wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 12/30/2008 03:05 am hmm... I'm no expert but IMHO, either Struck Through Grease or a counterfeit... Is the 1982 2c rare in anyway? Report this Post to the Staff
latman100 Pillar of the Community Australia 1040 Posts	Posted 12/30/2008 03:28 am This coin is not rare by any means. Uncirculated value just $2. It isn't counterfeit, why bother with such a low value coin, and it isn't a strike through, the metal seems to have 'flowed' in places. Report this Post to the Staff
markn Pillar of the Community Australia 1295 Posts	Posted 12/31/2008 8:39 pm I would say it has almost certainly been dipped in acid. That wavyness is typical of an acid dipped coin. Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 01/16/2009 1:52 pm Because that would be far less profitable than that guy who counterfeited US nickels in the 40s? It would take a lot longer to reach break-even on tooling/startup costs on a 2c than say a $1 or $2 coin. Report this Post to the Staff
