I am glad you are enjoying them. I will soon be making some videos about how some of these coins have fared as investments. The price of these coins vary greatly but quite a few are reasonably affordable in my opinion.

@@kevcump62 looking forward to it. Thanks Kev.

How do I find out how much is it worth

If it’s NOT. Wavy, it’s worth 20c because millions of them were minted. If it is a wavy the best I can suggest it to check eBay for similar coins that have been sold recently.

Thank you

I have Coin Australia ...for sell

Why have a decagon when you can have a dodecahedron. Interesting question. The first Australian 50 Cent coin was of course round that that didn’t work out well because it was confused with the 20c coin. The mint had to go with a new shape. I don’t know for sure why the 12 sided coin was chosen But I know making sure coins were suitable for vending machines was a consideration. I suspect at 12 sided coin rolls just a little better than a 10 sided one.

@@kevcump62 The 50p coin used in the UK has seven sides and works in vending machines. The 20p coin also has seven sides. Yes, I agree that the original, round, Australian 50 cents was not much bigger than a 2/- (later 20 cent) coin. Even though it was 80% silver, originally, that did not make it much different to look at. Australia never had a half-crown, although New Zealand did. There were, of course, sometimes problems distinguishing a half-crown from a 2/- coin.

Everything you said is true. I do not quite understand why the Brits went for the 7 sided coin for the 50p. What I do know is that the 7 sided arrangement for that coin was decided on after one of the people who was on the team making the decisions was some kind of engineer who had the smarts to work out a seven sided coin would roll well and work in vending machines. I agree, it makes perfect sense that our 50c coin should have been 10 sided to match up with the metric system, BUT with one proviso. If someone worked out using geometry and other engineering principles that it was more practical to go with the 12 sided coin, then I am prepared to go with the science. I am just glad we did not copy the British because I think our 50c coin is more elegant than the 7 sided British contemporary. Thanks for your comment. I love this stuff!

@@kevcump62 Thank you - yes, the twelve side, scallop edged Australian 50 cents looks more aesthetically pleasing. The 50p, of course, is worth twice as much. The modern 50p is much smaller than the original 50p, of course. We need a complete recoinage now. New Zealand had a radical recoinage. The 10 cent coin was reduced to the size of a 1 cent coin and made of copper. The 1, 2 and 5 cent coins were withdrawn.

Thanks for watching!

Exactly what I expected an alien might say! 🧐. But anyway, thanks and I am so glad you found my little video to be helpful. Hopefully you will keep visiting my channel.

Always good to know visiting aliens are watching the show. Keep collecting and enjoy the hobby👽

@@kevcump62 WOW, YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON ON HERE THAT HAS PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER, I'M IMPRESSED !. MY NAME IS ... SATT.

And there is even more to collect in the years that follow. That video is coming up shortly 😊

There are some cheaper, slightly smaller Holden and Ford 50c sets available from the following few years. You might like to check them out.

@@kevcump62 I will definitely have a look. I saw some carded sets of 11, not in the tin but without the 12th coin. That doesn’t put me off. Cheers.

So glad you enjoyed it. There is more NIFC video coming.😀

Thank you

Thakyou

@@kevcump62 yep, u do good vids thanks boss

@OPIXdotWORLD Thanks, I really appreciate the support😄

That’s great. Keep collecting 👍

Are you referring to the fifth coin down in the stack? If you are, you are a very observant person! And close enough to being correct for me to be impressed. The stack is made from Australian 5c coins. The stray I think you have spotted is a 2005 five pence. 👍

@@kevcump62 That's the one I was thinking of, thanks. The UK coins are very nice :)

I understand where you are coming from as it can be difficult, as you say, to find mintage numbers for - Not Intended For Circulation Coins. As it happens, I do have some information on this so a video on this is definitely on the cards. If this video goes ok I will definitely do the same for other denominations. Thanks for watching and commenting.👍

Truth!

You are so welcome. I was not sure people would like this one but it looks to be doing ok so far👍

I love coins in good condition that have the rainbow effect

Yes, I sometimes cast a wide net. This one is more directed at the new collector who might not be aware of some of the shenanigans that go on.😀

@@kevcump62 ....i have three of those raised 2012 poppy coins, did not know they came without the red colour...

I completely understand what you are saying because 500,000 seems a lot but there are a few reasons. The most important being that the coin was actually circulated. People got them in their change in the day and thought, “that’s different”. People just put them aside even if they were not collectors as such. A scarce but recognisable circulated coin will always trump an uncirculated coin.

Nothing of great value in those Australian coins Victo and I have no idea about other world coins.

Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to comment.😀

Thanks again for a terrific comment. Your comments are so on point that you have inspired me to make my next video about these dissimilarities and how they can be used to identify “Nail polish Poppies” for people new to the hobby.👍

They sure are

yes

It definitely reduces the value of the coin, if that is what you mean but it is far from uncommon. Many 2012 Red Poppies were circulated and got knocked around a fare bit resulting in damage including the loss of pigment. Having said that, having an imperfect Poppy is better than having no Poppy at all.

Still worth 2 bucks atleast I suppose 😂

Check eBay recent sales of this coin

That’s terrific Bruce. I really like your informative and interesting contributions. It sounds like you have an impressive collection.

Am I?

@@kevcump62 🔥🔥🔥

That’s great. Never clean it!

@@kevcump62 all good cheers mate

Thanks for watching 😃

Hi, I don’t do valuations but I recommend checking out allcoinvalues.com for great estimations of what your coin might be worth.

Good luck

It is!
