Tag Sale Find

Bought this for a quarter yesterday at a local tag sale. I have no idea if the fitting is gold or not but going to have it tested. 1971 2 cent British. Looks like it had been gold plated at one time but is wearing off. Yes Paddy, it's already in a flip...LOL.

Looks like you have a copy. Compare it to this original -

 

Wow.. Mintage for 1971 was over 1 Billion -

 

Here is a very interesting fact -

copy

 

Copy of an already common coin

 

With the high mintage it's a wonder why anyone would bother making a copy. What a waste of time. Diff. strokes for diff. folks.

 

for a charm bracelet

 

Doesn't look anything like the Queen, Looks more like a copy.

 

Looks like a Barbara Streisand nose or a Zombuck wannabe.

 

Tag....... 2c
Flip....... 10c
'Coin'..... 0c

Value... 12c

 

It's a copy... Why would someone copy such a common coin... You can still find them by the bucket load for exactly 2p.

 

I got robbed!!!! LOL.

 

I'd keep it and get a real 71 2p, and keep them together.
