They looked at what was in their till and said they had run out.
For it to be truly "random" the staff would have to be restricted from seeing what they are handing out, so they could have no ability to meddle (accidentally or deliberately) with the random chance.
I doubt anyone would have a problem with one customer asking at the checkout and being given a coin or two.

I thought maybe you had spotted something I had missed.
It would be great if it is a genuine error which people have a chance to find in change, rather than mint sport, but I do not hold much hope of that.

"In my humble opinion it looks like a professional creation"
What makes you think that?
How would it have been created.
At this point I am thinking "it was made at the mint like that", but until more show up in circulation (and I think they should have by now) it could be mint sport.

"Not circulated" and "current owner paid for it - not found it" both lean towards "mint sport" rather than away from it.

I am not sure.
I could be wrong but it does not look like normal damage to me.

After the first lot of photos I was thinking "post mint damage" but after the second lot of photos I am leaning towards "ramstrike".
The photos really need to be much better though to have any certainty.

50c coins with those marks on the edge have been around for at least several years.
Unfortunately, it is post mint damage.

Congratulations Squire Wilson!
andymcblane, the 1985 50c is pretty hard to find, but you will find one if you keep looking.

I believe this is a "grease filled die". It is reasonably common on those coins, but not very common on most other coins.

Another new member with a single post in this thread.
Someone who is into coins enough to spend a lot on a rare, unusual, PCGS slabbed coin, but only joined and posted in this thread now.
Does this seen strange to anyone else?

Well done!
The miss strike is much harder to find than a 1972 5c.
