DebbieM New Member South Africa 27 Posts	Posted 03/14/2011 4:25 pm This is a South Africa R2.00 (Rand) coin. I think it is called a "clamshell" or "split planchet error" coin. I am trying to find out if there is a value attached to such a mint error. I have a letter from the SA Mint to say it is manufactured by them.

It's a wide range. Being that this coin is foreign, it might sell on the lower side. that just seems to be the trend. Report this Post to the Staff

Thanks for looking, mdpmedia Report this Post to the Staff
