Blanks

I have a blank Australian Penny & I know dealers sell blank Pennies for around $30.

Does the $2 have edge reeding in it? Because that'd interest me.

Aardvark, you've still got to get the 2c, 20c & 50c.

Hi aardvark *

the 1,5 & 10 if I were listing them on ebay i'd probably start them at $7.95 to $9.95 & let the punters decide what they are worth.
Probably $19.95 for the $1 & $2,if collectors are interested & i'd say there would be good interest in them then your likely to get a few bids & hope for a little bidding duel from a couple or few bidders & you might get lucky & get good bucks.

Ive never come across any but common/rare isn't really an indication of value if thats what your asking . Its all about supply and demand.

Not always,it depends on how many collectors are interested in them & if they see the listing & if they are there to bid & win at the end of the auction.

i dunno, they nearly all look PMD to me. I wouldn't buy them because they look 'funny' <--- I'm no expert, just a regular buyer on ebayer and the 'funnyness' would put me off, genuine or not.

How does anyone really know that these are Australian coin blanks? Is there any other foreign coin denomination that (within normal tolerances) that could also be the same dimensions and alloy.
Think of the old penny blanks. They could be Australian/British/NZ/South Africa/?/etc and if say blanks are scarce or popular in one country (to collectors) but common or unwanted in another then the enterprising/dishonest can make a killing.
The really dishonest could even make their own blanks. Its a lot easier to make a blank only than to make a blank plus a pair of dies to counterfeit money. Could you even be prosecuted with counterfeiting if you only make the blanks but not the dies? (Probably our enterprising "friends" in China could churn out blanks for hundreds of denominations, why pay $30 at a dealer for a tarnished penny blank when they can supply all you want for just a few dollars).

he he yes our china friends, I can get pre-decimal blanks made today delivered in 2 weeks by snail mail for $2 a pop.
But why would anyone want a replica?

Also there was a person in Europe that was selling error blank coins from the mint, probably an ex worker, anyway I picked up a cheap waffle error test type, end of run coin, because it looked so similar to an Aussie $1 blank.

Mine blank is kinda similar to this link except is has more ripples and they go from end to end.
