I like these birds and they are half silver (50%)

these coins I also find hard to grade and tend to come back to my as cleaned ....

I've been told, that is just the way it is in NZ - they clean there coins.

    This is NOT a coin, but you might like to look at it anyway and debate its attributes. It is also the last image on that flashdrive.

    Oh, that is sad. I did not realize the bird on the coin was an extinct species.
