This is a peel with a bit of a twist, it appears to have come off in 2 separate pieces leaving a little 'bridge' of the surface intact.

[attachment=197][attachment=196]I have a two dollar coin with a major planchet error - half of the surface of the tail of the coin has lifted.  How do I find out its value?

You could find out it's value by putting it up for auction on eBay but prices can be up and down on there depending on your wording and who sees the auction.

I'd be interested to know what the surface is like under the peeled flap. Also has someone had a go at it to lift the flap?

I'd suggest a rough value of $50+

Under the lifted piece you can still see the imprint of the face and the 2.  I have tried to photograph under the lifted piece without success.  It was in this condition when we acquired it.  :)

It should look like this under the flap.

A five cent struck on an already split planchet.

I'd been looking for an error like that 5c  type for years. :drooling:
Didn't manage to find one so bought a New Zealand 50c one instead. It's posted back on page 1 of the world error thread.

That 5c is magnificent.

It is one of my favourite coins. I know of one other five cent that is very similar that is owned by another forum member. I have also seen a two cent sell on ebay. I am still kicking myself for not bidding but I had no money at the time. It went very cheaply because I do not think the seller knew what it was and there were very few bidders.

This is a $1 coin that Triggersmob gave me when we met up in Brisbane in Jul 2011
