ibool New Member Australia 22 Posts	Posted 12/02/2012 12:08 am the reeding on this $2 is completely different to any other I've seen. it is 2008, and the reeding it flat instead of being 'cut in'. Does any body have any infomation? Thanks, Ian Report this Post to the Staff

This is an older 'Locked' topic about them. http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...PIC_ID=13718 life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
awildeheart Valued Member Australia 295 Posts	Posted 12/02/2012 05:39 am I have a couple of these and some $1 coins as well with the same rimming. I've noticed on most of them that they also are a little off centre. My guess (without any technical knowledge) is that the rim die hasn't locked in properly because the planchet wasn't sitting correctly and the planchet has moved a little. And this minute movement has caused the rims to be gouged a little wider. That's my theory until I hear something better ... Report this Post to the Staff
airgem Valued Member Australia 369 Posts	Posted 12/02/2012 7:30 pm If studied closely there are slight variations in the reeding in all denominations. Most noticable on Unc coins, so I guess nobody takes much notice. Report this Post to the Staff
goatieman23 Pillar of the Community Australia 869 Posts	Posted 12/03/2012 06:12 am I kept a couple of those as well. I'm not sure what the deal was with them, but it seems like the machinery wasn't set properly to cut in the reeds. From my knowledge quite a scarce reeding. Report this Post to the Staff
ibool New Member Australia 22 Posts	Posted 12/04/2012 01:00 am its definitely not a counterfit, I've seen them before, awildeheart and goatieman23' sound right, and yes mine is also a little off-centre. Report this Post to the Staff
