Vfox Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 If it's a legit error (Brockage error is likely) then you have a very nice and likely expensive coin there. The problem is it could also be a vice-job and could possibly be post-mint damage. I would ask a few error experts on here and if you cannot get a surefire answer, submit it for authentification purposes. It's nifty either way you look at it. Welcome to CP btw.

The obverse would be damaged if it were a vice job. Great find! Jos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vfox Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 It's totally ok. The obverse would be damaged if it were a vice job. Great find! Jos Jos, as always, your opinion on any error coin can be taken essentially as the truth. Jamie, if you don't intend on selling it I really wouldn't bother submitting it to a TPG, or the Australian equivalent to our US TPG's. Jos has a good eye for seeing errors for what they are, I would trust his opinion. Now...if you are planning to sell this coin, yes, send it for authentification. I say this for two reasons; first, a slabbed coin is almost always genuine, secondly, a slabbed coin will bring more money during the sale because of the TPG promise of legitimacy. If you do send it off however, please let us know of the grade/results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted May 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 G'Day all,i am sorry i haven't been on lately just working my ,you know what, off..Well due to the uncertainty of our economy and the current climate of my finances(which is just about to freeze)I have to seel of some of my errors and other coins to stay afloat..The wife and i just had a baby boy and it's might be time to convert some of my coin and stamp collection in to diapers and milk formula..sigh.lol..so i thought i would let you all know that it is on ebay at the moment with 3 days to go and you know any one who want's these coins drop me a line..I know i will eventually get my collection up to scratch again but for the moment my family and going to Australia to introduce my Wife, Son and Daughter to my Mom and rest of my family comes first..Anyways,these be the sacrifices we make for the people we love and it's not going to stop me coming on here to read up and catch up on the latest errors and discoveries made.Thanks you guys for checking out my coin and posting your comments ..If any are interested or you know anyone who might be let me know or check it out on ebay..Cya all soon...Jamie.
