Hard to tell but I think I see a cud on the rim, can't really be sure. Funny how the obverse pics are clear but the reverse pics are blurry

I received numerous of the Poppy Circ $2 at my pub in Bondi on Saturday 10th November 2012.

Have since received a couple more from other pubs but nothing from retail.

I can't work out the error on the listing. I thought a rim cud as well but the pics are horrible. They even added new pics to 'clear' it up but they are just as bad.

Looks like a common $2 coin to me, no visible error, but who can tell with those dodgy pics? I wouldn't pay more than $2 for it and even then I'd want free postage.

It's just got the very slightest off-centre strike doesn't it? And when I say off-centre I don't mean off centre :dodgy:

Maybe the photos are in focus, and the coin is out of focus ?

Saw it yesterday. Looks like a crock to me. Just goes to show if you put error on a listing then sky's the limit for price.

I wonder what would happen if you put a coin up with no error and told people the error is that the mint "forgot to make an error" is the error (lol).

I checked my coloured ones and I have a similar one, they are common.

Its just the raised rim part of the coin, one part is thin and the other looks a bit fatter, all the coloured coins I had a look at have slight variations I think it is a common thing with the minting.
