I do understand the question. If you're a 'not really' collector, and you have some coins, you can spend hours searching to figure out which coins they might be. Usually (always?) of course in the hope of owning a treasure.
Hours and hours of time, only to determine that those 100 coins together have a potential value of 1 euro. If you are lucky.
Do you end up higher? Then you can assume that the chance of mistakes is high.

As a collector you build up knowledge of the subject. That takes years.

In the digital age, 'humans' have been so pampered that they think that there is a digital solution for everything (device, app, etc.) to solve the lack of knowledge and skills. Digitality as a surrogate for commitment. Everything so that you don't have to make any effort.
Not so.
You either have a natural talent for intelligence (or you don't).
However, talent alone won't do you any good. That facility must be exploited.

The question itself is commendable and proves that the person behind this question has already entered phase 1 of the learning process: being aware of incompetence.
That phase is a necessary evil in any learning process.

Now it can start... or it can stop there.

Daveboers So you want to know if there is something that can make you (semi) rich while sleeping? Did you see on the homepage that it says "For and By collectors" (ex collectors are also possible). Are you or were you a collector of something or did you just create this account to ask this question? I think it would be appreciated here if you fill out your profile a little further and possibly post your collection... then others will be more likely to answer your question.

I am not really a coin collector by nature, but I have been wondering about this for some time: are there also devices that can scan coins for special deviations, and which are therefore valuable or worth collecting? Something like a money counting machine that the bank has, but instead of checking them for authenticity, it checks them for uniqueness? And is it worthwhile for an entrepreneur, let's say a retailer who receives a lot of cash every day, to have all this checked for any profitable deviations?

Thank you in advance for any answer! It's been bugging me for a while.

HI Wilco,

It indeed looks like a 2 euro coin, which you could consider a mistake.
The original is indeed in the catalogue: #185925

The manual says this about errors, among other things:
1.4.1 Variants caused by production errors Errors in the production process can result in physically deviating objects (such as misprints on books or misprints on coins).

So-called singletons, individual variants resulting from production errors that have slipped through quality control, are considered damaged copies of the 'normal' object and are not included as variants in the catalogue.
If you would like to include such a copy in your collection or shop, you can do so by assuming the standard item and mentioning the defect in the details of your own copy (see also article 2).

However, if (part of a) edition of an object with all the same production errors unintentionally comes into circulation, it will be considered a genuine variant and included as such in the catalogue.

In your case you can place this with your own images and report it in your personal details.

You're exaggerating ;-)

I'd love to tell you how to get rid of that junk, but I haven't discovered a method yet.

There may have been a pin soldered on it at some point.

I don't know how much a half guilder from the Dutch East Indies or Curaçao was worth, but that often happened with coins of low value. The image side (portrait Wilhelmina) was worn as decoration, so the soldering lead is on the coin side.

Good evening everyone,

I recently came across 2 coins in an old coin box with a kind of "blob" of metal on them. I'm wondering if this is a mistake or if it could have happened somewhere later.
I personally can't find many coins with the same type of thing as this.

Gr wes

Good evening,

This evening I got this coin back. It seems to me to be a pretty clear mistake. Is that correct?
And I couldn't find it in the catalog. Is this correct?

Regards,

again Yes you see a T but it is smooth and flush with the coin...so what you see is a color difference!

the other letters are clearly on top

I tried to take a sharper photo but this is the best I can do with my phone... and unfortunately I'm not a photographer

Maybe post a sharper photo.
Because the photo 2nd from the right is not very clear.
But there is a T on the coin, although not like the other letters. (fat and lean)
Otherwise this means that I read something that is not there.
And then I'm a tough guy...

If you look closely at the photos you will see that 1 letter is missing... and I am not a specialist either, but I do know that when a coin is minted... this is not normal and should not be possible

I am not a coin expert. But I don't think I lost anything.
You can still see that it says T (or stood if you like).

Dear Coin Collectors,

I found the following coin in a coin album from my grandparents' estate
(after some research)
1 Stotinka (2nd Coat of Arms; standard legend) - Bulgaria – Numista

Now mine has an error and a letter seems to have been lost... all the letters are there but 1 is missing
(see photos)

It is a beautiful coin, any idea what it could be worth or where I can have the coin appraised?

I'm curious about the reactions!

Hello everyone, I don't know much about coins and I was wondering if you could help me? Does anyone happen to know what kind of coin this is? where it comes today and whether it would really be worth 5 euros or something?

Greetings and thanks in advance!

wanted to improve it but it's not even in LD.
If you want to know something more, it is easy to first post it on LD

Hello, the diameter is 45 mm, I cannot measure the weight at the moment, but it feels heavy. What I was able to figure out from my own research is the 2 Thaler

Hello,

I'm helping my best friend catalog an inheritance she received. One of its coins is a (as far as I know) Augsburg 2 Thaler coin from 1625. Would anyone here know/could tell you more about that? Thank you very much in advance!

Oh yes you are right!
And the sellers without perfect scans from all sides are no good.
But your shop is empty!
