Welcome Selva. These are not Flamingo cuds. I have attached a picture to show you what to look for. There is a die crack with a big die chip on the end of the five which resembles a flamingo's beak.

I just read this on https://conecaonline.org/the-9-clas...oubled-dies/

Distended Hub Doubling: Distended hub doubling is related to a sideways (lateral) expansion that occurs during the hubbing process causing a unique misalignment event. The expansion of the die face is hindered in areas where raised elements on the face of the working hub interlock with the newly or previously penetrated die face. The lateral expansion causes distortion in elements that are relatively near the periphery of the die face as the die expands around stationary elements of the hub creating an expanded void laterally. The affected elements can be thickened, and may show sloping, pointing, or twisted regions that typically taper off on elements that are parallel to the rims.

Here are some complete images of the obverse and reverse. Do you think the distended hub doubling might be whats going on?

Does anyone know what is going on with this 1966 Perth 2 cent coin? The 1st picture is the coin and the 2nd picture is a normal coin.

Thanks.

WOW. That was an interesting read. Sounds like most of them could be sold or in circulation by now. Am I a criminal now?

Thank you Sap. Chemical exposure may explain the copper coloured chip as well. It also crossed my mind that it may have been dropped on a beach and exposed to salt water and sand abrasion.

By comparing with another 1992 coin in aunc, his mouth looks wrong.

What do you think about the metal under the chip on the left? It looks different to normal damaged coins.

It weighs light. 6.37g vs 6.58g average over another 4 coins.

Hi,

I have looked at this, then thrown it back and then I retrieved it for another look. It doesn't look right to me but it may just be toning and wear. I would appreciated more learned members opinions please. Is it real or counterfeit?






The top milled coin is a 1999 one with a similar level of wear on the rim to the 1994 coin.

Thank you.

Agreed this is fake. The date numerals are wrong.
