Question about a defective 2 euro coin.

Post by Nikn »

Hello to All!

Some time ago my friend have got UNC 2 euro CC from bank.
Now he decided to exchange coins to banknotes.
Bank coins machine didn't take this coin.
In the cash desk checked this coin with magnet and no result. This coin don't react to the magnet.
They told that need to make an expertise.
After expertise he received an answer that coin is not a fake.
Now my friend want to know :
- Does this defect is rare?
- Does this coin have some extra value with perspective to sell to some collectors?

Thank you for your attention!
Best regards

Hello Dmitrys,
is there a picture of this coin?

What came out after the analysis why the €2 coin is not magnetic? Accidentally used a different material, such as Nordic Gold, which is intended for 10, 20 and 50 cent coins?

Best regards
Sahak

Hello Sahak,

I can ask my friend to make coin picture. If I remember correct it was LV 2017 Kurzeme
I have a video with bad quality where can see that no reaction at magnet but looks like I can append it to this topic
After 3 day expertise bank gave back this coin to my friend and told that coin is no fake it is normal.
I can ask him what exactly is written in the answer if you want.
For me more interesting to know does it some rare defect or nothing special.

Best regrds
Dmitrijs
