The 5 Cent 2004 coin often comes with flaws which were caused by die cracks and/or scratches in the dies. There are a large number of variations of such mint errors with that coin, more than at any other modern coins In this Original Mint Bag you may have the chance to find most or all of these mint errors.

There are few rare decimal currency coins. The most recent example is the 2004 5-cent coin. Although 15,000,000 coins were made, an unknown number of coins (but certainly less than 48,000) were issued for circulation. The first sale of the coin on Trade-Me, on 8 August 2006, generated huge interest and a sale price of $360. Subsequent publicity saw 50-100 coins put up for sale. Prices remained above $100 in mid August 2006. There is no doubt that this coin is scarce in comparison with other modern New Zealand circulating coins. It will be most interesting to see how many coins are eventually found. It will remain a collector’s item, but its “true” value is still to be determined .
