[QUOTE="markn, post: 245278, member: 8802"]There's a good market for Australian errors, especially decimal errors. Quality control at our mint in the pre-decimal period was not so great, with things like partial collars, broadstrikes, and clips fairly easy to find. Double struck pre-decimals still fetch some decent money, with an unc double struck 3d selling just recently for $400. Decimal errors go for a lot more than their pre-dec counterparts. There's a full 5c brockage for sale at the moment for a whisker under $2000, a double reverse 5c sold a couple months back for $2500. Simple things like hammer strike 1c and 2c coins in UNC can get $100-$200. A large off-center strike of a $1 coin in UNC will fetch $400+. Similar US 1c coins get less than a tenth of that. That being said, I like errors of any type, here's my first brockage I got about a month back: [img]http://www.coincommunity.org/gallery/albums/userpics/10098/netherlands-1956-1c-brockage.jpg[/img][/QUOTE]
