looking through some of my goldy finds the other day I noticed one was different its a mule horay too scared to try and clean it as may devalue it.
Cheers rod
 
Awesome find! That's about as rare as the 1930 penny! I'd be putting that one away for a rainy day! Congratulations! :)
 
Forgive me, but why is it a good find ?

Looks like a edge fault to me around the rim, does that make it valuable ?

What sort of value ?
"That's about as rare as the 1930 penny!"

What is a "mule" coin, how is it defined please ?

I am not very knowledgeable about coins, and pass onto Kato anything I find out, appreciate any advice.

The year 2000 $1 mule is a mint error, it was struck with the 10c obverse by mistake resulting in a thicker rim around the obverse side of the coin

:Y:
 
LOTS of fakes getting around on Ebay err ScamBay and other market places as well.

Lots of coins can have a partial double rim due to alignment and same for the 2000 $1 coin.

But a good mule will have a full double rim or at least 60% . The full double rim in good condition can fetch a good price BUT buyer beware :)
 
Just curious,

Not a coin man but I would like opinions on these I found in change, please.

Do they mean anything in particular or hold any value, all well circulated of course.

Stamped edge thin on one side of edge, other side normal

2019 but seems that the blank was set to one side, thin edge front and back

Some collect the coloured coins. Comes back to the numbers minted.

As to the thin / thick edge etc very common on lots if the $2 and $1 coins.

There are a few well know mint errors but lots if people confuse PMD (post mint damage) with mint errors.

Some people collecting coins have never seen or have any clue of the damage: that coins end up with.

A bit of a giggle when you see a coin that has been in saltwater and badly corroded OR a lawn mower OR road kill coin Or a coin that has been stamped with a number/letter. And they want a value as they think they have a retirement package at hand.

Like many things today all about getting Rick. And then so many get caught on Scambay with the $1 mule or the wavey 20c.

See the attached for the A U S $1 coins...

The $1 mule coin is only some of the year 2000 coins that accidentally had the 10 cent obverse stamped on them, creating a double edge, not so much a different thickness.

Cheers,
