Varieties and errors

A variety is a claim about a coin, and claims differ in how well they are evidenced. The grade beside each says what kind of source stands behind it. This catalogue prints no valuations, so nothing here tells you what a variety is worth.

Variety	How you tell it apart	Evidence	Source
1923 halfpenny (key date; not a variety)	Date 1923; key date rather than die variety	trade a dealer, auction house or grading service	source Dealer's “well below” claim is not a census; excluded from population.

What the mints reported

These are not mintages by date, and this catalogue will not print them as if they were. They are what the Sydney, Melbourne and Perth branches reported striking, delivering or issuing during a report year. A single year's delivery routinely carried two dates: the 1958 report says florins and sixpences to a stated value "were dated 1957; the remainder of the coin delivered being dated 1958".

59 records. 50 of them are recorded in pounds sterling rather than in coins, because that is how the mints kept the books. 3 name the date borne by the coin. On 3 occasions the report states the same output both ways, in money and in coins, and the two agree exactly once converted: that is the pound ledger showing itself.
