2 coronation paint error

Coins from Vending · July 16, 2013, 06:51:16 PM

Today I found a bank that had armagaurd delivered $2 coins and bought $1000 worth of the $50 bags each bag had 3-4 in it.

I sort through them all and add them to my stash, on 1 coin I noticed that instead of the paint being a deep purple this one was more magenta.

Would this be classified as a fault. It is the only one of the 110 I have that exhibits this different colour

The coin on the left is the one

I've taken on board Fulvios advice and am now when I don't play golf going to the bank and swapping notes for coin, the other day I did $600 of 20cent pieces, ended up with about 70 coins of interest and I think I got 5-6 Norfolk Island 20s 1 sheeps back 3 Canberra state coins 3 Tasmanias a few NSW and other states, a heap of centenary of Canberra and a few others, missus thinks I've gone mad.......

I am going to test the market, could I get $100 for it???

That will cover my next game of Golf at Brookwater Golf Club, just.

Nup, but I'll swap you this even rarer purple 1993 I just found:

:angel:

And the missus doesn't think spending a hundred bucks on chasing a little ball all day is mad?

Nice find. All of my look the same dark purple.

My missus feels physically ill at the sight of golf clubs and the golf course, absolutely hates it, when she was young her father made her caddy for him, I think she was about 7-8 at the time?

A bit of a longer soak in acetone and it will produce an even more amazing error, NO colour :dodgy:

Those who don't play golf will never understand the allure of golf. A bit like noodling thousands of small coins.!! To each his 'own'.! :angel:

I am willing to sacrifice a coin in the interests of other collectors.
I jut KNOW one of these "NO paint , remarkable Error coins" will eventually find its way onto eBay and dupe some poor collector out of quite a lot of money.
I will be home Saturday and I will attempt to remove the pad printing using acetone.
Before and after pics will be posted.
This will be another "special Product" exclusively produced at the Royal Trout Mint :diablo::laugh2:

I seriously think it's a quality control thing,i bought a dozen of the 2012 hyper metal mint sets & there is a fair bit of colour variation between some of the sets,one set in particular has almost no colour.

Golf is an awesome game, I play 2-3 times a week at Coolangatta Tweed, I play off 9 I've only been playing for 20 months I'd would like to get down to 5 by end of the year.

To play a round of golf, costs you money and unless one turns professional, one can't make a profit.

Noodling, one needs a small bank of money and keep recycling the the money, search or noodle and find errors etc and sell for profit.

Same same for fishing. equipment costs a fortune for no profit except one can, at times, eat what one caught.

Need I say more.
