2007 Colombia 50 Pesos, Off-Center Error

Have a Colombian coin and want to know its value? Leave a comment

So I finally get a foreign coin in my change after months of nothing and it is also an error. Granted from my research a large portion of the 2007 Colombian 50 Pesos coins are off-centered. Most of them even look the same so it probably was an error that continued for a while.



Note the edge. According to all the descriptions the edge should be reeded but this one is smooth. Granted it also is a railroad rim which means it has a ledge to the edge, hehe that rhymes. Since this was off centered when pressed the edge can have a number of unusual appearances. 

On eBay a quick search shows most of these are going for around $6.00 but there are so many I doubt this is a realistic vale. Common errors can go for $2.00 or less and foreign errors generally are not  prized among collectors. None of the design was cut off so it is not the ideal off center error but the rim is affected so that adds a little value. 

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 50 Pesos / Colombia
Edge: Not Reeded, Railroad Rim error
Year: 2007
Mintage: 29,300,000
Metal: Copper-Zinc-Nickel
Value: $3.00 in Extra-Fine, $0.03 in exchange value

1934 A 20 dollar bill with the serial number L77927541A its in F condition and says HAWAII
--The HAWAII was added to the notes on July 1942 in fear that Japan would invade Hawaii during WWII. In Hawaii only these notes were allowed until October 1944.
It's about $25.00
The notes without HAWAII are worth $50 in fine.

ten dollar bill 1929 and it says Philadelphia on it its in VF condition and serial number is C011093984A
--About $45.00

Japanese Invasion Money for the Philippines about $0.50 if uncirculated, very common in low grades.

Why such a drastic difference in the drachma and lepta.

Why such a drastic difference in the drachma and lepta.

Most were made in low quality and sharpness.

Very few that get graded reach a level of uncircualted or Mint State 60.

Even shiny new examples are not struck well and have typical grades of extra-fine 40 or less.
