I saw a 2001 50c with cud going down the back of the kangaroo. They owner had called it roozilla or something similar. I cant remember if it was here that I saw it. Anyway if anyone has a spare one that they would want to sell then please PM me.
Also ive realised I have hardly any 6d or 1/- errors. They don't need to be pretty. So if you have any spare die cracks or cuds etc in those denominations id be interested in buying/swapping.
Hi Enworb ...... are these what you wanted?
(Have you got any 2001 SA Fed?)

(A fair bit of doubling on these ...... ie: see 50)
This is my best Roozilla. I'll check if I have any spares, might take me a couple days though.

Geez Nancy, that's heaps better than mine (and probably more what Enword was after).
Makes you want to scratch that Roo's back. Great coins.!!
Yeh that's what im after Nancy. its an awesome looking cud. If you need an SA Fed then PM your address Unicorn and i'll send ya one
There are numerous versions of roozillas you realise? You want him speared or intact? :)
I dont realise. Show me the differences please
No idea where they are right now.. its been a while... but, you can check out the pics of a few here:

They vary in both the height and number of spines, spears (cleaning scratches), cracks, and what else is happening on the coin. That lot is a fair mix, but by no means exhaustive.
This is the only image I have for a speared Roo, but Roozilla has no spine frills. I believe the 'spear' is just a Die Polish Line.

This is another Speared Roo, but it's NOT a Roozilla.

Yup. But they ran the gamut from barely noticeable to veritable tree trunks. All on the same angle, but in various positions.
Looks like I need a speared roo as well as a roozilla. Happy to trade or pay if anyone has some spare.
