I have been sending some coins off for trade and found this 2001 50 cents by chance as I have been hoarding all commemorative coins I could find - Centenary of Federation (not those state coins). I was about to sent this out if I was any sleepier. Anyways, this is the coin and I think it looks amazingly clear to me that this is a doubling: Anyone come across anything like this? I don't remember seeing any similar examples.

Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 06/06/2009 5:10 pm Doubling errors seem to be much more popular in the US than they are here. I don't usually bother about them unless they are pretty spectacular, like the 2007 50¢ reverses where the die was still used, even though it appeared to be worn out. On many of these, the bottom half of the coin, particularly the 50 is ridiculous! I'm also a hoarder of the fat 'Millennium' 50,s, also called Candleabra I's. Quite a few $1 coins have the Q's nose doubled. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
Fulvio New Member Australia 14 Posts	Posted 01/06/2010 9:52 pm Quite a lot of the Fed 50's are doubled, on one side or both (ditto for state coins). The most significant would be the "Fat 5", but I seem to recall I found around 30 different types of errors on this coin, with multiple examples of each. I do keep doubling errors, but it seems very few others do. Perhaps because they're so common? :( Report this Post to the Staff
