Charl Valued Member Australia 81 Posts	Posted 12/06/2018 03:56 am Hi everyone, Being new to coin collecting, I'm facing a big problem where I'm keeping most of the "odd" looking error coins without knowing if it's worth any value or not Would appreciate if you could help me to compile my "worth to keep errors or variations" list. 1st I would like to know the different type of errors 2nd I would like to know if its common error or legendary error (example grading common, uncommon, rare, super rare or legendary) 3rd I would like to know if it's worth any value if I am to keep or sell coins with such error. I know it is not a straight foward answer to these questions, however I'm hoping with everyone's help that I can compile my own coin collections in a systematic way. Big thanks in advance for your time and contribution Report this Post to the Staff

Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 12/06/2018 05:47 am As coaster suggested there's a bit of reading to get proper answers to those questions. Probably worth posting a few of your coins for opinions here to start getting an idea of things. Report this Post to the Staff

Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 12/06/2018 5:29 pm I have masses of Aust Error coins, pics of many are posted on this forum, but some of my images were in Photobucket, so the links are broken. If there is a description of a coin with no piccie, and you'd like to see it, just let me know here and I'll re-post it as I still have all my images. It's been a while since I did any noodling, so no images of recent errors. If you feel like taking a stroll through my threads by error type or denomination, have a look here: Australian - $1- Rim Cuds - 1/26/2008 http://goccf.com/t/24728 5 Cent Die Cracks - 12/21/2011 http://goccf.com/t/105705 10 cent Die cracks - 12/25/2011 http://goccf.com/t/105943 20 cent Die Cracks - 12/25/2011 http://goccf.com/t/105950 50 Cent Die Cracks - 1/25/2012 http://goccf.com/t/109021 $1 Errors - 5/21/2012 http://goccf.com/t/119643 Australian $1 Varieties - 2/1/2013 http://goccf.com/t/140674 $1 One Dollar Errors http://goccf.com/t/143153 20 Cent Errors - General - 4/30/2012 http://goccf.com/t/117955 10c Obverse / Reverse Cuds - 2/6/2012 http://goccf.com/t/110105 2005 WWII 50 cent List of errors - 1/9/2012 http://goccf.com/t/107238 2001 Centenary of Federation 50 Cent Errors - 1/13/2012 http://goccf.com/t/107623 2001 Centenary of Federation 20c Errors - 1/15/2012 http://goccf.com/t/107925 Some Aussie Lamination / Planchet Flaws - 1/30/2012 http://goccf.com/t/109537 Die Clashed Australian Decimal Coins - 3/14/2012 http://goccf.com/t/113842 Rim Cud Pictures 6/30/2012 http://goccf.com/t/122868 life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff

Charl Valued Member Australia 81 Posts	Posted 12/07/2018 8:55 pm Hey everyone, Opened my first 5 cents roll and found this coin. Need some expert opinions please This is a 2008 coin. I noticed that there is Cud on bottom left paw and rim Cud. However I also noticed the full inside ring. What error is the inner ring called? I noticed 2 more 2008 5 cents with the inside ring, is it a common error? And what would the value be if I am to sell this coin online (thinking to fund a USB microscope ) I also tried to wipe the black/dark stains on the right side of coin using a microfiber cloth but could not remove it. Is that also considered an error? On a different coin, I found an edge or rim error on a $2 coin and don't know the name for this error. It would be great if someone can help me with the name of the error. Is this a common error and what would be the estimated value of this coin? Thanks everyone for your time and enjoy the weekend!

Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 12/09/2018 01:15 am Nice finds. The 2008 5c with the inner ring is an odd one - many 5c pieces that year have the inner but no one seems to have got to the bottom of it. It does have a rim Cud though (the raised bit of rim to the left of the echidna) - I think they're more often seen on dollar coins though. The two dollar coin is an off-centre strike at least - do you have a picture of the edge? Report this Post to the Staff
Charl Valued Member Australia 81 Posts	Posted 12/09/2018 04:30 am 5 cents - Does anyone know what might cause the dark spot on the right side of the coin? $2 dollar - Had a look at the edge and everything is normal. By the way, what is the different between off-center strike and broadstruck? Report this Post to the Staff
