I'm half way through a $40 bag of 5 cent coins & came across this,   which made me do this  ! |

Looks like a similar error to the one I posted about recently - although yours is in better condition than mine.
Congratulations on your find!

Nice find!  I've just gone through $10 of 5c and $10 of 10c and found absolutely nothing. |

well done. It seems to me that 5-cent errors don't often come to light. Maybe we handle them less or pay less attention to them ?

Thank you, thank you  Peter I think you are right there, I had never paid much attention to my 5cents, and have read little about 5cent errors to collect. I have however come across a few interesting coins today in my search through the 5's. I hope to post my findings in the next few days. |

You found several interesting coins in only $40 of 5 cent coins?
Sounds like you have been pretty lucky!

Haha, don't get excited yet - they may be nothing at all! Oh gosh, now I feel the pressure to produce something good  |

I agree with Nancy.
Even if there is nothing else, you have done well.

Aren't these called 'miss strike' errors or something?

Great find you have there.
I found a cracking $2 coin recently and I left it on the table to look at when I came home from work, little did my girlfriend know and she accidently spent it.....
Now time to start sorting my 5c coins I think as my bucket is getting full.

Heaps more 2006 than any other year.  Got a few errors to report when I'm done. It's been so long since I got any bulk coins, I did not know they no longer have the cloth bags. Apparently all bulk coins are now in quite tough plastic bags now, at least at 'Which Bank' they are.  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved
