OneDollarMule Valued Member Australia 338 Posts	Posted 06/29/2011 10:39 am Hey guys, A little while ago I found what appeared to be a double rim on a 2008 5c piece, didn't think too much of it and put it a folder. This week, however, I've been noodling for a 1972 5c (found one so far out of $80 worth of coins), while searching though the coins I noticed this double rim again. Its not massively common but a fair number of the 2008 5c have at least a double rim on one side of the coin, with some having on both sides. Was just wondering what would cause this and how scarce the error is regarded as being. Any help would be great! Report this Post to the Staff

My first guess is that you might be describing an off centre mistrike/broadstrike which can happen some times. Heres a pic from an ended ebay listing http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ERROR-AU...350456783957 And a previous coin community topic https://goccf.com/t/70082 Hope this helps :) Report this Post to the Staff

Some of the coins I've found are more pronounced than this one, I'll try post some pics this evening. Its not quite an off centre coin but there is defiantly something strange going on.
