Perth Mint adds a printed card and a 1966 50c is now worth $29.99

[SpacePete]

Perth Mint have innovated their profit margin by adding a bit of cardboard or plastic to 1966 50c coins and selling them for $29.99

I want in on this idea

How much is an uncirculated 1966 round going for in the market though?

Up to $10, but if you buy a bunch of cheap 50s from a dealer you'll probably find some that are close to uncirculated quality.

I remember seeing for a previous release that Perth Mint was using an ultrasonic cleaner for the fifty cent coins. Remember, this is "uncirculated quality", not uncirculated.

I guess it depends on how many of SammySilvers fifties than can reaquire from him
