This 1982 50c coin which sold on The Purple Penny appears to have a similar flaw which was described as a 'sub-surface planchet flaw that has shown itself as planchet bubbles'.

Nice additions triggersmob but I'm not entirely sure about the Melbourne Centenary coin. Have you checked it's weight? From what I can see, there are two main areas of concern.

The first is on the obverse where the robe doesn't appear to extend all the way to the rim while the second is the lack of detail showing on the reverse where the hand is very faint and the horse's stomach is very flat.

Hi Ham and

I can't see how this could have occurred in the minting process. Being centred and round would just be coincidental as coloured $2 coins didn't appear until 2012.

There does however appear to be a small lamination error on the obverse.

I don't think so ... if it was a double dot the dot would not be off-centre but rather would be positioned directly above the middle of the 'N' in ONE.

In the US, these are called Die Chips.

'Some experts in the coin error-variety hobby insist that for the blob to be called a Cud, the damaged part of the die must include part of the edge of the die.

Looks like a broadstrike error to me, with fishtailing evident on some of the numerals and letters around the top.

Hi Wardog and

to the forum!
That's an interesting find but it's a little hard to see what's going on here without having the coin in hand.
Any chance of some closer views taken from a few different angles?

Hi Nineteen74, I'm guessing that you're looking at whether or not these finds are error coins?

If yes, detailing what you thing the error might be, as well as posting in the 'Variety and Errors' section, should see more responses. http://goccf.com/f/65

Hi Nineteen74
It often helps if you limit your finds to one coin per post and to show both sides of the coin in their entirety so we know the coin's denomination and year, as well as to get a better understanding of what we are viewing.
