Euro error or fake? [solved]

8 posts
Hello guys.
A very interesting find, in change I received some weeks ago.



Whatever it was, something terrible happened to this coin.. Do you think this is a fake?
My question is whether it is possible for this to be a mint error for this type of coin. How common are euro coin errors? I have not come across such major ugliness before:8D!
Most errors I have encountered are minor and appear as small metal blobs appearing where they should not be on the coins. But this is too much.

Thanks!
Hello!
according to me is processing third party.
not mint error
It looks like someone inside the center of the coin and rotate it.

Just a fake
I have something similar to this, but with a UK £2 coin.

The centre has been punched out, hence the hole/dent on the reverse, and then put back in the wrong way round.

I'm not an expert in any kind of coins, but I reckon I'm good at research and will do my best to help. Feel free to tell me my identifications/valuations/gradings are wrong. It's the only way I'll learn.
Correct BizzoDoes, nothing special, everbody can do this.

Nothing special then.:snif:
Therefore I will compensate by posting a picture of another euro error coin I have come across.

Thank you for your replies!
