Australian 50 Cent Coins To Look For - WORTH MONEY $$$ (50c Coin)

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

Having been a bus driver for 30 years starting in 1984 I can tell you some of those mint coins end up on the market from dirt bags that break into homes and steal anything of value. If I had hung onto all the coins you mentioned I’d be reasonably wealthy now, but back then there was no internet. Hindsight 😂😂. I hung onto all the round 50c because I knew they were worth more and kept a large collection of Captain Cooks just because I liked them.

[@colinfullford8630]

You're right about the dirt bags breaking into homes and stealing anything of value, I worked in pubs for 25 years and I can tell you that a lot of them coins ended up going through the tills of pubs. On a lighter note I've got a bloody good coin collection..............

Me old man started collecting during WW2 (railways kid).. And some bastard knocked most of em off, but left sovs & half sovs!! He sold the rest before he croaked, obviously he wasn't impressed.

[@greenhouse3505]

My Mum had around 20ish of the round & that many jubilee ones that I couldn't count. As you said. "dirt bags" broke in somewhere in the early 2000's and cleaned out their property. Eventually (2-3 years ) later, the police caught the scum & called mum n dad based on mums great grandmothers ring. Very unusual design. So she managed to get all the heirlooms back. But her coins were lost in the wind. Very, very annoyingly they all basically got slaps on the wrists & sent on their merry ways to ruin others lives.

[@Zyzigy]

I have almost all of those coins and a few not mentioned here. A few Charles and Diana and 1982 Commonwealth Games among others. Also a round 50c. Always loved to collect rare and interesting coins. Thanks for the info

I'm not a coin collector but I have a huge collection of Aussie coins, Pennies and other early era coins but mostly 50c pieces. My father started collecting in 1986 and stopped when he passed away, there's at least 10000 coins, 80% are 50c. As mentioned by another person in the comments, the Charles and Diana coin, I think I have about 150 of those. I have no desire to sell, I hadn't really thought about the value of the collection until I came across this video randomly in my feed, I knew the collection was worth more than face value but now my head is spinning.

[@baabaabaa-yp2jh]

Go buy the Renniks Australian coin & banknote book mate.. you've probably got a few gduns in the collection.

[@RiverSanguine]

Round 50c coins were brilliant. When the old man went to the pub we used to get 2 bob for spending. The more he drank the more likely we were to get handed a 50 instead of a 20c. Still got a heap of them in my bank money box. Thought we were rich..... then again it was enough for a pie with sauce a coke and some lollies or a bag of chips..... bugger think I got old 🤣😂🤣😂

A 50 cent UC coin was Kept behalf of me as a souvinear reminder for the year I was Born (1972), never spent for 52 years. Thinking all these years The 50c coin is one of the rather best looking coins in the World of Currency, A coin that is worth 20X more to mint then just its 50c face Value, it is an Australian Icon and no other coin wil ever match it, it basically put Australia on the Map.

Good swap and we’ll done for keeping it. 👍🏼

[@jamesmatheson5115]

From memory the 50c round coin of 1966 was worth like 64c in silver in 1966, so it cost more money to produce then what their face value, the reason they stopped making them.

[@brucejensen3081]

3 of them make up an ounce of silver. Most people buy them for silver value only, if circulated. Silver is about $36 an ounce, so one coin is worth $12. A nice one would go for more, uncirculated would go for a bit

[@aliciarobertson4979]

Another reason was that as decimal currency was new, people kept getting a round 50c piece mixed up with the 20c piece so the current shape came into being.

[@Aasn9]

In 1966 50 cents would get you a drink and a meal at a pub, now, it won’t get you a small bag of lollies. You see, a silver coin holds value over time, whereas fiat currency does not. Perhaps why it was written into the Australian Constitution : Chapter V “States not to coin money, nor make anything but gold and silver coin a legal tender in payment of debt.

[@buzzzzzz69]

They actually stopped making them with that amount of silver but the shape was changed bcz of them being so easily mistaken for the 20c piece.

[@malcolmliang]

For coins you can actually clean them by lining your bowl with tin foil sheets, add in hot water and bicarb soda, leave it for about 60 seconds and wipe them off with fine cloth, this can get rid of most of the grease on the coin if you happen to find circulated ones that are not in excellent condition. This does cause microscopic scratches but not very noticeable on circulated coins. It will make them shinier but may affect valuation.

[@mohuckmedshishkeblob1712]

I recall being told back in the late 60's that as the round 50c had a silver content worth more than 50c, this resulted in many being melted down, don't know if that was fact or just a story ??, if true there would be less in circulation than manufactured, resulting in a higher value one would think ??

Keeping circulation coins that more than 1 million minted are hardly worth keeping. Like a 1940 k.g penny was 1.2 million minted and you can find a decent one fairly cheap. I think you would be better spending some money on the 2005 50 cent piece. There will be lot of elizebeth 50 cent sets with all except the 2005 50 cent, excluding errors. Hardly worthwhile having them all and not the 2005. Spent $75 on one of these and in 20 years it will probably be worth a thousand, have $75 worth of these circulation million plus types, in 20 years, it will be worth $150 probably.
