1969 Yarralumla PNC Specimen Fifty Cent - PCGS SP66

Australia, 1969 Yarralumla PNC Specimen Fifty Cent -

A popular coin that is also quite scarce: Only 2,000 pieces were minted, and of those only 1,330 were preserved in the original PNC. Those that have remained in the PNC have been subsequently damaged by PVC, so the number of coins in high-grade without PVC damage is quite low. A modern rarity and something to put aside for the long-term, in my view. Equal-third finest graded by PCGS (7/17).
