1966 - 2016 It's such a good looking coin, I'd love to see a 999 version released in the same dimensions as the original. Would that be close to 1/3 oz weight? If so, could be sold at the spot price of 1/2 oz and still be attractive to hoarders, whilst providing enough profit for the mint. A one off or a new ongoing entry level for stackers?
I reckon there might be some sort of re-release but it should be done in 80% same as the original. The date would be the only thing to change. With the associated costs of mintage and some sort of premium you might expect to pay $20ish for them making them unattractive to purchase due to the premiums over spot. Ill stick to hoarding the original fiftys
It was done in 2006 http://www.australian-threepence.co...ins-2006-50c-the-round-50c-of-1966-revisited/
