I've already taken it to one coin guy who said to take it to an expert to look at it closer but he said he doesn't think its been manufactured (as in someones tried to lathe it) but it's slightly thicker than you normal dollar by maybe half a millimetre and it weighs the same as a normal dollar coin. I'm located in Melb can anyone help me with this coin!? Cheers !! Report this Post to the Staff

Leeroyloggins New Member Australia 2 Posts	Posted 07/01/2021 07:37 am Hey Jimmy D yeah the coin guy I took it to says it doesn't look like somebody has manufactured it. When you look closely at it you can tell that it hasn't been machined because it's not perfectly circular it has little bumps and indents all the way around which would suggest it isn't. Plus it would be underweight if that were the case? Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16827 Posts	Posted 07/01/2021 7:57 pm My main issue with it being a "mint error" is that it's quite heavily worn. The coin loks distinctly odd, and I'd assume people (and the banks) would have pulled it out of circulation long before it got to this state. I'd concur post-mint damage. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Both in Melbourne area. Someone might have bought a new lathe and needs to see what mischief they can create. It looks a bit 'out of round' too. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
