Is this for real? I found a similar one yesterday and wasn't sure if it was PMD

I think it's difficult to tell, the photographs don't really help.

I think this could be duplicated and without handling the coin I think it's impossible to be sure.

Even if it were a mint error, is it really worth $250 ?

I don't think so.

Genuine PMD
This is a typical shed job "Vice coin"
I'm pretty sure that this clown is on Nancyc's list of dodgy sellers
Best thing to do is to report the listing to ebay

WOW! A rare 2008 gap 20¢ -only asked $26.50 (but free postage).

I am happy to take $2.00 each and have several.

Didn't sell.

Yes it is PMD & has been discussed in the "Compiling a list of 'Shed Job' PMD Sellers" it was $200 last time it was up.

Thanks all for the replies. I thought it was PMD when I first found mine but when I saw a very similar one on ebay, I thought there may be a chance it was something more worthwhile. My coin must have failed the quality control standards of the shed

I'm astonished that anyone would try to 'manufacture' an error coin using 2 different denominations. As though there's going to be an already minted 5 cent coin floating around in with the 50 cents while they are being minted.

The seller should go and get an education, maybe he/she will find some common sense along the way.

What a brainless twat!!

Seller has been on my list of ' ebay germs' for some time.

It isn't impossible for a 5 cent coin to get into a bin of 50 cent blanks (bin not completly emptied, mint employee dropping a coin into the wrong bin etc). I remember seeing in a magazine (CAB?) about 10 years ago a picture of a wartime florin (IIRC) with the indent from a threepence plancett.
But this case is PMD.
