Hey,
A mate of mine has one of these, its not fully formed but it is gold (coloured ), he seams to think it is the only one in existance.
Has anyone seen or heard of one of these, if so any idea of value??

You know the rules - Pics...

In general anything that has happened that shouldn't have happened and now someone has got it, means that someone is going to want it. Normally more than one and this creates the value. A 50c and $2 that is a big difference so yeah I would say only one probably got through. GOOD Pics will tell what it could be worth.

Ok im onto it (pics), might take a couple of days though but I will get some on here asap, it is quite unique and unlike anything I have seen.

Nice! try the Australian Coin and Banknote Forum, more numis types there, or take it along to an ANDA show, free valuations, or take it to Downies or another auctioneer, or alternately stick it up on eBay to find the value.

Does he want to sell it or just get it valued for insurance?

He doesn't want to sell it, he is just looking for a value ATM. Of course im sure if he was offered enough money for it he would let it go. He has spoken to RAM and they wanted $400 to just look at it and confirm it is a genuine error but he is scared he will never see it again lol.
He has even thought about sending in photo's to CAB magazine and see what they say about it or maybe even do an article on it to get some advertising and let people know that it exsists. It may even draw out more copies from people who have one, or confirm it is the only one.

Is it the size of a $2 coin or a 50 cent piece?

As you can see, a 50 cent die has been used but because there is not enough metal in a $2 planchet, it has not filled all the die so the whole coin has not formed properly.
It is bigger than a $2 coin but not as big as a 50 cent.

That's a British 50p planchet with seven sides.

It has been put on the scales and it weights the same as a $2 coin and it also explains the gold colour, are the british 50p gold in colour?
