Title: $1 Rabbits, A whole Warren of them.
Post by: Nevol on May 04, 2014, 09:13:34 AM
I hope I'm not boring you all with these images. :whistle2:

Here are all my Rabbits, well all I could locate anyhow.  I think there may be some very shy ones that don't want their piccies taken,
but I reckon I'll eventually smoke 'em out.

I really do like those 2010 ones. None of the "flea on the ear" nonsense with them.

What you need is one of these to send down the burrow. That will soon get rid of those pesky rabbits!

An excellent series Nevol!

Thanks for posting them Nevol.
I think I have found at least 1 of each year (although I think I gave the only 1984 to another forum member).

My mind must have been in La-La land while I was doing the Rabbits. :dontknow:
 
My original list was:
1984 x 5
1985 x 1
1994 x 6
1998 x 3
2000 x 3
2006 x 3
2008 x 5
2009 x 2
2010 x 14
Total 42

After putting them all away and noticing that I seemed to have many more of some years, I did a recount:
1984 x 12
1985 x 1
1994 x 14
1998 x 16
2000 x 7
2006 x 3
2008 x 14
2009 x 2
2010 x 14
New Total 83, and I still think there are some missing, particularly 2009.  :scratch_one-s_head:

I have over the years recorded 420 up to 2008 for Rabbits etc but I have not recorded finds for later years Nevol but I have sold or given many away and only keep at least one of each year that I find.

Still, a nice lot of rabbits, Spew Roos and Spew/Rabbit Ears.

Keep up the good work.

I'm not surprised at your numbers Goldy considering how many $1 coins that have passed through your hands. :biggrin:

Thanks Nevol but I have slowed up over time.   If I find any I still put them away just in case someone wants them.

I do have a several buyers who want them but I sell them very cheaply.

Ozcoins, If you need a 1984 I'm happy to send you one.  :grin:

They're breeding while you're not looking Nancy!

Great pics.

My breakdown of rabbits up to the time I stopped keeping rabbit records are:
1984 - 27
1985 - 1
1994 - 152
1998 - 130
2000 - 28
2006 - 15
2008 - 47

I haven't keep records of finds of any rabbits/spew roos and combos finds since 01 Jan 2009 so the above figures are well out of date.

Nevol,
Thanks for the offer, but I am sure another will turn up in my searching (and since there are quite a few nice 1984 coins floating around, I am hoping for one in good condition).
Goldseeker,
Those stats really show how rare the 1985 rabbit ears are!

The 1985 Rabbit is not the only RARE one.  

I have only heard of only ONE 2013 Rabbit that was sold on EBay a few months ago.

Not found one myself.

I would imagine that a large percentage of 2013 mor coins have not yet been released into circulation.

I am averaging around 30-40 of these 2013 coins per 500 as I noodle.   I still need one to fulfil my complete rabbit collection.
