Now this one is rather unusual, thought you might like it Trout.

If you hadn't already bid on that one I would have a good crack at it. Looks like a good one.

The only errors I have on these coins is the normal die cracks on the obverse , 1 coin with some die cracks on the reverse and a few rotated coins.
This one will fit into the collection of these coins nicely :good:

I bet it will. I reckon its either a small ramstrike or a partial collar. The edges will be interesting to see when/if you get it trout.

it might be me
but something isn't right about that apparent error

Robbiegal ......... Maybe because it's a 1927 that's not in one of Trout's 2x2's yet. (Sorry couldn't help myself).

Jim,
Would you be the bidder that shows up as "s***n " (currently $61)?
Just want to keep an eye out on this one.

If that is the top bidder at the moment then yes.
I have a standing bid higher than that :ok:

Yeah,a similar coin,may be the exact one,went thru Ebay Oz. a couple(3?) years ago, i bid $107 or $111(i forget) and got swamped in the last few seconds.
Title: RE: Trout 1927 error
Post by: enworb on June 05, 2013, 11:41:47 AM
I could see it ending around $100-150

How much do you want me to bid so that it will cost you more...........?
Title: RE: Trout 1927 error
Post by: robbiegal on June 08, 2013, 11:31:32 AM
I think Trout is over working in some desolate place , as you do when you are a Western Australian - he might miss the auction ending

Went for $2.50 more than my bid and I was too bloody busily to do anything about it  BUGGER

I thought it would do better,surely it a $100+  one(maybe 2)-of-a kind coin.

I reckon Enworb was right when he said Ramstrike.
Title: RE: Trout 1927 error
Post by: markn on June 09, 2013, 05:07:56 PM
Looks like a ramstrike to me too.  If trout hadn't bid on it I certainly would have.  Will be interesting to see his images.

I was thinking that too, but it didn't look quite right.
I'll blame Robbie, it's her fault.:angel:

That's not going to happen, trout didn't win it.:idea:

Yeah, i thought Trout was gonna give it a real good nudge,if i'd known he was only going to $75 i also would have bid over $100,i've never seen a Ramstrike 27 until this one came up.

It would have had to have been Well over $100,
but, now we will never know.:dodgy:

No, trout was on it I didn't participate.
As a ramstrike '27, $250+ not out of place.
The '54 RV's bring the $250 plus numbers.

sorry Fordie
Just a thought that I said out loud
I don't like the look of how the rim starts to lift
So it doesn't look quite right to me
But it might be the piccies too

Post by: Fordprefect on June 09, 2013, 06:34:30 PM
I'm a big boy Robbie,
I made the decision not to participate.

The lip had me concerned, also the lack
of any noticeable reverse effects not being present.
The edge milling being present to the top of lip
was also something I wasn't expecting to see.

Mark it down to one that got away, hell the
winning bidder may have plonked $500 bucks on it.:angel:

I had a twinkle of doubt with this coin and the graffiti on it as we'll
was the main reason I didn't "go for gold" on this one.
Also I was at work and missed the end anyway:dash1:
