What is the rarest Australian 50 cent coin?
The 50 cent ‘millennium’ coin is one of the hardest errors to spot and is also known as the ‘incuse flag millennium’ coin. The mistake affects the Cross of St. Andrew on the Union Jack which is sunk into the coin rather than raised in the widely circulated version.
What is the value of a 1982 Australian 50 cent coin?
A pristine proof 1982 50c could fetch about $20 while the silver coin from the 1989 Masterpieces in Silver set would get about the same. If you’re lucky enough to find a circulated 1982 Commonwealth Games 50c in your change please buy yourself a very small chocolate bar with it because it’s worth exactly 50c!
What is a 1998 50 cent piece worth?
The standard 1998 clad half dollars in circulated condition are only worth their face value of $0.50. These coins only sell for a premium in uncirculated condition. Both the 1998 P half dollar and 1998 D half dollar are each worth around $3 in uncirculated condition with an MS 63 grade.
What is the value of a 1977 Australian 50 cent coin?
A pristine proof 1977 50c could fetch $20 to $30 while the silver coin from the 1989 Masterpieces in Silver set would get about the same. A circulated 1977 Silver Jubilee 50c coin is worth, somewhat sadly, 50c.
How do I sell rare Australian coins?
