    Did they also add something in metal content that scanner can tell if real or counterfeit. I know a year or two ago a few tons of boxed up and ready to ship were found. In cargo ship or a port in France or Italy Maybe a different country.

    No, it's just the same, I don't see how anything but an overhaul of the design will fix this problem though. The mint won't be too bothered, look how long the £1 coins have been forged for !

    Just wish it was a 1939 Proof. That would make it worth more than spot SS silver. :)

    First Aussie florin :) Pretty much only missing the crown now. The reverse is super nice, the obverse has some beating.

    Picked up this Australia 50 cent coin at the Portland ANA show last weekend.

    1970_au_50cent_obv.jpg 1970_au_50cent_rev.jpg

    It's my birth year. Appear to be uncirculated and good cartwheel luster. Most of those scratches are on the holder.

    Won this the other day, another important coin for my collection. OK not the greatest condition but for its type it's not too bad. Hoping to get one more this month, coin funds still slim as with getting a new car a need new roof bars etc for when we go camping since it's coming into season now.
