Are they all on different coins, or do some of the errors occur together?

Nancy,

The photographed cuds were on 6 coins:

- Photos 4 and 5 (on bottom lip & above eyebrow) were from the same coin.

- Photos 2 and 7 (foot cuds etc and side of shield/kangaroo arm cuds) were from the same coin.

(Sorry, should have numbered the photos when I posted them.)  

As well:

- Photo 1 - this coin also had the small cud over the eyebrow.

- Photo 3 - this coin also had the cud above the eyebrow (like 5).

- Not photographed but the remaining 2013 50c with cuds from my noodle the other day also had the cud over the eyebrow and the cud below the lip (ie like photos 3 and 5).

Hope this makes sense.

clear as mud mate :D

I'm getting so many errors I need another big clean as I just keep adding and should have 2014 soon to add more, even second coin I look at has something wrong with it :(

Yep, AJ - 7 out of 8 2013 50c from my noodle last week had cuds. The RAM must be pushing those dies!

QC is none existent these days and that goes for just about everything, so many die clashes as well and I'm only complaining because I'm running out of room..errors should be rare but they are just so common these days :(

Well it sounds as though both of you are at least getting  coins that haven't been noodled before.  I'll have to get motivated to start noodling again, so I can get myself some 'new' error coins from later years.

Found a 2013 50c with a cud on the bridge of the Queen's nose - in addition to cuds in the more usual places on the lower forehead and under the bottom lip.

On closer inspection of the reverse of the abovementioned 2013 50c coin there are also blobs on the haunch of the kangaroo as well as sizeable blobs on it's shoulder and in the crook of the elbow (can't get good shots of them). Additionally some doubling at the base of the shield and the cud at the top of the "5".

Looks to be lots of other small blobs elsewhere on the coin too.
