Worth BIG MONEY!! 1966 50 Cent Silver Round Coin from Australia

[@nathieboy1987]

My dad works in a small club in a country town. A couple of months ago a customer must've gone in and used some1966 fifties as regular change to buy a drink. Dad saw three in the till at the end of the night and swapped them out. I got two and a regular customer who was still on site was given one before he left. Little surprises do happen!!

[@DantheCollectingMan]

That is amazing that people are still using them to pay for stuff, unknowingly understanding their true value. Thanks so much for sharing this story. Dan

[@kaynef6637]

They are the good scores

As a Canadian I absolutely love the design of this coin, I just got my first one recently for my birthday I am very pleased with it although its often called "Junk silver" over here I see old silver coins for more then just their precious metal value, but for their historical significance and beautiful designs.

[@DantheCollectingMan]

Thanks for your message. Totally agree they can be more comfortable then the value of the silver 👌

[@eventhusist6969]

Im lucky enough to have one. Dad has 2 in his old coin collection and my friend's grandma has a whopping 75 round 50 cent pieces

[@DantheCollectingMan]

75 😱 that’s definitely a good amount to have 👍 Dan

[@ozyrob1]

Thanks for the show and tell mate. I enjoyed it and learnt a few things. 😊 My dad had a tin full of those when I was a kid. Our house had a break in and they were stolen and we never got them back.

[@DantheCollectingMan]

That’s such a shame they got stolen 😞 thanks so much for sharing. Dan

[@notmadnomad7835]

when i was young i got a few of the 50 cent collections in the perspex cases, had the round one with others like captain cook etc, usually 7 or 8 coins.

[@DantheCollectingMan]

Thanks for sharing 👌 Dan

[@mantse4874]

Were there any dodecagonal 50 cents coins made of silver?

[@DantheCollectingMan]

Only in the proof silver year sets. The 1966 was the only one in circulation 👍

[@send2georgie_S2G]

One of my favourite half dollar to stack! Cheers Dan ✌🏻😊

[@DantheCollectingMan]

Glad you enjoyed it. Definitely a cool coin to own. Thanks again for messaging and watching. Dan

[@andrecc1996]

These coins are amazing. Big sized, durable, good weight, and they make great silver sound when they clanged with one another. I have 12 of them, and I occasionally take them out to play around like a pirate with his stash. Can't do that with my pure 999 silver coins. Those pure silver coins will get scratched easily. 😂

[@DantheCollectingMan]

I like the idea of having some to play around with 👌

[@ohasis8331]

My mother had over seven thousand of the roundies in her collection. She worked as a barmaid at the time and swapped them every time she saw one in the till.

[@DantheCollectingMan]

That’s an amazing amount of silver 👌 thanks so much for sharing this story. Dan

[@ozyrob1]

Wow, incredible.

[@karenthomas8974]

Hi Dan I have one 50 c round in mint condition . I love the sets you showed also , but must tell u I ordered the Perth mint type set excited to see it when it arrives .

[@DantheCollectingMan]

How good is the Perth mint type set!! 👌 Dan

[@kaynef6637]

Beautiful proof sets

[@DantheCollectingMan]

It’s the best I have seen in that condition. I’m doing a video on Saturday night about the set! It’s definitely one to keep. Thanks so much for watching and all your support. Dan

[@greekstacker]

Funny how things change. I remember growing up in Ausralia (70-80's) I collected all the variations of the "dodecagon" 50cents which are pretty much worthless and I only have 1 round silver one..

[@DantheCollectingMan]

I bet you wished you had kept more! Dan 👍

[@dleetr]

They're in nice nick (not that I have an appreciation of their usual condition in the market). The 2006 set is cool.

[@DantheCollectingMan]

Totally agree, definitely cool to have them. Thanks again for watching. Dan

[@michaehector1018]

Hi Dan love the proof set very nice condition for its age I do collect the 1966 50c so far I have about 56 not that many but getting there I'm not 100% sure but I was told there was some 1969 rounds made by mistake 🤔🤷‍♂️ who knows cheers mate. 👍👊

[@DantheCollectingMan]

I don’t know anything about the 1969 rounds? Feels like it might be faked? Dan

[@dcel8]

I'm looking to invest in these also, these will sky rocket in value in the not too distant future as we transition into a cashless society

[@DantheCollectingMan]

It will definitely be very interesting to see what happens. Thanks Dan 👍

[@coolchille]

Need some advice, recently bought 10 pieces and 1 standout due to the weight is just 13.04g. Should I be concerned?

[@DantheCollectingMan]

That definitely sounds a bit strange. It should be 13.28 if you take it to a bullion dealer they will be able to check it for you. I use Bullion Now. Thanks Dan

[@darneyoung537]

I have 4 1966 50 cent coins put away

[@DantheCollectingMan]

Thanks definitely a great idea 👍

[@craigdutton6072]

In the 60s a mate of mines brother was a bank Jonny ,and he had a shoe box of rolls ❤his mum pilfered them over a few yrs for bread and milk due to a gambling father 😞

[@DantheCollectingMan]

He would be so annoyed now given the current value. Thanks so much for sharing your story. Dan

[@peecee1384]

2:50 I doubt you would pay $180 for 10 coins if they are $10 to $15 each.

[@DantheCollectingMan]

Yeah, you have a good point! Need to look at the website the was selling it for a higher price. Thanks for pointing it out. Dan

[@AngusMurray]

That's a good deal now

[@rodneykasputtis7319]

Great deal now

[@arifjatmiho]

I have 50 cent 1975

[@DantheCollectingMan]

Thanks for sharing. Dan

[@dleetr]

It's funny to think that 50cents was once worth the value of 15 dollars. Essentially, if you get where i'm coming from.

[@DantheCollectingMan]

Just shows how much inflation has happened over the last 60 years. Thanks so much for watching. Dan

[@RavinthranAlex]

I have 50 cent Astrlian 1966
