2 coronation paint error

[Fulvio]

...eat what one caught.

Unless you're me that is... only thing I ever caught was a seagull, and I don't think they're good eating.

I am lost , if these coins are being found in the shops and bags from the banks , how come they are selling for $ 12.50 on ebay ,.  ??

     ,, kel ,,

The ebay coins I think are the C mintmark coin not these circulating coloured coins with no mintmark

[trout]

OK as promised , I have just got home and took one of these out of my spares and have put it in acetone.
This is the Before pic :ok:
I will post another pic in half an hours soaking :diablo:

Here it is "Amazing 2013 coronation error coin" and it didn't take 30 min either :ok:
So if you see one of these listed as an error you can be certain that they have been tampered with :ok:

Well done Trout ...... now you can get the spray gun out and do a red one with GT stripes!!! :yahoo:

It is interesting to see the different type of finish where the paint was applied :ok:

[Unicorn]

Yes, it almost looks like a matt finish (which would make sense if you were going to paint it).

It does make sense :good:
I was a shame to ruin a perfectly good coin but as an educational tool I think the sacrifice is validated.
It is not a matter of IF one of these get listed by the "Shonky Mob" on eBay it is a matter of WHEN :ok:
As these coins ONLY are issued as coloured coins it is like a Rag to a bull for the "Shonky Mob" because they just know some Bidiot will shell out their hard earned cash for one of these Fake errors.

...it is a matter of WHEN

So, list it, and clearly state how it was done, and tell people NOT to bid. That should help with the bidiot re-education.
Oh, and if you do, better also state it was accidental damage so you don't run foul of the defacement laws.

I was thinking more of reintroducing it into circulation :diablo:

I was going to say, it's not ruined, you can still spend it.-John
