5 rubles

I am not a an expert or too interested in collecting die errors so can't really get too excited about this coin. It has a die error in the "ribbon" where the word AUSTRALIA'S is printed, looks like part of the ribbon has been left out and it has an "island" of smooth surface above letters TRL. is this something special or common occurrence?

Umm, nup. That's not a die error. Its a struck through grease flaw.

Still collectible, but not as much as actual errors. Unless they're really spectacular, of course, which most are not.

:i_agree: with McDuck. Sure looks the goods.

Seems in reasonably good nic too. (If it were me I'd be keeping).

Thanks all for advise, I am sorting out my boxes and bags of coins collected over many many years, keep the ones in good condition and  let the rest go.
