Title: Decimal Errors
Post by: purplepennyhunter on September 14, 2012, 06:46:53 AM
The massive off centre florin in another thread prompted me to post up this one. It's nicknamed the "dodgy dollar".

I love indents. Here's my outback dollar with 5c blank indent. It's actually nicknamed the "2 dollar dollar" as we originally thought it was struck against a $2 blank.

And another birthday present from a few years ago.

This 1985 $1 has about 1/3rd of the surface lifting off, with a
second area that is raised and looks ready to peel.

There are some very nice error coins out there. I enjoy showing my coins as living in country WA I do not get many opportunities to do so. I am a member of the local coin club but they don't seem very interested in error coins. Error coins are my passion. I have been offered a $1 reverse brockage before but at the time the price was a bit high ($3K). It was a magnificent looking coin though with the backwards incuse 5 roos design. There is another 10 cent indent with matching 5 cent out there also. I saw one offered in an auction after I had bought mine. I have to do some work on improving my photographs of the coins.

Makes you wish you had an endless supply of money.any :idea:'s LOL
3K is a fair bit but what an asset that coin would be to a collection:yahoo::ok:

Here's a nice partial tilted collar 10 cent.

& a 10 cent Ramstrike,only one i've ever seen.

I have collected my error coins over many years. They have come from dealers, auction houses, ebay and other collectors both here in Australia and overseas.

Post by: accumulator on September 26, 2012, 10:07:39 AM
This $2 is cool & but the price is too high for me,what will it realise ?

Could go to $2000, difficult to say.  :dontknow: There's been a few of these surface and I'm almost of the opinion they're a case of 'mint sport'.  NSW seems to 'attract' them. :dodgy:

Way out of my price range already.  :grin:
Title: RE: Decimal Errors
Post by: accumulator on September 26, 2012, 05:01:58 PM
$1,551.00  :shok: The seller will be pleased.

Those $2 coins used to sell for $300-$500. That's a crazy price. I offered $400 for one and they decided to auction it and got in the 300s. Not sure why that particular example has skyrocketed.

The last couple on eBay have gone for good money.  Perhaps there's a few more error collectors coming out of the woodwork.

Really? I should keep a better eye on these things. The last one at a dealer auction went for a steal then :)

I have this 1966 20c. Rotated dies with a nice die crack through Australia and the dates.

There are some ripper errors in here !

I have a question & instead of opening a new tthread i thought i'd just ask in here.
How much is a reasonable price to pay for a split planchet error in each denomination,5c,10c,20c & 50c ? i have'nt seen $1 & $2 so i assume they don't happen ?
Title: RE: Decimal Errors
Post by: purplepennyhunter on October 03, 2012, 06:02:13 PM
The pair or singular one side only?

All 7 x 2012 50c coins I got yesty have 3 rev cuds, but on 2 of them, they're a bit more noticeable. This image shows the position of the three cuds.
(http://i47.tinypic.com/23iihck.jpg)

First trio of pics is 3 versions of the first cud on the roos hip.
(http://i45.tinypic.com/s2d7k6.jpg)

Next trio is the bottom left of the shield

Next trio is the bottom right of the shield

Sort of shows the progression of the deterioration of the die.
