DaytR Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 837 Posts	Posted 05/24/2013 3:40 pm The coin looks both intriguing and suspicious ! The hologram is definitely something I have never seen before . The edges seem like like maybe its PMD ..... Looking at the coin were the two different metals meet there isn't that little space or crevice - it looks a bit like its not bimetallic - unfortunately the pictures of the coin are low resolution ..... but the coin raises a few question marks !

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 06/07/2013 8:13 pm I think the "error" are the raised, warped bumps around the rim, which are better viewed face-on. These are caused by the lettering on the collar pushing metal out of their way, usually because the letters are too thick or close to the edge. Our new toonies have edge lettering, and it's a rare coin that lacks these unsightly bumps. So they're an error, but an error so common that we can't overlook how ugly it is (like how many ancients are struck off-center, so they stop being a rarity and start becoming an annoyance). However, if the 2-pound coin doesn't often show these bumps (I have no idea if this is the case), it could be a real "error" - just a dumb one with little desirability. In this case, they definitely should have shown the edge lettering, in case it's significantly misplaced (which would be interesting). Report this Post to the Staff
Tom Goodheart Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 856 Posts	Posted 06/08/2013 06:17 am From the photo it could just as easily be that someone has gone around the edge tapping it with a hammer. Mint error? Where's the evidence to show that? None that I can see from the listing. Report this Post to the Staff
