I got a call from an old guy today getting rid of some of his old coins & I took ten round 50 cent pieces from him at $7 per piece.

To my amazement, when I got home I had a bit of a squiz & I saw what looked like a black pen or fine texta mark. I pulled out the loupe for a closer inspection &...

La di da...it was a flaw. Here's some photos, I've never really seen many flaws in silver planchets, especially the 1966 round fifty cent piece.









Anyone else got any error 1966 50 cents?

If I'm remembering correctly Peter Strich had two or three round 1966 50c with similar planchet flaws when he attended a stamp, postcard & coin fair in Adelaide a few weeks ago. I may not be remembering correctly but I'm fairly sure it was him I definitely saw some anyway.

So it's almost 10 years later, and I found this topic searching for anyone else with 1966 50 cent error coins.
That is a nice planchet flaw you have shown. Apparently, 50 cent errors are as rare as rocking horse poo.
My father had a keen eye for errors back in the day, and amongst his collection were 30 x round 50's. 9 have errors, mostly minor delam / cracks, one with a small Cud, one with a fine die crack, and 3 with some significant cracking and delamination.
Apologies up front for the pics, still finding my way.
Heres the first, when time permits I'll post the others.
This one has a flaw starting in the roo leg, making it's way up through the shield wreath and star to the rim.
It also has a tiny strike through on the obverse, but pretty insignificant.
Cheers ttkoo

Hi, I found this one in my stack of 50 cent coins. I to thought it very rare to find a flaw in the 1966 50 cents. It is a rather large peel.

to the CCF, Cookie28b! That's a nice lamination on your 50 Cent. You should flatten the staples on your 2X2 so that they don't scratch other coins.

Hi Cookie28b. Welcome to the community. That is a great looking coin and a terrific find. I expect someone who collects those sorts of things would pay good $ for it. Lucky you! It looks like a nice specimen even without the peel.
