The Original SILVER 1966 Round 50 Cent Pieces of Australia

Many people are surprised to learn that the first and only circular Australian 50 cent pieces also contained 80% silver. This makes them an ideal coin for stakers and collectors alike.

I wish I could go back in time when they released that 50 cent piece and grab them all 😄

The 1966 is one of my favourite silver coins to stack too! Cheers and thanks for sharing Matt 👍🏻😊

Hi Matt, just started collecting, late in I have been watching vids on noodling and too be honest they can be repetitive but I found PJs Coin Capers and I like that he explains what he is looking for. His style fitted in with my searching as an eBay reseller (boo hiss I hear from some people), but I have now become a bona fide collector and it is great to have found your vids as they have so much info and news content. Keep up the great work.

I was driving a bus when a little old lady came in smiling and paid for her 1.50 fare with 3 1966 round 50c. When I looked at her with a look I can't describe she clasped her hands gently over my mits holding the coins she moved closer and said I was the best looking bus driver she's ever seen.
Well, that's how I got my 3×50c silver coins.

I think I have both of these! I have a pile of coins from foreign lands and am pretty sure these are in my Australia stack.

Will these go up in price due to jewellers and hobbyists making rings from these or will the mintage still control the value of these?
