"Dollar mule" / Australian Coin Collecting Blog on news.com.au

[Hercules]

This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing.

Just as well they figured that out before they actually sold it to someone. :rolleyes:

Ended the listing then has relisted it.

Damn! Why would anyone be stupid enough to pay $1230 for that? :dash1:
Here's the full quote:

I am listing this up because i feel it is of value to an Australian 2000 $1/10c Mule Collector, This coin is from 1999, and displays the same double rim that i have seen on genuine Mule Coins but this rim is isolated solely to the 2nd quarter on the radius (3-6) between the first "R" in Australia and the last "9" in 1999. Being a 1999 i believe this potentially could be the start of the Minting error that created the famous Australian 2000 $1/10c Mule, Although this has not been verified and this coin has not been professionally evaluated.

Re-Listed due to complaints received from some sort of "Coin Gang" regarding Apparent Fraudulent behavior, who then decided it was their service to the community to out bid anyone who wanted this coin so that they could then admittedly not pay for the coin. 

To the Collectors genuinely messaging me and bidding on this coin to add to their collection i hope this new listing gives you a chance to add this exceptionally rare coin to your collection! 

All bids are final, Happy Bidding! 

Clearly someone who has no comprehension of how coins are minted or how mules occur.

There seems to be a HUGE number of people on ebay now trying to flog off just a simple heavily circulated 2000 $1 for hundreds, not to mention the false mules floating about there (one looked like they'd scraped a rim into it with a knife!!!).

So, I just had to post (here, not on ebay) a nice photo of my 8 nice examples of a 2000 coin.

I wonder what would happen if I listed it ....... (don't worry, I won't be).



Perhaps I could as a warning to people not to bid on BS?

Anyone stupid enough to buy these needs to be taught how to noodle. It's really not that hard, and could be done with a budget well under $600. :dash1:

They do look a bit like mules, because they have a double rim, but it's nowhere near as thick as on a real mule. Once you hold a real one in hand, you'll never be fooled by a pseudo-mule ever again. :winkextra:

[Unicorn]

Considering that the photos are "as is" and not doctored, you'd near think there was Pedro.

Unfortunatley no mules ...... there are however three 2000 $1's that have misaligned die rims.

I must admit that in the instances I found them my heart did beat quite a bit faster for a minute.

Look at this idiot .. thinks he has got a 2001 Centenary of Federation Mule...

This is his blurb .....

Here we have a $1 mule / 10c error coin made in 2001 in fairly good condition.

Please note the following statement mentioned in the article by news.com.au

"The actual number of the coins in circulation is not known, but a statistical sample by some "mule hunters" on an old internet forum estimated the total mintage at between 6000-7000. According to the blog, the majority of the mules were sent to Perth, but the error wasn't picked up by coin collectors until 2003."

THE ERROR WASN'T PICKED UP BY THE COIN COLLECTORS UNTIL 2003.

Clearly, they have admitted it and hence it on 2001 coin as well. Additionally, it has unique Centenary of Federation on the other side.
