I have just been going through some bags of 50cents that I have lying around, and thought I would post this find. Closer investigation of what I thought was a scratch at the base of the roo's foot revealed a nice surprise. A lot of metal flow (not sure of the correct terminology), around the roo's legs, shield, and the 50 legend. Very messy, and a very rewarding find.

Fairly common on quite a few years due to the RAM continuing to use worn out dies (or so I believe).

I have it occurring on the following years.

1998 B&f
1999
2000 Mill.Yr
2001 CoF
2004
2007
2008
2011

agree Die Deterioration from I think 2004 onward I feel the RAM just reworked reverse dies. Sadly not that valuable :(, though I collect them :). I think we should start calling them the Sloppy 50 cents, I wonder if the RAM will then start to pick up on this.

If you look closely under the roos butt, and between the emu's legs, there are what I believe to be Die Polishing Lines. However, the coin "texture" is quite pimply. Could it be a re-worked die that "failed"?, very early in it's working life?

It's very obvious on that one.
I don't think rework of dies happens any more - probably just die fill coupled with over-use.
