Looks as though it is dated 2005 and I'm fairly certain that I've seen a similar coin previously on ebay. Quote:
and probable counterfeit with this pic Hi sel_69l, what indicators do you see that makes you think that it might be a fake? |

I found it in a coin roll from Nab. I have other pics in better light. This one seemed to show detail the best.
I would be prepared to say with 100% certainty this is a real $2, having handled them since their inception. But for the sake of the suggestion, how would one distinguish a real from a counterfeit $2.
The error or wear or whatever was my query.
Thanks

Thanks for the welcome! Yes I had a read of your links above and I believe it does fit the Greaser category :) |

NRK72, when posting your photos it's always a good idea to orientate them correctly and to show both sides as well. Quote:

Ok I'll ensure I show both sides in future.
Replies have been very informative.
Thanks :)

The design features of this coin are rather indistinct.
My problem is that from the pics, I cannot really make up my mind if the lack of sharp detail is due to wear, or it is counterfeit.
Hence the reason for wanting to know the accurate weight.

  On close inspection of the front I'm not sure if it's real now. Does this look to be fake? |

So far as weighing it goes I only have kitchen scales that do one decimal point and it's showing 6.5

Greaser or very weakly struck coin.
