight hint of toning in the second pic but, generally the toning isn't coming through.

I do know that toning can be difficult to capture.

Most of the time for me, shooting at an angle (like the second pic) can reveal some of it. But that image has too many blown-out highlights to see it, I think.

Looks like a 1966 50 cent coin that would grade around AU58 and be worth $20
so better staying as a raw coin

The centre picture of slight rainbow toning shade is because block by the white bright light during capturing but the shade is on the entire surface actually viewing in reality to be honest


Someone told me that it should be graded in uncirculated condition and number rating is mint stake ms63 at least for this piece on another forum there

I agree that the glare is reducing the toning. I'm not familiar at all with this coin but there's a fine line between AU and MS.

It may be graded MS but if AU-58 has a $20 value, then I think low MS wouldn't garner much more. Like I said, I'm unfamiliar with this coin.

It is a very nice looking one though!

Those bad marks on the surface would not reduce rating grade so much because it was not phisically damages before circulating in the market still considered as uncirculated condition and noticed some of the silver coins with much bad marks graded as sixty seven selling on the websites there

Don't take this the wrong way but the coin imaged is a Bullion grade coin and worth the Melt value of the 80% Silver the coin contains.
If you are looking at a site that would grade this as a MS67 coin then you are looking at the wrong type of site.
Your coin has wear and obvious circulation marks and would grade at EF-AU at best.
Even knocked about uncirculated 1966 50c coins are considered as Bullion as the mintage of these was over 36 Million.

The silver coins which are common pieces of what I believe but not sure whether those are the bad mark or circulation mark on the surface myself confuse eventhough it is consider bullion coins and mintage are in large amount over million of you just mentioned and realise it now

Why send it for grading when you end up losing money on it? One can obtain an aUNC coin for about 20 dollars.

It isn't even MS. And I don't see any hint of PL or Rainbow toning.

Nice clear Double Bars behind the emu's head. Like the other Australian 50c : the 1979, 1980, and the rare 1981 Double bars.

The rainbow toning can be seen partially at on the right position showing on centre scan viewing at ninty degree by naked eyes in reality and just look at the tremendous shining luster keep rotating around surface on obverse at difference angle while holding it surely one of the most beautiful shining silver coin ever seen so far being as collector several years there


For double bars on the reverse side not sure whether is variety or not but seen other seller who mentioned about it posted the enlarge picture on the website my question is these double bars are consider rare enough on the piece there

One year type, Australia's only issued for circulation silver coin.

1966: The first year Australia's dollar (AUD) based decimal currency. Although quite common, never seen in circulation.

At 36 million issued, only slightly more than bullion value in high MS grades.

I like them; I have around a dozen of them. Don't know why, I am not a bullion coin collector.
