Look at the waffled 2 Euro he's selling for USD$11,000.

Now guys, sometimes even I drop some sort of bizarre word bomb since I type on here in english, but conduct my daily life in two other languages. Don't be too mean on that one. His coins are funny enough.

I know what you mean. With 2 degrees, having taught college, born and raised in the USA, I find I need spell check for everything. I sometimes wonder how I know how to spell my name. With coins like those shown here, I wonder just how serious those sellers really are. Ever wonder if some may just have a fantastic CENTS of humor? |

That's a pretty severe die error. So I assume the way this happened was the German mint decided to make the outside part of the coin planchet first and then the middle part the next day, but they forgot this one?

Epi,
Sort of the summary of the comments is that it isn't an error. Someone got very happy with a hammer or other weapon of numismatic destruction after the coin was in circulation.

He certainly provides enough good pix to show the coins are not errors. Why is all the other damage on the first coin? Place the center over a slightly bigger hole and give it one good whack. Looking at the center hole damage, it's obvious it didn't "fall" out.

At least he relisted it at a more realistic price: 99¢. Which I wouldn't pay, BTW, as the price of washers is about a nickel, I believe.

I'm aware;I was being sarcastic and joining in on the fun. I can't believe this guy's actually selling this mutilated piece of metal. The close-up shots he put up make it even funnier. I'm not even sure he believes it's worth something. |

Collectors from other countries find our fascination with "mint errors" confounding. An accidental "mint error" in a foreign country is worth LESS, not more. I've never quite understood the attraction to them myself. A variation is something done purposely, and in small numbers is rare and makes sense. Something done accidentally, like a clipped planchet or a die rotation? That's not a mint error, it's an accident. The recent actual mint error in Chile where many thousand coins of a particular denomination went out with the country name spelled "CHIIE", now that's an actual error variation.
