Renniks shows three different varieties as follows- One Kangaroo paw-V. Scarce / Three Kangaroo Paws-V. Scarce / Four Kangaroo Paws-???. does anyone have photos for a visual check please.!!!
Don't fret the queen should be along directly :dontknow: what's going on as she'd normally be over this like a rash :)
Comon Nancy, where are you?
my guesses
one paw definate

normal 'two paws'

3 ??? not entirely sure - I'll see if I have a better example here - somewhere

Sweet die crack on that last one RG :dance2:
ta - funny, I had that coin for the 3 denticles between the date and the roo's hind leg
didn't really notice the die crack as much - funny what you focus on and yep - it is pretty cool!
reckon there's 3 paws there?
I dunno really - I just put it beside the one paw to compare as a 'two paw', and thought, well look at that - the coin looks to have 3 paws!
Thankyou Robbiegal, perfect pics for my needs. I have a few with what I believe are 3 paws (seems like heavy strikes and that die crack are a common denominator.) You're a Gem.!!!
cheers
I think we need a better 3 paw example
perhaps you'll find one tonight?
and ps
that 3 paw with the die crack - I have another one with exactly the same, die crack & denticles and that funny lump under the 1 in the 1964
so the errors are definitely all in the die
I don't have one of these with the 'extra' paws, sorry. :angel:
hi Nevol
I didn't think that I had one until I took the photo!

Quick image of 3 Paw Roo with die crack and metal fracture.
Just going a bit :off_topic:
I was having a squiz at my penny buckets and found this 1962 coin slightly rotated.
Every time I look in these I find something :dance:
It isn't spectacular but it is different :ok:

Old buckets of Pennies are the gift that keeps of giving.!! :yahoo:

keep looking Trout as the '62 is your very likely year to be rotated
as is the '63
Robster,
The "Four Paw" '64 penny will usually be found with
a tiny die crack running Rim to Rim starting below
the P in penny and ending just below the first N.
I doubt very much the "Scarce" title, perhaps Not Common.:dodgy:

Well both you and Robster better keep an eye out for :-
Single Paw Roo, with "Star" die crack and the unfortunate
placed die clash "Male Roo". :angel:

Good one robster, same die pair struck that one:yahoo:
Probably an earlier strike, the second paw "Ghosting"
is more visible.
robbiegirl will have to come up with one now, pressures on.:angel:
you boys are norti *giggle*
Even my wife giggled at that one.......this topic should be rated........
ha ha Goldie!!
well, the gauntlet was thrown down so I'd better come to the party!!
and and, I will say that I have only ever noticed the die crack!!
I always wondered what this male roo'' bizzo was!!

Took you whole hour, now we have Quads. :yahoo:
It's all Bob Allan's fault, he used the Descriptor when he was
moving all his pennies on Oztion a few years ago.
Very apt, no need for further info.:angel:

I think the roo on the coins is female RG :ok:
If it was a male roo then it would be quite evident just under the base of the tail :diablo::laugh2:
true
I think I have some like that too
*giggle*
