after another dismal effort of tracking down the $2 coin yestie in any shape or form, i decided on to ask for any 1c or 2c thinking, every other time they say no we cant let them go, well they shocked me and i came home with another 6 or 7 kg of them.
so now instead of checking each individual coin up close and personal i just want to check the dates and SD to save time. but before i start i want to make sure there are no other main variations to look for? errors will be obvious. thanks for any help.
might even make a few bright and shiny ones to list as brasso lustred :angel:
Just the 1966 mintmarks I think.
I wouldnt be bothered with the mintmarks to be honest. They can be very hard to determine on a circulated coin. Just chrck 66, 67, 68 and 81 for no SD and keep any 68s of course.
Also think there may be different 4's in the 1974 2 cent pieces.
I agree with enworb, ofcourse keep the 1968's

I have a 1973 no SD that is NOT a die fill.

The photo I have of it is a 433kb jpeg which is too large to post. Markn might still have a copy of it.

Is there any other known examples of a 1973 with no SD?
There is also Perth Reverse
1973 and 1974 2c coins.
here i was thinkin i could save heaps of time lol but with my system of sorting out rubbish and putting the rest into years will make it easy in the end i guess

I never knew that. No one (that I'm aware of) has ever spoken about "no sd" other than the 66, 67, 687 and 81. Learn something new every day :yahoo:

I haven't heard about that. Do you know what to look for? Is it to do with the different mints maybe?
