Genuine ?

By the way this coin is owned by a new member here , the member  is  here to learn .:angel:

That being said , If the "New member" joined the forum at an earlier date they wouldn't have purchased/submitted this shed job.

I hope He/She is reading this thread and in future takes advantage of the Wealth of numismatic knowledge that the members on this site freely share and wont make the same mistake again.
I think this member was Royally Shafted by APCGS and "Redress" is required :ok:

From what I can gather this coin is owned by a CCF member that has the username of "Coinaus".
it is part of a 15 coin submission to APCGS and the coin was purchased from Downies .

MMMMMMMMMMMMM
I wouldn't think Downies would list this a clip error somehow.

Hello Paul,

Welcome to the forum.  I believe I've spoken to you on the phone.  I'd like to see bigger images of the coin before we all get too excited.  If it does prove to be a dud I'd be asking APCGS for a refund and showing them this article:

How to pick a real clipped planchet error

Sorry that it looks like you've had a bad experience with that coin!

:wavemulticolor: Swan dollar welcome to forum .
 When you get it back from  apcgs (vomit)  takes some better photos  and post on here , the expert errorheads  will give a nay or yay  . By the way here's the ebay listing http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Australia-1989-Clipped-Planchet-ERROR-1-Cent-Coin-/151234930691?pt=AU_Coins2&hash=item23364de803&nma=true&si=QewikQmb%252BU5sf264JjxeNCm9DEo%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

[Swan dollar]

Yes that's the one or dealer I brought this from

[robbiegal]

your link beyy is a much better photo of the coin
so swan (and welcome) - you bought the raw coin then submitted it to that apcgs mob for grade and slabbing?
so you have those costs on top of your original purchase ?

Hi Paul,

:welcome: to TACF. :yahoo:

[Swan dollar]

Yes robbie gal. .
It's still at apcgs but will post better pic when I get it back...
And Thank you guys for the welcomes. .
Just a little intro ..
I have been collecting for a couple of years and still green .. and I only collect decimal coins ..
I have a few Good coin and bad coins and now may be a fake..
I started collecting 50 cent circulated coins years ago then three years ago I started getting proof coins and the last six months start buying high value coins ..
Normally have no problems but this one has tried me up..
Thank you for accepting me..
Cheers paul

:welcome:  to the board, Paul.

The vendors images are not bad,have attached.
(Not a clip person myself, but I think you have a problem)

:welcome: Paul.

Hoping that this one ends well for you.

It might not have Blakesley effect ......

http://www.australian-threepence.com/blog/2012/06/how-to-determine-if-a-clipped-planchet-error-is-real.html

..... so you might have to settle for the Blakey effect!  :angel:

[Swan dollar]

Thank you unicorn for the link
Some one just pointed out to me it's not a perfect radius clip..
What I am trying to say is one cent coin would not fit in where the part is missing

Spot on Paul, thats what my Mrs first picked up on & the metal was too shiny around the edges she said lol , i checked it out & everything snowballed from there when i started this thread.
Sorry it looks like you've been shafted on this coin but stick around & you'll learn & vast amount from the knowledgable people here & if your not sure on anything just ask.

BTW  :welcome:  to the Forum.
