2001 strike alignment on obverse off

[Oldcoinchest]

Hi, if anyone can tell me more about this error of the rim being mis-aligned on the observe that would be great. has anyone seen other misalignments like this and what would be a rough value estimate? Cheers

I had noticed on a number of the 2001's before, especially the WA one.

What is the reverse on yours?

[Oldcoinchest]

Yeah it is a WA coin. Have you seen it on other years? Would you know the value?

[Unicorn]

Sorry, not much idea on the value. (Depends really on how many were interested in it).

It looks a nice coin though.

What are you looking at? I just get a blank image and clicking on it takes me to Old Coin Chest site -"access denied".

Hopefully this works for you Jeff.

Note the corners of the planchet vs the corners of the strike. Off a tad ..... or about as much as you could with a 12 sided piece.

[JeffH]

Yes thanks, I am with it. Will have to have a look through mine.

[Oldcoinchest]

ok fair enough, thanks Unicorn, yeah sorry jeff I unpublished the link and just uploaded an attachment and yeah sorry it a small picture aswell

[robbiegal]

so is this rotated?
not by much if it is?

not entirely sure what this means ' strike alignment on observe off'

[Oldcoinchest]

Yes its rotated slightly, more obvious looking at the bottom of the rim, Sounds like back to the pond!!

OCC, to me that's way too nice a coin to throw back!

OCC, to me that's way too nice a coin to throw back!

I have to agree, it's in very good nick!

Ok, I will hold onto it for now, I will try to do some more research into error coins and values to try and suss out its value, I found a few other 5 cent coins I will post up aswell, Thanks for advise
