Title: 1984 $1 MOR - Packer Roo
Post by: Unicorn on May 06, 2014, 12:04:37 PM
Looks like number 2 roo has been in a blue with big roo.

Number 2 has a elongated cud across his back and another on the side of his chest. Big roo looks to have won the fight with a cut to the chest and left arm.

Perhaps I could have named this one Barangaroo Blue!!!

Have you got a 'stash' of 84 Roo errors?  They're coming out thick 'n' fast.  I love 'em, all! :yahoo:

Is a "Packer Roo" a kangaroo that gets into fights with its mates?

Gee another good one uni so what about the one on roo 1's arm and is it another next to it on his belly or is it PMD?

Yeah, that'd be him Feathers ...... I noticed even on the coin there's a few bodyguards ushering off number 2 roo.

AJ, I saw that on the arm too and thought it was something but I compared it to another around the same condition and I think it might be normal. I might have to double check though my eyesight is not getting any better. I'll have to check the belly one as I didn't pick it up before.
