Coloured $2 Circulating Coin (CLOSED)

[Goldseeker]

I just finished having a real good look at my packaged set of five from the RAM.   Shocking and now discoloured.   I just might send them back for a refund.

Not happy me..........

Mine are still in that baggie thing , Simply because I have run out of 27.5mm 2x2's.
They should be at the post office Monday and I will rectify that problem in a heartbeat :ok:

Mintages and values are a funny thing, the 2011 10cent coin only had 1.7mil minted and it sell for $7+ that's 70x its face value???

True, but the mint didn't sell any and your average man on the street isn't likely to tuck a few away in the sock draw because they just look like every other 10c piece.

With a mintage of 2,000,000 I doubt it, look at the Captain Cook specimen coins in the plastic boxes mintage of only 556,888 that are still available at about $5.
 Although one of these did sell at auction for over $1000 for some unknown reason

Trout, was that recently? Do you have a link to it? Would like to try and work out why.

I might be thinking of something else but I think it was graded MS70.

It sold on Numisbid for $2425 it was a PCGS SP68 coin.
For the life of me I cannot understand why anyone would pay that much when there are probably a number of coins out there in better grades you can still pick up for under $10 :-/

Not a MS grading but Specimen SP68, top graded is a 69
of only 8 identified and Slabbed as Specimen Strike; 7X68 1X69.

[robbiegal]

Wonder if any of mine might make that sort of grade?

[Unicorn]

Indeed Robbiegal ......

Trout, perhaps I now understand some of your more recent acquisitions (that were not 1927 Canb, dollar, predecimal, wedding, sovereign or proclamation related).

[Fordprefect]

Those coins of yours would grade high, but
for this coin it's the SP designator on holder
that pushes them up into stratospheric $$$.
PCGS don't seem to accept that Aussie "Specimen"
strikes are indeed Specimen. ?

I don't think, as yet any of the Wedding Set coins
have been placed in SP designator holders.

ta
I have 9 to the side
for the never ending 'gonna' submission

if those one of mine aren't specimens
well, I dunno
I had to jemmy a couple of out of the holders so my feeling is that they were darn well 1970 originals

Walter might know as it was his auction coin - that spec one

99.99% of these are toned due to the packaging and they are easy to tell apart from the business strikes because of the superior quality of these coins :ok:

Just joking Mate, I have the 5 I got from RAM and 3 left of the ones I bought on eBay for about $5 each.
