Ramstrike 50¢ on eBay

[JeffH]

Don't see these very often. Australia 1983 QEII 50 Cents 50c Ramstrike High Lip Error Coin
Now, how do you put that in a 2x2?

He also has a few other nice errors (and one that looks like a shed job).

I saw that one Jeff ,what would it be worth?

[markn]

I think it'll get between $200-$300.  I recall one going for over $300 a few years back but that was primarily because of a few members on the old ACBO forum having a bidding war over it.

Only Way to store it is a capsule or saflip. Mine is in a saflip now but the dealer had it in a 2x2 that all the teeth had broken through.

Before I found Saflips I used to reinforce the inside of a cardboard 2x2 with the thick mylar window out of an Eagle Mount!! My 50c ramstrike broke out too. The Saflips are thick enough.

It would be very nice to own one of these but how does one store it in minimum space?

Even if stored in a Saflip, the "teeth" would bite/distort the folder wouldn't it?

[enworb]

Mine is no longer in my error folder but whilst it was it didnt leave any marks on the folder. The saflip was thick enough and rigid enough to protect the album page.

probably PP illegal
but i have my raised error (eer junk) coins in holders
in a vintage kodak slide box case

works for me and the coins

[JeffH]

The slide box cases fit 2x2s perfectly except the lid won't quite close if the 2x2s have the little half moon tab on top.
Easy solution; get a very small screwdriver and ease the hinges and catch about 1mm up in their slots and the lid will close perfectly. Because the lids usually have a slight lip over the case body you won't see a gap. Only applicable for the big boxes with several rows; won't work with a single row box.
If any of the fittings seem a little loose after this exercise then a small dab of almost any glue will steady them.

PS. I really should have put this in my "Tips and Tricks" thread. Probably did already but have forgotten by now.

Ooo, so close.  $306.  Good price for the seller and good buying for the winner.  It's a better grade example of the type than you usually see.
