Title: 2011 Lizard Toungus and Lizard Tongues/Flea In The ear
Post by: Goldseeker on August 28, 2014, 08:19:44 PM
I have just noodled 500 x $1 coins and came across a 2011 Lizard Toungue.

I went to check my error page scans and found that the one I had listed as a 2011 Lizard Tongue is in fact a 2011 Lizard Tongue/Flea In The Ear.

So I now have two varieties of the 2011 errors.   Has anyone else any of these?

Here is my link to my scans:

I've had a look at both the ones I've had and they didn't have the flea in ear, but they did both have a die breakage impression in the shape of rabbit ears.

(ie: The broken part of the cracked die still remains in place but leaves an impression rather than a cud on the coin).

One of the ones I've had ends tonight on ebay, the pics will hopefully show what I'm talking about.

Unicorn:- That is what I would call a "lizard tongue".
