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

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.

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

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

No. There is no precious metal in any Australian general circulation coin.

The Australian One and Two Dollar coins are made from an aluminium-bronze alloy.

Die numbers were only on Sovereigns and Half-Sovereigns minted by the Royal Mint.

Sovereigns and Half-Sovereigns minted at mints other than the Royal Mint, will have a small mintmark on the reverse of the coin near the date.

The beaver would be a "Duck-billed Platypus" and the coin would be a 20 cent coin.

These coins are still in circulation so, unless they are part of a Proof or

uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or uncirculated coins and in absolute mint

condition, they are worth 20 cents.

Since the first issue of the Australian 10 cent coin in 1966, the lyrebird has appeared on the reverse of the coin.

By the early 1960's, the government had decided that Australia would have a decimal currency and that the designs on the coins and notes would reflect Australia. The Dollar was chosen as the unit of currency and there would be 100 cents in the dollar.

The designer of the coins was Stuart Devlin, and to reflect Australia he chose various indigenous animals.

Australia puts famous or historically significant Australian identities on its banknotes.

The original paper Australian Ten Dollar note issued from 1966 to 1991, had Henry Lawson (1867-1922) on the back.

Henry Lawson was a writer and a poet and is known as Australia's greatest writer.

There is no documentary evidence I can find of a 1938 Australian Crown (Five Shillings) with a "double rim" fault.

The 1938 Australian Crown is a sought after collectible coin and only about 101,000 were minted. Many have been melted down for the silver.

If the coin and/or the fault is genuine, a double rim fault would certainly increase its value.

Your question is a little confused.

Australian banknotes are not dated. They all have the signatures of the Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Secretary to the Treasury. Possibly Coombs and Wilson. These two names will help to pinpoint the date of the banknote.

All Australian banknotes have a serial number. The serial numbers of banknotes from this period will have two alpha characters above two numeric characters (written like a fraction) followed by six numeric characters.

The star at the top is part of the Australian Coat of Arms.

The 1988 Australian Ten Dollar note was the trial for the new polymer banknotes and was issued for Australia's bicentennial. It was a miserable failure and the notes were withdrawn as they tended to fall to pieces after a little use. The obverse features a sailing ship, the reverse features some Aboriginal art.

There were a number of releases of these notes.

You could sell your coins to a coin dealer in your area, or you could try eBay.

If you choose to sell on eBay, you will need to be able to describe your coin very accurately, especially the condition of the coin.

The Royal Australian Mint (RAM) is in Canberra and has the sole responsibility of minting all of Australia's circulating coins.

The Perth Mint is wholly owned by the Western Australian Government and is operated by Gold Corporation. The Perth Mint produces much of Australia's bullion coins, most of the Non-Circulating Legal Tender (NCLT) coins for Australia and many other products including nuggets, medals, medallions, and produces precious metal blanks for other mints.

It is Australia's only major gold refiner and one of the largest in the world. The Perth Mint also carries out similar work for other countries.

What do you refer to as the "the original AUS coin" and why do you think you have a fake?

No you do not, and neither has anybody else. No Australian Sixpence has ever had a crown on it, other than on the head of King Edward VII (1910) and King George V (1911 to 1936).
