Rare $2 Coin Found in Aussie Change Could Be Worth Up to $6,000
A rare minting error on the 2020 Firefighter $2 coin has turned everyday change into a potential treasure, with some coins fetching up to $6,000. Learn how to spot this valuable coin.
Bollywood Fever: Imagine getting your change at a servo and discovering that one of your $2 coins could be worth up to $6,000. This isn’t just a collector’s dream—it’s a reality for a few fortunate Aussies who have stumbled upon a rare and valuable error in their everyday transactions.
An Aussie recently sparked excitement among coin collectors by sharing a picture of his rare find on social media, asking, “Is this a rare find?”
The coin in question is the 2020 Firefighter $2 coin, which was originally minted to honor the brave firefighters who battled Australia’s devastating 2019 bushfires. However, a rare minting error, now known as the “bullseye error,” has made some of these coins highly sought after.
This error occurs when the flame design, intended to be positioned between two firefighters, is mistakenly minted over the Queen’s face instead. What makes these coins especially rare is the mystery surrounding how many were produced and are now circulating.
Coin experts suggest that while circulated versions might not reach the top price of $6,000, they could still be worth several thousand dollars, depending on their condition.
“If this guy has got it from the servo, it sounds like it’s probably been in a till, it may have been knocked around a bit and all those things contribute to a value,” coin expert Matthew Thompson told Yahoo Finance.
The coin’s value is highly dependent on its condition and authenticity. Unfortunately, there have been reports of counterfeit versions, where individuals manually alter the flame design to mimic the error. To avoid disappointment, it’s advised to have any potential finds verified by a professional.
So, next time you get change at a servo, take a closer look at your $2 coins—you might just be holding onto a small fortune.
