As I am really new to coin collecting I am trying to determine what is wrong with the $2 coin I have. Is it whats called a Cud or a mistrike etc. Below is the OBVERSE and REVERSE scans. I would appreciate any help to what it is.   Edited by urbanski

Yass is correct, slightly off center and something you see all the time. Worth $2.

Before you spend it, make sure that there's not a small Rim Cud on the Rev, diagonally to the right & above the Grass Plant at approx the 2.15 - 2.30 position. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

Nancy, I infer that, if you are getting into CCF, that you are still above water ...
Urbanski, I'd keep that one until I found a better one.
Collecting from circulation has the advantage of minimizing your expenses.

I concur with Nancy. Looks like a small rim Cud and, therefore, worth keeping. Nancy advised me this morning she is well above the water but I did see some footage of roof tops just out of the water that were stated to be in the suburb where she lives! I assume she must be reasonably close. Jeff |

Many thanks to all who replied, nancy yes you are also correct there is a small Cud at around 2.15 ......sharp eyes or what. I originally thought it to be (after I submitted it and apart from a small Cud)to be perhaps a centered broad strike. Cheers Edited by urbanski

urbanski great skills with placing pictures here
Nothing unusual about this common well circulated $2 coin,most $2 coins are not centred perfectly and the $2 is the only decimal circulated coin with no known variety or scarce type

I am quite high & dry, thanks for asking and being concerned.  I consider myself very lucky compared to tens of thousands of others in Qld. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

The 1999 $2 has two obverse type - large head close to the rim and small head text further from the rim The 2001 has two obverse varieties - large head with IRB spaced and smaller head joined. |

I'd love to tell you more, but it would be off topic. Start a new thread and I'll provide the details.
