Have ones with the I separate from the RB and others with IRB all touching. All the heads seem the same size. Can anyone point me to a link with comparison images or maybe upload an image? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 09/23/2020 7:35 pm Hmmm...Can't say I'm familiar with 2 varieties for the 2001 $2 coin. Do you have any more specific info about it? I have a fair few with errors but no varieties. Now that I think about it, it's possible that the I RB and IRB are the two varieties. Can any one else shed some light on this? life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1610 Posts	Posted 09/23/2020 11:33 pm Hi Nancy, Actually, looks like there might be 3 varieties but many of the specimens I have are worn. Also not sure of the joining could be grease in die. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces5213.html Cheers David Report this Post to the Staff

It would appear then David that you have the two varieties that are hardest to come by ... according to Numista most were the 'IRB spaced' with the large head (35,650,000) which is what the RAM lists as there total mintage (35.6m) for 2001. https://www.ramint.gov.au/two-dollars 2001 - "RB" joined and "I" spaced (1.1%) 2001 - Large Obv Head, IRB Spaced (13%) 2001 - Small Obv Head, IRB Joined (2.0%) https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces5213.html Edited by coaster 09/24/2020 04:17 am Report this Post to the Staff
Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 10/18/2020 03:09 am I believe the I R B and I R_B coins have different sized heads but I'm not sure which is which - there are only the two varieties as far as I know. Report this Post to the Staff
