2 euro 2001

Good afternoon, friends. I have found a 2-euro coin. It was probably brought from Finland a long time ago. I don't know how I didn't notice this defect right away, but it's a factory defect, a fake, and someone might have something similar. Could you help me evaluate it? How much could it be worth?

Nothing special. Worth 2 euro.

It’s another „fried egg“ error.  Worth more than €2…

Two in one week. It is a pretty special error. Nice find.

I have to ask, why the rubber gloves?  Probably a million people have handled this coin with their grubby hands.

Why should it be more than 2 euro, this kind of error is somehow common…
But it is, ofcourse, free for everybody to like what he/she likes.

I have never seen one in my change, so it can’t be that common.

 I would say it is worth more than €2 because it is an actual minting error (which produces a rather interesting phenomenon only on bimetallic coins), unlike all the other sh/% so called errors which aren’t really errors associated with the scammers of modern coin change which do the rounds on the internet. A true mint error will (as historically) be collected by collectors, the more the error is visible the more it is likely to hold or increase value, the rarer the error or coin the higher the value - I suspect that in 50 years Finland early Euros will be mid price range, lower than the micro states, higher than the mass producers - especially as we might have moved on by then to coins of €1,€2,€5,€10,€50 & €100 with the €1 & €2 being the ones stretching back to the earliest years in the currency.

Yeah no worries, just do some googling on „fried egg“ or „egg yolk“ error coins - past sales and you will get an idea of its worth. I think it will be worth more in later years though, whether or not it beats inflation is another question all together.
 

Well done for making the effort to hide your fingers also 👍 😂
