One or the other!!! Both matey.... Being a lover of silver, it just might interest you to know that other than the "Silver Jubilee" 50 cents (cupro nickel), the others are minted in Silver.

lim118 Pillar of the Community Australia 1529 Posts	Posted 01/06/2006 10:11 am Adding three more to this thread... 2003 50th Anniversary of the Coronation of QEII This one is in Aluminium Bronze and was minted exclusively for inclusion in a PNC. A silver proof was also minted. 2003 Australia's Volunteers Available in cupro-nickel proof (Proof Mint Sets), Silver Proof (Fine Silver Proof Sets) and GEM Unc (Wedding Sets). 1995 Weary Dunlop One of my favorites. This 50 cents coin was restruck in 2003 for inclusion in the RAAMC issue commemorating 100 years of the Royal Australian Army Medical Corps. Report this Post to the Staff
crystalk64 Pillar Of The Community 3147 Posts	Posted 01/06/2006 12:58 pm lim118 Can you post a picture of the 1966 Double Bar variety? I had one come in this morning and not sure where those bars are? If they are immediately above the head of the bird then I have multiples of bars? Report this Post to the Staff

crystalk64 Pillar Of The Community 3147 Posts	Posted 01/06/2006 2:27 pm lim118 I found the two bars after tilting the coin and getting more light at an angle. They are weak on this particular half but they are there!!! I seem to have an awful lot of detail on the Emu's head, or should I say the top of his head, compared to pictures I have seen! Guess I am going to have to get that Australian guidebook pretty quick! Report this Post to the Staff

Cruzi New Member Australia 45 Posts	Posted 01/21/2006 8:02 pm The double bars are thought to be a master punch flaw that generally was removed on the dies. In some years like 1966, 1969 and 1999 you can on some coins see "remanents" of them. 1979 and 1980 have quite prominent double bars. Some collectors still regard these remanents as double bars, others do not. To me, the double bar must be as pictured, calling remanents visible only under magnification double bars is wrong.
