2 Error Coins...

[Digger...]

Putting a few error coins up for sale towards the new camera.

This is a year 2000 1$ Mule, the obverse was actually stamped with a 10 cent die which is smaller giving it a 2nd ring within the circumference of the coin. The current bid is $200 atm.

The 1966 Wavy Base Line 20ct, current bid is $200 also... i have 3.

In 1966 the 20 cent piece was minted in 2 different locations. About half of those coins were minted in Canberra and half in London at the Royal Mint in Birmingham. Of the 30 million coins minted in London just one of the dies that were used to press those coins was different. There was a small difference that makes this coin unique and worth a great deal more.

The oddity is that one die had a small differing feature. This variety is in the base of the 2 of the 20 on the reverse of the coin. There is an upward curve in that baseline of the 2 often called a wave, thus the nickname the ‘wavy 20’ or ‘wavy baseline 20 cent’.

Comparison,

Half the coins were printed in England. There was an error so the "wavy" coin was touched up. I suppose repressed correct?

I don't know why but it's funny that you mention your selling them as of now a.k.a Ladybug flir redirect.

I've found it amusing over the years that Canada prints their own money, we both have Governor-general's, we both have copy of the British political system, even our criminal justice system is a clone of sorts. But Canada prints it's own currency.

Btw your images are well it and look appealing to my eye.

Incorrect, the die was engraved wrong.

Been selling coins for many weeks, so not funny.

You misunderstood me. In fact I just read up on how they are made just now. A die is made and each coin is pressed or stamped using hydraulic machines. "I suppose repressed correct?" I meant: Did the mint recall some of the coins and press them again with the correct die.... But I read just now that they kept them in circulation and created new 20 cent coins with the new die, that's why there are two slightly different 20 cent coins in circulation.


Start of your post you say current bid is $200. Then half way down you summarize it again and tell us the current bid is $200 and you have 3 more to sell. You don't think that's funny?
