Nice reject that is!
 
Just got a "2001 Australian 20 Cent Coin - Centenary Of Federation ACT" in my change today. Had a look on E-bay and found various price ranges for this coin averaging $5 for circulated. Appreciate if someone can tell me what the quality/grade of this coin would make it worth? The other side is in better condition then the front.

woohoo, I think I found my first error coin today :^D

Never would have noticed the initials on the '88 $2 before I took an interest in coins recently. At first I glance it was the circle that caught my attention and I thought it was somehow related to the HH, so I looked up that coin and I see that the initials are always on this coin only I didn't see any photographs of one with that broken circle. Is this a striking error? Quite excited to have found this coin, despite its value or lack there of.
Please share your wisdom with me! Is there a thread on this (or another) forum dedicated to error coins?

Sorry pmd (post mint damage) caused by the coin rolling machines.
Not an error
 
Home with the flu and this thread broke the boredom. so i looked in my change pot I found 2x $1 1997 smithy,s a $1 2001 international year of the volunteer a $1 2000 mob of roos and 2 x 2000 $2 coins, not sure what I am looking for in any of these coins but one of the 2000 $2 coins looks a bit odd on the rim up near the top queens side, going clockwise it is one continual rim up to the 11 after Elisabeth then the rim splits into two rims until it reaches the S in Australia, it looks like a double rim from 10 oclock to 2 oclock, is this a miss strike?

Thanks

Sadly it just a 2000 $2 coin :( I read somewhere on the net that the 2000 $1 mules that ended up mostly in WA were not mules as the size did not match that of the 10c die supposedly used in error by the mint?

Still this $2 coin has a split rim from 10 oclock to 2 oclock and my first defect find :)

I will go back into my history and try to find the link to discussion or article, it was on a coin site or forum.
 
Apologies serial, they were talking about the non existent $2 5c mule not the $1 10c mule.

Well at least by re visiting I found out my 2000 $2 coin is a "Broard Struck" and not so common in $2 coins.

Also this $2 coin has been struck off centre on the other side as well, it has a thicker rim from 7 oclock to 11 oclock on the design side and double rim strike from 10 oclock to 2 oclock on the queen side. So both top and bottom die were off centre in different places.
 
Yes I have heard the $2 one before and handled a couple of coins that could have been candidates my self but unfortunately it is not the case. Is the rim fully formed? Can you take pics of the rim on the side of the beading?
 
Can anyone know how to direct me as which Australian circulated coins do have extra premium on them.
$2 coins with colour considered worth nearly $4. What else really worth more and by reasonably how much?
Such as 20 cents 50 cents and $1...

Thanks
