Hi everyone,

If anyone could help me grading thus coins please.
Upside down obverse?
Wider second 9 on the date?
The 0 of the 50 cents is weird?

Thanx in advance for your input..

  1. For the grade I would say VF-20
  2. Yes, it is an upside down coinage;
  3. I am not really sure of the variety;
  4. Concerning the 0 of "50 cents", it is probably a flan defect or a sealed corner. It would take better photos.

Oops ... :oops: translation problem. I meant that it is either a flaw planchet or a filled die.

Could you activate the Edit function in your forum?
