Hi, Im sorry did I break a rule? I was advised to join up here by a certain Anda member because this is a free community forum, Im not trying to steal anyone away, just after some feedback on my website with real collectors opinions, I created the oldcoinchest.com site for collectors and thought this collector forum would be a good place to get that feedback, im not here to cause trouble, im posting to get help to make the coin community a better place, I posted a coin chit chat thread in the relevant place in the relevant website to share amongst collectors and you block my post without me breaking any rules or being rude, I understand im new but I am trying to contribute, No where did I read that you must contribute before posting, if I cant post here of all places I guess the coin community doesn't want me to contribute, Again I don't mean to be rude but feel let down by advising people of a coin website that may make their experiences with collecting better,
Kind Regards
Hey there OCC ..... here are the forum rules which apply to everyone, not just imposed on you.
http://www.australian-coins.net/showthread.php?tid=23 (http://www.australian-coins.net/showthread.php?tid=23)
Since what you are offering potentially creates an advantage to yourself .... (ie: selling by others for a fee) .... then I think it's reasonably clear why your thread was snipped.
I think you'll find that if you are fair dinkum and obey the rules that your efforts and posts will be explored and commented on by the good bunch of people who frequent this forum.
No need to get your back up, as it applies to all.
Hang around and enjoy.
Thanks for laying things out Uni. OCC we're a friendly lot here but we expect people to participate before hawking their wares (or their websites). It's akin to knocking on someones door, coming in for a coffee and trying to sell a life insurance policy before the kettle has stopped boiling. The least you can do is drink your coffee, tell us about yourself, and then try to sell us your insurance. Don't be offended, the same rules apply to everyone.
Hi Markn,
Thanks for your reply, point taken, no offence taken, atleast now you know what brought me to the forum and don't have to wonder what I am doing at your door, im upfront, nothing to hide, ill be more thoughtful in the future about my post? Thought I posted correctly within the rules, Anyway we have established that. I understand what you mean about giving back and I hope to do so in the future, in more ways than one. There is some great info on here and some subjects that I wouldn't even thought would be a topic to talk about but they are and I find them interesting,
Cheers OCC, .....look at that... already got a nickname on my 1st day!!!!

Welcome to the forum, best thing to do is to participate in discussions and hang around for a period of time and you can ask about your website or what ever you wish.. You will get honest opinions from the folks around here...
Looking forward to seeing you around and participate in some coin discussions in the near future ..
Cheers, AP
Hi AP,
Thanks for the welcome, Also look forward to sharing and learning in the future,
I like your Slogan, Reminds me of better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it!!
Cheers, OCC
Welcome :)
Hi, And Thanks PPH, Not the best awesome start to forum for me with my approach, they do say first impressions last, but looks like everyone is still very welcoming, Nothing like a bang to make an entrance, Anyway, Some really useful info and subjects here,
Are you till looking for more members here? I was doing some reading and some prefer the low key scene, Whats your outlook for the future here?
We're always looking for new members. We have many members here who post frequently and those who look quietly. Given the nature (privacy, security etc) its ok what people choose to do. Input is always welcome, posting invited. :)
Thats great, members are up 10% from 3 months ago from 312-342, that's pretty good, wish I could've been here from the start to see it evolve and watch it grow
Welcome and have a good time.
Hi,
Thanks Goldseeker, Impressive gallery photo's of PNC's and Error Coins,
2 questions for you, 1- what are CUD's?
2- which new WW1 Centenary PNC will be more popular? Perth or Canberra? I think Perth?
Cheers, OCC
Welcome aboard, Oldcoinchest.
Always great to have new members.
Hi Triggersmob, Very impressive collection of photo's, if I took 10 photos a day for the next 2 years I would still be around 800 photo's short of your gallery, hell of a lot of coin knowledge right there, Well done

Thanks OCC, it has taken a lot of work to put all those pics up. I've been at it slowly for the last 8 years. :)
What is a cud: It is a bump or extra material that one might find on the rim od a coin. it is a raised section of the rim and could be on the reverse or the obverse of the coin.
A cud also refers to a piece of extra "metal" in a place where it shoyul;dn't be.
Here are a few "cuds" for you"
The cud in the following scan is above the "OLL" in the word Dollar:

The "CUD" is within the waves towards then top of the coin:

A coin with two rim "CUDS" near "INT" and again near "ONE":

Wonderful pics and descriptions.!! :good:
Yeah thanks for the great description and pics, You learn something everyday! If someone saw that and still doesn't know what Cuds are?,,.... They don't deserve to know, Cheers
Please be advised that the above is only a selection of "cuds" that I have found.
Have a look at the "error" topic and a lot more will become visible.

Hey, what I want to know is the origin of the term cud. The only other meaning I can think of is a mass of half chewed vomit (chewing the cud)
Many years ago I read somewhere that 'CUD' stood for 'coin under developed', but can't remember where or who it was that said it. I reckon it it had to be on a coin forum though, so most likely either CCF or the old Aussie forum, (not ACBO).
Please don't quote me on it. :angel:
Could have been in some type of Coin Magazine too.

That doesn't sound right. seems like somebody back then tried to make an acronym fit. If a coin is under developed is a CUD then wouldn't that apply to light strikes and die pressure adjustment strikes?
Might as well say WTF means why the face.
I can't answer that question. I just go with the flow.

Wicked rabbit ears!!! never seen one so prominent!
Have a look at my Gallery coins. There are some there that might enlighten you.
In saying that, I am still after a 2013 Rabbit Ear if anyone has one?
