MachinMachinMan Pillar of the Community Australia 1985 Posts	Posted 10/29/2022 12:25 am I don't see how this can be natural wear: The only similar wear I've seen on Australian coins has been on early florins: But these two dollar coins are 20 years old at most. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 10/29/2022 12:52 am Two Dollar coins have been forged. One way to cover up the markers that would indicate a forgery would be to 'jingle' such fakes or subject them to very heavy artificial wear. If a genuine coin or not, this coin would not have any interest to a collector. Report this Post to the Staff

The guy who was stealing the $2 Coins from the RAM in the 1990's induced wear by putting them in a plastic jar/container and running the cycle thru a washing machine. Report this Post to the Staff
