What is the value of a misstruck 1989 Australian Two Dollar coin?

Answer 1

Genuinely flawed coins are not necessarily known about or documented until somebody turns up with one, since they are an "accident" of the minting process, and have escaped detection during quality control at the mint therefore, a valuation cannot be anticipated.

An Australian 2005 1 Dollar coin can be one of two different commemorative coins.

Option 1

A "90th Anniversary Gallipoli" Commemorative which was issued as a noncirculating coin in a folder or a mint set and as a general circulation coin. Mistruck or not, it is worth at least twice its original purchase value. The reverse design features a soldier blowing a bugle.

There is every possibility that there were mistruck coins as the Royal Australian Mint (RAM) had "Mint Your Own" presses at various sites of national significance around the country. There are two coins known to have no mint mark.

Option 2

A "60th Anniversary of Peace, WW2" Commemorative which, uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to $3 AUD. The reverse design features a man celebrating the end of the war.

There were 31.788 million minted.

Option 3

The 2006 One Dollar coin (mob of kangaroos) contained in some Proof sets contained a coin dated 2005.

A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.

Answer 2

An Australian 2000 One Dollar mule, was a regular non-commemorative (five kangaroos) One Dollar coin struck on the slightly smaller 10 cent planchet.

An Australian 2000 One Dollar mule, uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to $6,000 AUD. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from $350 to $3,750 AUD.

There were about 400 minted.

A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.

Answer 3

Any coin with a "genuine" minting flaw would have some value, above the usual, as a collectible coin.

A reputable coin dealer should be able to identify and confirm the coin as genuine and make a valuation.

Answer 4

Flaws and errors on coins should not be confused with mutilation or mangling of the coin.
