Title: 1955 Double Struck Shilling
Post by: OneDollarMule on January 31, 2017, 10:25:34 AM
Hi Everyone,

Thought I'd share a recent purchase - double struck 1955 Shilling. Not a huge collector of Aussie coins but couldn't pass this one up when I had the chance to buy it!

Haven't seen too many like it before so thought it would be a good one to share.

Super double strike there, that and another KGVI shilling were the two I could find online when I was looking around. Seems to be quite a scarce error! Would be great to see if anyone else has other examples.

This one was in Downies, found it on google. Looked it up auction 308 July 2011 sold for $600 plus comm. Graded EF.

Lovely PPH!

Could we venture enough to call the reverse a RAM strike?

(Oh dear, it is hump day after all).

:laugh2: .... in a class of my own G .... (probably skirtings) .... I suppose if it were pressed there'd be a micron's difference between wether I was that or a dag. I'd better bale before someone puts the hooks in me as I think I've fleeced the flock of puns for the day!

For reference, the one I bought was from Europe (Sweden), picked it up last year and cost the equivalent of 370AUD, PCGS reckons its AU58 which is a little generous but I'm not complaining about that!
