Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 10/21/2020 8:01 pm Due to the lettering on the edge being reversed plus the very noticeable dings on 2 of the coins 'corners' at 12 & 6 there is no doubt that someone has tried to make this into an 'error' coin, but all they've achieved is a 100% PMD. Probably also ruined a 20c coin in the process Sorry, not a mule, not an error, just a spender, worth 50c life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff

Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 10/24/2020 9:10 pm Looks like a damaged rim - possibly using a 20 cent piece. Report this Post to the Staff
Charl Valued Member Australia 81 Posts	Posted 10/25/2020 04:57 am Quote: g'day ..im Bob and I'm new here My personal opinion: If the AUS is bulging in the coin, I think it would be PMD If the AUS is bulging out, then I think there is high possible for error Report this Post to the Staff
triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9419 Posts	Posted 10/25/2020 07:22 am Like NEVOL said above, the AUS is backwards and that would indicate that someone has held another coin on this, possibly a 20c and stuck it with a hammer, so as to leave the imprint on the 50c coin. Otherwise they may have just squeezed it in a vice. Either way it's described as a shed job. Steve :) Report this Post to the Staff

petef7365 Valued Member Australia 128 Posts	Posted 10/26/2020 12:42 am I agree with coaster. It looks like force has been applied with a 20 cent piece (reverse lettering) If it was an error..... Ugly error lol Keep searching and good luck, Chm8Tin2! Report this Post to the Staff
