That's impressive. There are quite a lot of fills on these things, but not that good. Well done.

Thank you I thought it was quite impressive too. A friend is desperately wanting it from me already as he can't seem to find any errors on the coronations yet and he's gone through alot of bags. He's offered me $20 but I'm thinking it could get more lol.

Linda got $52 IIRC for that $1 fill she posted about here, and it wasn't as impressive.

I think I might have to tell him I want more haha.. Might be having a dumb moment here but what does IIRC stand for? Was Linds an auction?

I was thinking about $15ish , but was very very happy when the final bid was $47.50

Wow nice score for just one letter missing, I think I will make it $40 per missing letter hahaha

Unicorn · December 10, 2013, 08:43:58 AM

Yes, I think Linda did very very well.

$6 was all I could get for mine ....

I think maybe it was the bits of 0 left over that brought the price down for you. Shoulda got the chisel set out and finished the job mate! :diablo:

Lol :laugh2: ..... yes indeedy, I might have to send some off to Troutshed mint for 'enhancement'.

What were you hoping to reach in the auction for your $1 Unicorn?

Unicorn · December 10, 2013, 04:30:28 PM

No really sure MattGold, but $6 was my starting price (hence the lowest I thought it worth) and it did sell so it helps pay the medical bills.

A bit of the luck of the draw really as far as expectations ...... one week a coin might go to $19, a similar coin a few weeks later might only make perhaps $3.25. It just depends on the competing bidders.

MattGold · December 10, 2013, 04:39:53 PM

Makes me consider my mates offer but Linda scoring what she did for her $2 is making me want to sell it for more lol

Here are a couple interesting $2 I found recently when I noodled the coins from my purse.

First is a $2 2002 with extra metal all over the Rev, not exactly uncommon as I'm sure I've got more of them somewhere.

Then $2 2006 Rev, with the Elder missing the outline of his left eye socket, can't recall seeing this one before, but possibly other members may have reported it. 2010 & 2013 close-up images are just for comparison purposes.

Found a couple odd $2 while trying to get things sorted, not sure what to classify them as.

$2 1988 Obv with an Inner Ring, almost all the way round and a smaller section on the reverse.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had tagged this as an error, but it could just be deliberate PMD with partial letters on the Obv and sloping rims in places that sort of resemble a collar error. :scratch_one-s_head:

$2 2003 Obv Letters on Edge Duo1

$2 2003 Obv Letters on Edge Trio

$2 2003 Rev - Close ups of Rim

Opinions welcome. :biggrin:
