Mitchell New Member Australia 48 Posts	Posted 02/18/2011 4:42 pm I've found another upset coin! Happy faces all around! This time it's a 50 cent coin (2010 (regular, not the Australia day one)) and it's off by 30Â°. Has anyone else found something like this(for the 50 cent coin)? Once again, sorry for the image quality. Edited by Mitchell 02/18/2011 8:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff

gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 02/19/2011 09:06 am This coin is significantly rarer because I presume the dies have to be fixed to fit in the planchet otherwise the error would have been easily spotted. Definitely get some help on this coin because it's my first time seeing it too, let alone hearing it! Wow.

biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 02/19/2011 12:07 pm I think what you're calling "upset" in commonly called a rotated reverse in the US. Easiest way to photograph/scan such a coin is put it in a square 2x2. When you flip to the other side, it will be obvious how much it rotated. In US coins you see rotated reverses frequently on large cents. Back to the OP coin. Unless I miss my guess, rotations would have to occur in multiples of 30Â°, or the rim wouldn't fit in the collar. Since it looks like yours is two (of 12) flat edges off, that would make it 60Â° rotated. I've done real well selling errors on ebay, and the bigger the coin, the more valuable the error tends to be. If you go that route, make sure you are available on ebay US as well as OZ, because that's where the error market is strongest. Report this Post to the Staff
Mitchell New Member Australia 48 Posts	Posted 02/19/2011 4:02 pm It's very interesting that no one's ever heard of something like this. Anyway, here's the coin on a grid, as requested: http://s1107.photobucket.com/albums...P2200456.jpg http://s1107.photobucket.com/albums...P2200460.jpg Sorry that I had to photograph it, my copyer wasn't working. I'll try to get it up and working soon, but in the meantime this will have to do. Edited by Mitchell 02/20/2011 3:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff
