    Hi gcsun,
    If it is in uncirculated condition I would keep it but other than that set it free, they crop up every now and then in change.

    hi yes its london mint. The base of the legend (letters) on the obverse is scrolled too. The top wave above the baseline on the reverse looked a different tone to the rest of the coin, i guess lighting. so to me,, it looked knocked a bit later on.

    nice score in any condition and very collectable, its one of the key Australian decimal error coins

    Reserve bank rolls are the ones to look for in the 1966 London mint 20c error

    So are normal 1966 20c worth more than 20c?

    I guess you have one of these. Anyway you must be blessed.
    No point if you have none. I mean if you have then you are blessed.
    Cos I have a few mules , guess I m blessed with it. No need to find it hard to search for them.
    It jus like winning lotteries.

    Hi Austacker,
    I have a few of the 2004 pointy A's, very underrated I think, they should command a higher price as they are hard to find, I have maybe found 4 in $2000 worth of 20 cent pieces.
    I didn't know there was a 2005 pointed A.
    I keep anything pre-1974 but need to ditch out the worn stuff.
    Still searching for an incused Millenium 50 cent piece, saw one at the recent ANDA show for $100, was UNC but wandered off to look at around and came back and it was gone, should of grabbed it right away.


    Blake.

    At least you can just look for the young queen for starters for the 66ers
