2002 New Zealand $1 coin date error

[Aussiek8]

Hi,
 I'm just wondering about the unusual shape of both number 2's in the date.
Is there any rarity or value to this error coin?
Thanking you in advance for looking.

:welcome: aboard k8, hope you enjoy mate. I only have one kiwi dollar but I'd say at a very rough guess you have a double cud :good: here's a pic of the $1 I have

[Aussiek8]

Thanks jack . Very new to it all, and slowly learning. Do you think a double cud is rare at all? I'll keep searching through my stash of coins

I wouldnt hve said it was rare or valuable but it is something interesting, well worth hanging onto.

Thanks for the photos 'blobby coins' is that another term for them?
My lil blobs look like two swans with lovely tails lol

[enworb]

Blobby coins isnt a term that is usually used but it is descriptive i suppose.

A 'cud' is what they are usually called.

[ausjack]

I was just going off what they called them..sorry :angel: Yes we'd call them cuds as I first posted

[Nevol]

We often give cud errors that resemble 'something' a name, so I agree with you that it looks like 2 swans, so how about it?  Want to refer to it as NZ 2002 $1 'double swan'?  :angel:

[Aussiek8]

Nevol, fantastic one of a kind maybe hmm the possibilities hehe
