The 1984 $1 is missing date and letters
The 1996 $2 has a blob section around the crown (don't know about 5c) will have to see what other say, I don't know much about $2 coins.
And the back of it miss struck

Hi domenic,the 1984 $1 is die fill which means something has obstructed the strike,could be grease or oil ? The $2 look like it has a large Cud on the crown,can't see anything to do with a 5 cent from your pic though,better pictures maybe needed as Ausjack said. I don't think the reverse of the $2 could be considered a miss strike just a slightly off centre strike really only about a millimetre or less in it. |

compare the queens head with others from the same year, if none are the same you hit the jackpot if not, like me you will learn from checking

i meant like the 5 cent peice meaning same as a 1996 could have been stamped on a 2 dollar coin, (check pic) also found these 1980 20 cents the " 2" has a wave in it at the end , could this be like the 1966 coin and be an error?    |

Welcome. If by wave you mean the slight upright stoke at the right end of the base then every 20c minted has this. I'll start out by saying I'm only fairly new to errors as well. Could the ' Cud' on the $2 be glue as in the case of an example posted last week. I don't think the rim on the $2 reverse is mistruck too badly. I have seen many $2 like this. I don't think the $2 obverse is a 5c I cant see any difference between the thickness of this rim and a normal $2. The $1 seems to have a lot of wear. Hopefully it is a mint error but I do wonder considering so much other detail is worm. |

Hi Domenic, The best advice I can give you is to get your self a coin book, either Australian Coins and Banknotes by Greg McDonald or a copy of Rennik's Australian Coin and Banknote Values or go to your local library and see if they have one or can get one..it will help a lot with mintages, prices and some handy hints as to what to look for etc. So you have two sides to a coin one is called the obverse (queens head) and the other is reverse. What I think your talking about with the $2 is called the obverse and that's the image they used on all denominations made from 1985 to 1998. So from 1966 to 84 you have a young queen then they aged her at 1985/98 then again at 1999 to now. Hope I explained that OK and if anyone else can add anything please do  |

I had a look and strained my brain with this,
$2 coin if you look at the A's in Australia it should be pointed at the tip.
And the 5c should have the A's flattened at the tip.
I think that's the only difference I could see.
No there is no wave in the 20c, all 2's in 20c have a curl up at the end of the 2.

with the 20 cent the point I see on all , it is the bottom line I'm talking about as you see one has a straight bottom line and compared to the other from right to left isn't straight.

no jackpot this time. but hang around and keep looking, you will get a good un one day, took me a few months of noodling before I found anything decent, search club foot roo in the error section. and all that did was make me more determined to find my next one :)

whatever that is in the crown. That part looks like a planchet flaw to me, also known as a lamination flaw. They come in all shapes and sizes. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved
