OliverGigacz New Member Australia 7 Posts	Posted 01/17/2017 02:26 am Found this among my change today, I am fairly new to coin collecting but this one caught my eye. To me it looks like it has been mistruck or something. Was wondering what other people thought? Report this Post to the Staff

Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 01/17/2017 5:20 pm I can't remember when I started noodling, most likely 2006 when I retired, and I stopped in 2011. I found about 13 Collar error coins in that time. Mostly 5c, from 2000-08, 3 x 10c and 1 x $2. Some of the 5c I even have multiples of. The main thing to look for initially is whether the coin appears to be struck off centre, then check the rims. Your 2008 10c is new to me. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Edited by Nevol 01/17/2017 5:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Hercules Valued Member Australia 248 Posts	Posted 01/17/2017 11:23 pm That's a very beautiful coin. Well done! To get an indication of how rare it is, keep in mind that I've noodled over $1000 worth of 10c coins and not found one. I've got a couple of 5c ones, but none from the other denominations.
