Dollar coins

[trout]

Six grand sounds like a very reasonable value if there's only one. Even if there are only a couple.

After all, there are what, 1,700 1930 pennies? And they're in crap condition mostly.

There is absolutely NO way that this coin comparers with a 1930 penny :ok:
the 1930 penny wasn't an error but simply a low mintage coin.
EVERY collector covets that coin, What we are talking about here is an "Error" coin and not EVERY collector needs that.
The 1930 penny is desirable because it is a rare and low mintage coin, Not as a direct stuff up by a mint employee.
I am in NO way bagging this coin but to me it is simply a rarity because of a mint employee stuff up and has nothing to do with a regular coin mintage.

Great to hear some debate about my post saying it's only worth $5
Emotions aside not a bad pickup/find

I imagine someone will "Cop a Pineapple" when the RAM hears about this one :laugh2:

I am wondering if there was only one press operator at that particular show, and someone from the RAM reads this topic, that press op may not have a job any more.

I am also wondering if we ALL should be a bit more cautious in advertising on an open forum of some of the errors found so soon after a major event like the Ekka Show.  

(Just my opinion only).

I think its open long hours for several days, surely more than one operator?

[triplewitch]

Seems rather harsh to be let go for only one mistake if that is the case.  Does the RAM or any other Australian agency have any legal grounds to confiscate the coin should it be offered for sale or displayed publicly?-John

There was definitely more than 1 operator on the 3 days we went we saw 4 different people operating it & i'd suggest that there would have been more than we saw.
I had'nt really thought about a value so when the figure of 6K was thrown into the discussion my Mrs nearly fainted LOL,6K really ?
Thats about 1/4 of a brand new decent car these days & i need one LOL.

Not sure Triplewitch.   I know all my error coins that are currently on display at the RAM are under contract and in that contract there is a clause which prevents the RAM from claiming these error coins.

I would presume that if an error coin got out into the public arena, then the TRAM would waive it's claim to retrieve that coin.

I am only suggesting that could be the figure value of this one coin.

I just used that figure as an ex forum member who was selling the "non" mint marked coins was asking $6,000 and that was for a coin that had three brothers, (that is four in total).

Only one way to find out..........what the coin is really worth.

Coin of the year, its fabulous. :dance:

:i_agree: So unusual.

Getting back to what troutski said about the 1930 penny. I would say the 1930 is on my wantlist but this one is way out of my leauge.

The 2013 Ekka opened on August 8 and continued until August 17.
Too early to suggest one person has a unique error worth potentially $6k

Too early to suggest one person has a unique error worth potentially $6k

Oh really?

First up, the $6k wasn't for a unique error. It was one of a small group.
Secondly, given previous events and the way the press works, total mintage for the show is almost certainly under 10,000.
Thirdly, they do watch the process like hawks, and are pretty careful about not letting stuffups escape.

It may not be unique, but its not far off it.

Shallow? Portable press you mean? If so I've got a couple that were destined for Goldy that never quite made it.

I am unsure what "shallow" means :ok:
