RAD change New Member Australia 44 Posts	Posted 04/23/2012 03:29 am I bought this tiny platinum coin on ebay about a month ago, but hadn't looked at it with a loupe until today. Now I don't know whether to laugh or cry The outer rim on both sides is raised all around, and there are a couple of Cuds attached to the rim on the reverse side. Will this devalue the coin or add value when I decide to sell it? It was kinda hard getting photo's through the capsule, but I hope you get the general idea. This is the reverse side with the Cuds circled. This is the obverse side. Report this Post to the Staff

If it's a tiny coin, then no-one will know the wiser. I can't comment on pricing...notes are my forte. Report this Post to the Staff
RAD change New Member Australia 44 Posts	Posted 04/23/2012 06:02 am The coin is a 1993 'The Australian Koala' Proof 1/20 oz, from Perth Mint originally. In the very distant future it could end up in the hands of a coin dealer, so it could get closely examined. If it's bad news, I'd rather know ahead of time. Don't think I'll be looking too closely at any of my other proofs in future either Report this Post to the Staff

I would recommend opening the capsule and taking a closer look at the edge to see if it is the capsule or the coin itself. Report this Post to the Staff
