1823 fifty cent coin value?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The value of this coin, called a Walking Liberty half dollar, depends very much on its condition and whether it has a mint mark on the back at the 8:00 position near the edge.

With no mint mark, retail values are: Very worn - $22. Moderate wear - $31. Slight wear - $150. Nearly new - $450+

With an "S" mint mark - $18, $30, $300, $900

With a "D" - $25, $40, $400, $900

There were no 1967 or 1968 Australian 50 cent coins minted for circulation. There were a few "pattern" coins minted, but they were never issued and very few coin catalogues even acknowledge their existence, much less offer a valuation.

A copy of an Australian 1930 penny is worth nothing, unless you can put a price on accommodation and meals at one of the finer prisons for passing off forgeries. There are a large number of fakes and forgeries being hawked as genuine, so if you are considering purchasing an Australian 1930 penny of any grade, please be certain that you are purchasing the genuine article and have it authenticated by a reputable coin dealer.

How do you tell the age of an Australian banknote?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Australian banknotes have never had a date or year printed anywhere on them.

To determine the year of printing, you need to identify the two signatures of the "Governor of the Reserve Bank" and the "Seceretary to the Treasury". These two signatures will pin the banknote down to two years at best.

A combination of the two signatures and the Serial Number will identify the banknotes' year of printing.

From 1993 a coded system of dating on the new polymer notes was commenced. The first two numerals of the serial number contain the last two digits of the year, for example, AA 93123456, indicate that the note was issued in 1993.
