Two Euros are probably the easiest to recognize and also the most appreciated monetary denomination, even in the realm of collection. These issues are actually made with a bimetallic alloy giving a two-tone appearance, but the reason for the popularity of these issues is also related to factors such as minting errors but also more specifically the different types of commemorative coins.
Find 2 Euros with a Mint Error and You’ll Be Rich: ‘Crazy’
A minting error is exactly what it sounds like, that is, one or more coins which, due to a defect during development by the mint, have resulted in a variable quantity of specimens being conceived with a different appearance.
A coinage error can have important dimensions, affecting both the appearance and the ease of use of the problem, but various small details can also be considered as such. In the latter case, the mint usually does not notice them or does not consider these splits to be detrimental to the use of the coin, and is often an unspecified number which perhaps provides more or less detail than the underlying model.
Some mints are actually sold on various auction sites such as Ebay, especially the standard Italian 2 euro coins, with the face of Dante Alighieri, with some missing details such as the date or Rome mint symbol or markings that they are not usually found.
The mint market is a special thing, with no standards and not always coins, even if certain ones are in fact of great value, but some practically unique pieces, if they have details developed by the mint (and not later conceived of) can It also leads to profits of hundreds of euros.
For example, about €2 sold for between €100 and €150 showing the missing year plus a double R next to Dante’s face.
