Hey, Im hoping that some one may be able to help me, I found this 2000 $1 coin in my change from the pub the other night and think it may be a mule? Any opinion is welcome. Thanks

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner, AWSOME find mate.
Definitely a Mule and a nice one to boot.
Well Done :wavemulticolor:
How rude of me
:welcome:
To the forum and what an awsome intro post :yahoo:
yep looks like a mule to me.
from WA ?
Yep.
Sure is.
Is it a recent find?
Almost definitely not a mule!. Send it to me with a $20 payment for forensic testing!
Of course it is a Mule. WELL DONE. :yahoo:
Thanks for the prompt replies! I'm no coin expert, just a casual collector really, how do I go about having it valued etc? And what would be the best forum for possibly selling it? I sell a bit on ebay but don't know whether that's the best avenue for selling. Does anyone know how/where I can get it 'mounted'?
My Mrs bought it home from a pub on the Sunshine coast on Friday night! Pulled it out of the pokies, and she didn't cash in at the pub thankfully!
Ebay prices have been low recently as there have been quite a few listed; so list as "buy it now" for $500 if you wish to sell it now otherwise wait six months and see what the market is like.
Also show bigger images of both sides in your listing.

If you mean Slabbed and graded then there are many coin dealers that will send it in with their submissions for a reasonable fee.
Here is one that I recommend :ok:
Drake Sterling Numismatics Pty Ltd
Also if you do intend to sell this get away from eBay and have a look here, charges are lower than eBay and I recon you will get a far better return for your coin :good:

Well found and welcome to the forum!
Well done, great find. Emu knows his mule stuff, big pics, set a price even consider lower offers as they come if you choose the ebay way.
If nobody else would confirm that it is a Mule then I would have.
Nice find regardless.

This and the 22-21 3d are a couple of errors that don't require the use of a Lupe :yahoo:
Just piggy backing on CC's thread seeing as we don't have one for new finds.
My first mule find was about 6 years ago and this was among last week's searches:

It's been a long time between drinks.

Yes. I would have got it from Sandgate/Virginia somewhere.
It is an interesting question to ask but How many MULES were produced.
In a previous now defunct forum, we had a mule count going. At the time of callapse, the count was a little over 200 MULES found by the then forum members.
I am wondering if we should/might do the same here.
As this is a MULE Thread, the count could be done in this thread.
Yes/No?

Yeah about 6000 out there I think
Do you really want to do this in the Public Area ?
6000 is common accepted estimate of 2000 mule $1

Nope. And anyway, its a little pointless really. We already know the probable mintage is in a pretty wide range either side of the 10k mark. At best we might account for 5% of them.

I don't see the point in this.
