Odd rim on round 50 cent

[Simeon]

So I managed to get a good deal on a whole lot of round 50 cent coins.

I randomly picked one to have a play selling some on eBay. Currently bidding surprisingly high when you consider the postage.

After having a look at the photo I posted I noticed the rim was strange. Is this something a little different?

Now I'll give it away for all those who are bidding
It's an error
Off centre strike
Please send it to me as payment

Ah, so then a mistake to put it up.

What are the chances of a random coin chosen out of 100 was this coin.

Any recommendations for a newbie?

Apart from sending it to me ?
Put it away & learn about error coins
And give up fleebay before you get ripped of somewhere along the way

You know what - I looked at the coin when I got home. I can't see the rim when I look at it via the naked eye - though it does come up on the camera. I went and grabbed another coin from my collection and it too looked like an odd rim when looked at on the camera.

I think it might be just might be the shininess making it look like there is something wrong with the rim.

I have a funny looking fifty, wonder if it would fetch any extra..?
