ChuckBass New Member Australia 5 Posts	Posted 12/08/2017 7:43 pm I recently found this coin and followed a link to this forum but the post was over five years old. I apologise if this post is to an inappropriate area of the forum. I'm wondering about the value and scarcity of this coin. Any help appreciated.. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

ChuckBass New Member Australia 5 Posts	Posted 12/09/2017 7:20 pm Thanks SPP. Does this make it more valuable? I'm finding hard to find anything for a direct comparison. It seems a little more exaggerated than the one other similar example I've been able to find. Report this Post to the Staff
Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 12/09/2017 8:20 pm IMHO it should be worth at least $200 or so due to $2 Partial collar errors being so rarely found. If the condition is really nice with no dings or severe damage, price might be higher. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 12/09/2017 9:12 pm I'm not familiar with the value of error coins -- other than US coins and the prices are all over the place. Find the right customer and you could get a great price. Meanwhile, keep it safe. As Nevol posted, damage will lower the value. Handle it by the edges. Fingerprints will show up. Since you found this coin -- maybe you plan on keeping it -- and in no time at all you'll be hooked on the hobby. If you sold it, you might regret it. So take your time. Report this Post to the Staff
ChuckBass New Member Australia 5 Posts	Posted 12/09/2017 11:50 pm It's funny you say that Buddy. I found a pre decimal coin in my change which I've held onto that started my interest in coins. That led me to noticing this. I'm in a unique position to noodle as I work for a company thatprocesses 30-50 k change weekly. I have been collecting lots of colour $2 and commemorative 50 cent coins but looking at posts on this site I've probably been missing the truly valuable ones... thanks again for the help.
