coinsguy999 New Member Australia 5 Posts	Posted 11/07/2017 04:09 am Sorry it is kind of hard to get a good image but the coin itself appears to be alot more defined and deeper in its press and around that area of the rim (but a bit lower than the arrow is pointing in coasters post) it does look like its got some sort of a dip in the middle especially when compared to other 2 dollar coins Edited by coinsguy999 11/07/2017 04:15 am Report this Post to the Staff

Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 11/07/2017 06:23 am Not sure what year your coin is coinsguy999, but that type of occurrence is fairly common on 1998 - 2001 coins. I'll try to remember to post some piccies tomorrow. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Edited by Nevol 11/07/2017 4:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff

ace_ftw Pillar of the Community Canada 1747 Posts	Posted 11/07/2017 6:54 pm the OP coin is what is commonly called a MAD coin, Misaligned Die. the coin planchet was not seated correctly between the hammer and anvil dies, when the coin was struck, the flanged edge was outside of the hammer die. In the OP's coin this is a minor example, and would not generate any extra premium on the coin as an error. Report this Post to the Staff
