It's only an error if the damage occurred during production of the coin.

Those photos show a 50 cent piece with a partially reeded edge - it's something that has come up here a few times and I don't remember the cause but I remember the consensus being that it was not a production error.

For this to be a genuine error coin, what has to be considered is just how a feature such as this could possibly occur while the coin was being minted.

The toothed area is straight - Are any Aussie coins minted with a straight toothed rim - No, so where in the minting process could this have occurred?

Do any Aussie 50c coins (other than 1966) have a toothed rim - No, so where in the minting process could this have occurred?

There's just no explanation how a coin would/could leave the Mint in this condition.

So whichever way you look at it, this coin has to be PMD.

I'm sure you will eventually find some errors, so hang around and keep looking.
