    If you compare it to another $2 coin you will understand the "variety"

    Don't see what's so different about this coin variety?

    Mind explaining it to the rest of us who don't have telepathic powers over the internet what you are talking about?

    Maybe a picture of a genuine $2 coin would help people! :)

    If people actually compared this to a real coin and couldn't see anything wrong then no wonder these forgeries circulate.

    I pulled out a $2 I had lying around.... As far as I can tell, I have exactly the same variety. ??

    Ahhh.. We are looking at the reverse, not the obverse... How perverse....

    It's a double tailed coin?

    Thank You Oasis for seeing the variety.I never any of my posts replied " you should have been there ".For legal reasons I choose to call it a "variety" or better word a "circulated copy".If you look at the aboriginal his effigy is cartoonish.sorry if my telepathic powers could not penetrate your foil hats ;) ;)

    Really, to be honest, how many people give a toss about these 'tokens' anyway :rolleyes:
    $2 coin - actual worth $0.06 (less than a $1 coin at $0.08)
    pre '46 sixpence - actual worth $2.74 (even a post '46 is worth $1.74)
