Krause make a LOT of errors in certain area's... But then again, you are trying to cram a century or so of coins into the book! Report this Post to the Staff

Brissyboy Valued Member Australia 335 Posts	Posted 06/02/2008 11:37 pm Catalogues often use the proof images to illustrate a coin because to take a photo of a shiney uncirculated coin does not produce a good image for print reproduction. Maccas will use proofs unless there was no proof issued. The 2000 Royal Visit 50c was only available in two finishes - uncirculated Copper Nickel and Proof .999 Silver. The key feature about this coin is the unique once only effigy of Queen Elizabeth II on obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
