Title: Cool double struck $1
Post by: enworb on December 09, 2012, 04:58:27 PM
This is pretty cool: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Error-One-Dollar-1-Australian-Coin-Double-Strike-Misstrike-Misstruck-Note-Rare-/261138879282?pt=AU_Coins2&hash=item3ccd171332

Its a little strange that the second strike is quite a but larger, almost zoomed in. Is it possible that it was misstruck first and then struck normally a second time?

A wonderful error.
I think struck normally, not fully ejected and then mis-struck. But, what would I know -await the experts opinion.

Actualy if you measure it, you will see that the second strike is the same size as the first.

I'll be having a very strong bid on this coin.  My finances might be the worse for wear afterwards but as long as my kids don't go hungry it's all good :)

Don't restrain yourself.

Help fight childhood obesity.
On a cheaper note; I listed some error coins for Stuart, two of which are of comparable rarity to that double struck dollar:
