Those are probably slightly off centre strikes, and there's so many of them, they're worth just $2. I had heaps of them at one stage, sent most to the bank and only kept a few just for curiosity's sake. If I remember correctly, 1999 was a real bad year for them. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff

Jeff Pillar of the Community Australia 877 Posts	Posted 12/30/2011 01:14 am About 18 months ago I listed a 1993 $2 coin on ebay (estimated EF+ grade) and a lady in Germany bought it for, I think, about $8. So any good low mintage coin is probably worth keeping. If you only come across one occasionally then the cost in any one week (or month) is small and total face value of kept coins is irrelevant as long as they are appreciating in value faster than in the bank [not hard to do that nowadays]. Of course the only certain test of this is to try to sell them one day -hindsight is a wonderful tool. Jeff Report this Post to the Staff
