I have collected my error coins over many years. They have come from dealers, auction houses, ebay and other collectors both here in Australia and overseas.

Could go to $2000, difficult to say.  :dontknow: There's been a few of these surface and I'm almost of the opinion they're a case of 'mint sport'.  NSW seems to 'attract' them. :dodgy:

Way out of my price range already.  :grin:

That's impressive as well.

Those $2 coins used to sell for $300-$500. That's a crazy price. I offered $400 for one and they decided to auction it and got in the 300s. Not sure why that particular example has skyrocketed.

The last couple on eBay have gone for good money.  Perhaps there's a few more error collectors coming out of the woodwork.

Really? I should keep a better eye on these things. The last one at a dealer auction went for a steal then :)

I have this 1966 20c. Rotated dies with a nice die crack through Australia and the dates.

There are some ripper errors in here !

I have a question & instead of opening a new tthread i thought i'd just ask in here.
How much is a reasonable price to pay for a split planchet error in each denomination,5c,10c,20c & 50c ? i have'nt seen $1 & $2 so i assume they don't happen ?
