    I've had this coin kicking around for over 5 years.
    It's from an Austrian Euro pre-release packet.
    It's a double planchet clip (Blakesley Effect and all.)

    I believe, except for the US and Canada, most countries don't pay a lot of attention to error coins unless they are spectacular.

    Are errors on Euro coins common?

    Would this coin have a premium?

    That I believe is quite unusual and therefore would have a prenium to it. I don't remember seeing a lot of error bi-metals so the value can be quite interesting.

    Don't really care about error coins, but there are quite a few web sites that feature such pieces. So I assume there is some interest ...

    (a) focusing on euro coins:

    (b) others, mostly German RM/DM coins:

    Beware of home made Euro errorcoins (especially those offered on the ebola website)
