Another new $2 Coin Via Woolworths

[redlock]

Congrats Steve.
I guess a nice little gift on your birthday.

But the paint seems a bit strange. Is that what jens coins meant when he warned of ''peeling?''

Ralf, these come in a bag so they get knocked around a fair bit.
I chose this coin from the bunch I got, for obverse side. The
Queen's face had less marks on it.
It also seems the pad printing is totally random, so the colours
can end up in any position.

Thanks for explaining. Interesting...

I'm just about over these coloured Coins,surely they are only draw fillers that will be worth a $2 in 20 years time.
After saying that i still get sucked in and buy a few of each,scared someone will find an error on them down the track.
Local TAB shop owner says they are turning up already so will have a steady supply there.

It's getting harder to put them in the main collection - really it's a promotional piece (I suspect made under contract) rather a real circulating coin.

Like it or not but the coloured $2 are the new craze and people are making serious markups on them selling on the secondary market to the dentriment of pre decimals and unc 1966 - 1983 decimals

I agree,but its a passing fad surely,good luck to those that can make a $ but i stand by my comment that they will be worth face value in the decades ahead.
