To me it looks like part of the reverse design is going from the bottom of the queens bust runs up toward the front of her face & the same on the other side from shoulder uparound the back of her head, can only just make it out but IMO it's there.

poppycoke2010. Good luck with the weighting of the coin. I hope it is a genuine fault. Recently my noodling has not been so lucky. I think I have hit a "dry" patch  . One thing that I have noticed is a lot of 1981 20 cent coins that appear deeply struck - with a projecting rim. Maybe a lot of these ended up in somebody's dirty laundry, and came out as "washing machine jobs"  Anyway, hope to have a lucky find to report for my 100 post on this forum  Squire |

Brockage hmm does anyone know what a coin like this would be worth... I have done some googling but have found nothing similar! I am thinking this is a 1968 2 cent piece as it is in an album with 6 x 1968 2 cent pieces Cheer's |

I agree with markn, could well be a late stage brockage. I have a couple threepences that share a similar look (as far as smooth looking) with slight detail still present. Some people may call it oil filled die, but it's definitely not. Have a look at a couple of pictures in the Threepence error post, it's about two-thirds (2/3) down the page: https://goccf.com/t/116362&whichpage=3I'm loving it. You can just see the silhouette of the queens portrait. With some very light underlying points of the frill necked lizard. Any chance put up a bigger shot of the brockage style. |

I don't think there's much doubt that it's a late state brockage. Below I've highlighted some features on the error coin and matched them with the mirror image of a reverse of a 2c. The evidence is reasonably conclusive. Great error coin and well done hanging onto it for so long.  Edited by markn

poppy- Errors are their own market, and I don't think they've caught on in OZ as in the US. Try generic searches on ebay, like brockage australian coin. |

I'd pay up to $200-$300 for it. It's very late state and there's not much of the design present. Early state brockages on copper coins usually fetch $500-$1000+

I suggested a little more than Markn. I think confirming patterns in the design makes it more valuable than just a reverse smooge. The brockage man goatie would know.

Perhaps the market has moved upwards a bit more than I'd realised in the last year or so :)
