It could be my imagination and eyesight (ie prepared to be told otherwise!!) but the gap on yours Kel looks to be larger than mine - 2 possible gap varieties?

I think you are right Pedro.  I tried to get the images the same size and orientation, this is the best I cold do. The gap on Kel's coin looks quite a bit bigger. :

if they are anything like the 08 then yes they do have different sized gaps as GS and I only collect the ones with the HUGE gap as the others are to small to worry about :good:

The small gaps are from light strikes, aren't they? At least the ones I've seen were missing other detail that made me think that...

OK, so AJ and Fulvio have cornered the market (AGAIN!) with 2012 wave gaps.

How many 6 inch high piles do you pair have of these? :D

Nope, not this time. I've only got a handful of small gaps, and maybe one large. I've been really really slack about noodling lately. :(

Now now no need to be like that Pedro :winkextra: But like I said I only keep the really big gaps now and haven't found any really big one's on any 2012 or 13 but will let you know if I do, I'll post some pic's later of the 08 gaps I have kept :good:

I haven't keeping any yet Pedro as I thought they were too small as I have way to many coins already that I'm trying to thin out so I'm only keeping really big cuds and gaps and things that I haven't seen posted..I'll save them for you if I find any :good:

I don't suppose you remember how many you went through to find the large gap?
