A German 2 euro coin caused a sensation on eBay.
Finally, it should have a "double" misprint.
Find out what this is all about here.
2 euro coins, which are advertised on eBay as a rare "faulty coinage", often turn out to be perfectly normal pieces of money that are simply showing their age in circulation.
As a result, wear or small chips are often common - and also unavoidable.
2 euro coin from Lower Saxony: is the "double" misprint actually worth 80,000 euros?
But that doesn't seem to bother many "collectors" on the online marketplace - as seen in 2019 with a seller from Rhineland-Palatinate.
He is certain:
his German 2 euro coin is a particularly rare specimen
.
After all, it is said to be an
"original coinage" of St. Michael in Hildesheim
, also known as Michaeliskirche.

The coin allegedly dates
back to 2014
and was, according to the seller, a
"double" misprint
.
This should consist in the fact that two small notches can be seen on the motif side of the coin.
But to speak here of a double mistake is probably a long way off.
After all, small signs of wear and tear on coins that have been in circulation for a long time are commonplace.
But the seller doesn't seem to be aware of this - he wanted a
whopping 80,000 euros
for the beautiful piece
.
Was it really worth so much to another collector?
However, if you assume that you have a rare bad coin in your wallet, experts advise not to sell it on eBay & Co.
