The crosses of the Union Jack are incuse on the Incuse Millennium rather than in relief (raised) in the standard Millennium 50 cent.
The Federation Star (under the Union Jack) is slightly larger and has a smooth field on the Incuse Millennium. The standard Millennium 50 cent has a rougher field on the Federation Star and the star is slightly smaller.

How do you know if its incused? I mean how can one tell?

They are uber hard to get.. about 1 per 100 of the normal ones, but as ive just illustrated - they are still out there so there is still hope i will get a 2000 mule $1

up to 31 coronation coins and 6 poppys. I hope this isn't a waste of time holding.

Absolute waste of time. Let me give you the $74 to release you from this crazy desire to collect what will prove to be a major distraction to your life.

No! Don't sell them to Sammy. He has too many now. I'm struggling to find them. I don't see enough money turnover to find them. I'll give you 7
$76 for them.

I went into woolies and got some change with a purchase and I noticed that the two dollar coins were coronations. The I asked if they had any more blue $2 coins. They replied they are all blue. I managed to get 18 in one go.
Sweet as.

Seems to be NSW is very light on these $2 specials compared to VIC and QLD. Given we have the highest population so you'd think the most coins in circulation, it's odd.

Sorry about the crappy phone pic, but is the one on the left here an incuse? Not great condition, so is it still worth anything? Wouldn't mind trading it for silver if it is.

 

[Andy28]

Anyone? Should I just put this one in the piggy bank?

Yes mate, looks like its an incused verison - should be able to whack it on ebay for $25 and sell.. its pretty munted.. also not 100% as the images are not exactly close up or well focused .. but about 90% just looking at it.

[Andy28]

Agreed not in great nick. At this current silver price maybe I could get a generic 1oz round for it then. When I get around to scanning it properly ill whack in the trade thread. Thanks for the help.

Got a poppy in my change today at woollies.

Still waiting for a coronation. It's annoying how they have been hogged and also less of them appear in nsw.

Finally found a coronation in my change today! Been looking for ages. Up to 6 poppies now though...

 

[SilverSerf]

Hi all,

Got this today in change from a $5.00 - was suppose to be 20c.

A little tarnished but I think it's worth more than 20c .

 

[Andy28]

Very nice, apparently its 0.391 ounces, better than our round 50!

Found my first coronation!!! Does look good
