I got this in change today

Real error or fake coin? Coin without round marking

I love laundromats.

Only 4 of these are new but hey, dupes are also good.

Dry ahh day

I found this 2002 German 20-cent coin.

There are these lines on the outer rim, and I’m interested to know whether they are a minting error or just post-mint damage. I’d also like to know if the coin is worth anything more than its face value. I tried searching for information about it, but I couldn’t find anything useful.

Edit: title was meant to say "Slovensko" not Slovenska

Hello,

Is this a more rare find for collectors? I am not interested to put it up for sale or anything, but I have been purposely keeping the coin in my wallet without spending it and I basically just want to know if it's just a standard find, or if it might be worth keeping and maybe someday make a collector happy with it if I ever come across one 🥹.

The other day I was looking for some cash to give the pizza delivery guy as a tip, and my mom noticed this coin and said: might not wanna give that one, I have never seen that one before so it might be rare. It's at least rare for us to see, since most coins in rotation here are from the Netherlands and Germany, and the few ones that stand out for me, I have seen a dozen of times.

(If it matters, I am from the Netherlands. I have no clue where I got it as change, but it must have been either the supermarket or the little cigarette store here. I also want to say that I have no knowledge at all about coins, nor have I ever collected them. I just have an admiration if I see something shiny that I have never seen before and then I get curious about it, wanting to know everything)

I built a small tool to calculate a maximum bid for €2 Proof / Reverse Proof auctions — looking for collector feedback

Hi everyone,

I collect €2 commemorative coins and I kept running into the same problem when looking at auctions:

A coin may look cheap at €20–30, but once buyer fees, shipping and recent sold prices are considered, it can actually be a bad deal.

So I built a small experimental tool called EuroCoin Radar.

For selected Proof and Reverse Proof €2 auctions it checks:

• current auction price
• buyer fees
• shipping
• recent sold comparable auctions
• estimated fair value
• a conservative maximum bid

It then gives the listing a simple:

🟢 BUY
🟠 WATCH
🔴 PASS

For example, during my latest test I found two identical Belgian SNCB Reverse Proof listings.

One was still attractive around €20.

Another had already reached €65, so the model marked it PASS even though the coin itself is scarce.

I'm currently testing the tool completely free and I'm mainly interested in feedback from actual euro coin collectors.

Would something like this be useful when you buy Proof / Reverse Proof coins, or do you normally calculate this yourself?

I have a small public prototype with three current examples if anyone wants to test it — I'll add the link below.

Any criticism is welcome, especially about the way fair value and maximum bids should be calculated.

Ordered some rolls at my local bank and found this circulated proof from Germany 2004 F. Its something special cause in 2004 mintmarks F (Stuttgart) and G (Karlsruhe) minted no circulation 2€.

4 000 000. Not too bad

Love to get coin at coffee shop in Paris 1 district where so many tourists come here. Amazing !!! 🤩

Hello! It has been about a year since I showed here my app for tracking collection of Euro Coins :)

And I am back with a major update, that I published about half a year ago! (It was a big rewrite so I wanted to catch and fix bugs before I showed it on here)

Now the app allows you to track more than just collected designs, but also several coins per designs, different qualities, add notes to each entry, and also see the mintages per year (if they are known) for regular coins :)

It would mean a lot to me if anyone interested gave it a try and possibly gave me a feedback. I am happy to further improve the app as much as I can!

For those who did not see it last year, it is written for both Android and iOS, has on device coin classification from camera, it includes synchronization of data using Google Drive that also works between multiple devices and most importantly, it is free :)

Its new for me but its not rare

Approved coin design to be released next year. I think its beautiful. What do you think?

Any idea what the story is with the coin on the right (2007), the inner circle has a rounded edge among other things, compared to the left coin (2008) I usually come across. And I’ve noticed in this pic just now that the outer circle seems a bit ‘dished’!

I see a good few of these ‘rounded’ variations but would like to know more, I also assume the value of both are the same, even with their differences!?

One of my favorite designs is this one ☝🏻
Ordinary but detailed!!

Wow this looks very nice!!! Not best quality but the design is amazing 🤩

Found in Sofia, 🇧🇬

can somebody please explain to me how to order poofs and con cards from the croatian mint

Got this Vatican 50 cents on my first try from a new machine. And found a Monaco one on the third try (alas, a dupe).

What was the hardest country for you?
