gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 05/03/2015 12:22 pm I suspect its counterfeit 2 dollar coin. There was a post earlier where a seller claimed the coin was a mule with 5 cent piece when in reality it was a counterfeit. That said, please post a photo if possible!

agent86 Valued Member Australia 75 Posts	Posted 05/08/2015 8:41 pm The obverse die is slightly off centre, allowing metal to force its way between collar and obverse die on one side. The size of the effigy on those coins is the same as the size of the effigy on any other $2 coin, therefore was struck with a $2 obverse die therefore not a mule. I remember a few years ago someone showed comparisons of size of the effigy on those type of coins and the 5c. The effigy was larger than the 5c effigy and the same as a normal $2.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 05/08/2015 8:52 pm @ Sally_Coin: I thought my sister had just chimed up on the CCF! That's the sort of coin searching she would do. I started her collection off with a Melbourne Centenary Florin, but that was forty years ago. She lives on the North Coast of NSW. I have a brother who lives in Kalamunda. I will have to twist her arm to join the CCF, so we can talk coins a little more. Report this Post to the Staff

Sally_Coin New Member Australia 10 Posts	Posted 05/10/2015 03:21 am Are off center strikes worth anything or should the coins just go back into circulation? Report this Post to the Staff

If they are significantly off centre, I would keep them, more as a curiosity than anything else, they might be worth up to about 5 x Face. Other less off centre would go back into circulation. But....always check the edges of them all, just in case you might have found an out of collar coin. Examples below: $2 1993 Straight Partial Collar - Missing Some Reeding 10c 2006 Edge - Tilted Partial Collar These coins are worth quite a bit more, but a lot depends on the condition of the coin. Possibly around $20 - $50, but more if in really good condition. If I were to sell some of mine, I might get $20 or so for each, but to me they are keepers. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
