I'm sure this has been previously discussed, but I can't find a thread on it, so I'm starting this one. This mule is well-known to Aussies. It's not very spectacular, but it's quite real. Interest seems to be on the rise, so I thought I'd bring this to the attention of other noodlers - a recently-completed (14 Mar) internet auction - Item number: 160554533389, described as - 2000 ONE DOLLAR / TEN CENTS MULE ERROR HIGH GRADE GVF + King Of Australian Error Coins Well Centred GOOD LUSTRE 13 bids; Winning bid: AU $504.00 Eyes down ! |

This thread has some basic info on the mule in it. Quote:
...King Of Australian Error Coins... "King" of decimal errors, perhaps, but I'd have thought the "king of Australian error coins" would surely be the 1916 India/Australia mule halfpenny.
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

Sap, the 1916 was what I had in mind when I described the 2000 $ as "not very spectacular".
But to my mind, the stand-out winner must be the NZ-Bermuda mule. Of course, we're proud of all things Aussie, even errors, but we can't hold a candle to that one.

Aww so sad, Seem like a case of being ripped off? Well a newbie seller could be a derrrrr moment. Anyway the buyer hasn't done there homework, first they only used the online tracking system to try and find the item, from experience I always get my post office lady to scan the item so its in the system so people can track items from second 1. The registered number does exist, as the post office issued it. So the item must be in transit somewhere? In such a case, my lovely Australia post lady would have tracked down the item for me. "If it existed- was posted". Happen to me once, had an item on ebay I bought ages ago, went missing, but post office lady tracked it down for me, "get this" the poor item was sent back to the senders post office, then posted to wrong box number, then reposted to a secondary post office in my area. Anyway weeks later the darn thing turned up. I am assuming it's because the person did not have clear handwriting on the numbers on the letter. |

kinda off topic, but like Australian Coin I have spent a lot of time and effort building a strong relationship with a lady at my local post office and it has saved me many times! I highly recommend to anyone purchasing rare and / or expensive items that are posted to put in the time with the local post office to get to know them and more importantly for them to get to know you.
