It is not clear to me whether there are 2 separate features/omissions (i.e. the 1968 date and the missing SD initials) or whether one needs both. I have a pile of 2 cent coins which I have had for decades so I decided to have a look at them. I found the following coin. Is this valuable and if so, what would it be worth? Thanks Peter Report this Post to the Staff

True, your coin is a 1968 2c which is the second lowest mintage Australian 2c but I am sorry to tell you in that condition it is far from valuable. Maybe you could sell it for $2 or so unless this article has created a stir and people with no idea about the true value of coins are suddenly willing to pay ridiculous prices (which of course is the intention of this article).
