Extreme Cleaning! :dodgy:

Sounds like a good name for a TV show

I have a blistered 1925 penny that looks much the same but larger bubbles
I figured that it's a badly poured fake
is that coin a fake or has it been in a fire or something?

Looks like I would call a "Bilge Coin" acid and/or electrolysis would cause this horrific  effect :ok:
Your Penny is probably genuine but has suffered badly :cray:

Nah
they are fakes
bad ones too

I'm fairly certain that this one is fake too - or fire affected

[Fulvio]

Anyone have any ideas on value/ rareness etc..

Was talking to Linda earlier and she mentioned that she sold that filled T. I had to pick myself off the floor when she told me the price! :yahoo:

Any guesses?

[Unicorn]

$15 ?
Though you probably wouldn't be on the floor for that price.

Going to wait until she gets a chance to post it herself. She went to bed early cos of work.

But yeah, its more than $15.

Verdigris and acid perhaps. Thos two coins could well be genuine. But that damaged, and with so little eye appeal, it is probably irrelevant.

[robbiegal]

oh ta
so I can sell them
maybe they can go up as beggared coins
perhaps I should pop them over in that other thread!

I bought them as 'poor' from an ebay seller years ago but they didn't look quite so bad in the blurry photos of course

Not really noodling , but today I went to the local shops. I rarely do go. In change I received an extremely shiny $2 excited and thinking it may be another 2013 issue I took it home. (no reading glasses on me to check the date) . No it wasn't a new one , it is a mint looking, perfect 1988. Somebody ran short of money and spent a coin that had been put aside I think.

[Cooper S]

I have a huge amount of the 2013 $2 and 20c

Check them for errors.

[JeffH]

This was in a $1 bag and just happens to fill a gap in my NZ decimals album.

[Linda]

Ok busy busy!! But just saw Fulvio posted and was waiting for me to spill the beans on what I got for my filled T $2 coin on Ebay,
I was thinking about $15ish , but was very very happy when the final bid was $47.50

[Unicorn]

Wow! Well done Linda .......... that's a great price.

[Fulvio]

Wow!

That's about what I said too. Pretty amazing I reckon...
