coaster Pillar of the Community Australia 1364 Posts	Posted 12/10/2017 04:50 am Has anyone heard of a 2c cent coin on a larger planchet? Normally 5.2g and 21.59mm width but apparently this one weighs 5.15g with a width of 24mm. Report this Post to the Staff

Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 12/10/2017 05:58 am A 24mm planchet wouldn't fit in the die for 2 cents as it would be too big, or it's be 'rolled' to make it larger. Other options, mint sport to me, or it's a counterfeit of some kind. Got any pictures? life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff

Here are a couple more term for you to research: 'out of collar', 'broadstrike', 'broadstruck' The following link will take you to an excellent site for Aussie coin errors: https://www.australian-coins.com/er...-misstrikes/ Great find BTW, and it also appears to be in nice condition. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 12/10/2017 5:34 pm To me, it looks like this coin got out of the collar / feeder finger and hence it looks like it got enlarged. That may explain why the weight is similar. Regardless, an interesting error!
