Hello,
Does anyone happen to know anything about euro coins?
I recently received a gold €2 coin and suspect it might be a mis-minting, but I'm not sure! The wheel on the coin looks different than the other €2 coins, as does the image on the back.
I would be very happy if someone could help me.

Loading...Hello, I have a 2. Euro coin Charlemagne DJ 2023. I wanted to ask if it is worth more than 2. €. I found it unusual, maybe someone knows more about it than I do. Many thanks in advance Bernd
I found this sugar bowl while clearing out my house. It's hallmarked, but I can't find anything about it online. Can anyone tell me more? Is it any good, or can it be thrown away? 😉
I bought a 5 Reichsmark coin from 1939 at a flea market and now wanted to check the authenticity of this coin. Where can I do this? At a jeweler?
Hey, I'd like to start collecting. I'd prefer Wehrmacht/SS/WSS/SA uniforms and peaked caps, but some of those are unaffordable, so I'd rather go for NVA. What should I look for? Do you have any tips for a beginner?
Why is it possible that a 5 is stamped on a 2 euro coin? I don't know anything about it and I'm definitely interested
A 2-euro coin from Portugal. Each EU country has its own national reverse, which can vary depending on the series. These are usually commemorative coins.
It is not possible to tell immediately whether it is a misprint; for that you would have to take a closer look at the coin.
Ok und wo kann ich die Münze prüfen lassen?
It could also be a fake, though, since the obverse doesn't look the same as when it came out of the mint. The 2-euro coin normally has a silvery outer circle made of copper-nickel and a golden three-layered center made of nickel-brass, nickel, and more nickel-brass. It's hard to tell exactly what's going on here. You could go to a local coin dealer. Just google who buys and sells coins in your area. But you should check with more than one expert. As I said, I'm now inclined to consider this coin a fake.
A good way to do this would be to use the weight of the coin as a guide.
Gold has a much higher density than nickel or even copper-nickel… In fact, almost 2.2 times.
A €2 coin should weigh approximately 8.50 grams. One could also use Archimedes' principle to determine whether it is, for example, precious or base metal.
However, it is not a misprint, but at most a subsequently 24-carat gold-plated €2 coin, which can be purchased at inflated prices from various coin dealers such as here and many others.
I just found a site that offers coin valuations via WhatsApp. Since I'm unfamiliar with this company, you should research them first. However, the request is supposed to be simple and free, so I don't see any potential risks at this point. I would still appreciate a like, for my efforts. https://www.muenzhandel-unshelm.de/schaetzung-per-whatsapp/
However, this is only supposed to be for gold and silver coins. Oh well, maybe it'll work anyway.
OK thanks
There are many of these subsequently gold-plated €2 coins.
Value = 0€ …Because subsequent gilding/galvanizing/coloring of the coin results in devaluation!
The edge of a €2 coin is usually always ridged. Sometimes more, sometimes less (minting tolerances).
Absolutely no reason for euphoria!
😉
For once, this could actually be a misprint.
The outer ring has the edge marking and color of a 1,- € coin, for minting the 2,- € coin.
The edge embossing could also be from a 50 cent coin, since the ribbing on the Euro is not continuous.
There is ribbed, then smooth, then ribbed again, etc.
Although the ribbing is as fine as on the Euro coin, it still makes me wonder.
Therefore, there could also be an additional stamping error inside, as the fluting is CONTINUOUSLY FINE.
So the 1,- € imprint on the edge is more likely to be a misprint.
I've had the picture on the back dozens of times, as the motif has been embossed millions of times.
Yes, thanks for the answer 🙂
Habe Sie noch etwas Erweitert.
Der Rand sieht für portugiesische 2-Euro-Münzen normal aus: feine Riffelung mit sieben Kastellen und fünf Wappenschilden.
