1988 $5 Coin With Errors

I've just been given one of these but it doesn't have any errors.
I'm quite surprised no one bid on it but when you factor in postage it gets a bit expensive.

I just checked my 4 coins and found one with a mark just in front of the 1st E in Elizabeth. It's not raised or incuse, so just what it is, I can't say. Looks a bit like a croc under the surface. Some sort of planchet flaw I guess.

What was a concern though, was that all 4 have been sweating and all had a clear sticky goo on them. Needless to say, they are all out of the plastic flips now, have had a warm water wash and rinse with filtered water, and are now residing in a ‘safe' environment.

They're all Commonwealth Bank, and the flips are very slightly smaller than a 2x2.

One other coin had some minor Trail Dies (I always think that should be Die Trails) above 'LIZ' and most of Australia, but not worth bothering about IMO.

The 'croc'



The goo!



The flip

In this small plastic type tray, just sitting on my desk. It holds about 100 2x2's. I have about 2 dozen trays, all full of coins in 2x2's, but I feel the flips were the problem.

Yet another great reason to remove coins from their "nasty" mint packaging and put them safely away in 2x2's
