eBay (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1966-20-CENT-London-Wavy-2-variety-scarce-type-coin-/221569472770?pt=AU_Coins2&hash=item339691d902)

:laugh2: ...... What a shocker!

It must be "beaten coin day".

I thought the base of the neck of the 2 should be thinner ........ but I'm only going from memory.

Don't know about being a" wavy" but it is the best example of "road kill" I have seen in a long while :laugh2:

Funny how there's less shrapnel damage in the area of the foot, except of course for the main bang :dodgy:

That coin gives "roadkill" a bad name. Think I will look elsewhere for a wavy! :shok:

Sold for $15!! Trout did you treat yourself a birthday pressie? Sorry but I don't think it will grade because of the bagmark :)

I treat myself to a pressie many times a year Kathryn :)
Self indulgence is one of my greatest pleasures .
I will own my third Pagoda in a few days, ALL is good in the World.
AJ sent me my credentials, check out the birthday thread  :angel::laugh2:

That is a rather nice specimen, a bit over graded and cleaned but it looks like the real McCoy to me.
Not for me tho, I would rather spend 2.5k on Proc coins than this, Each to their own :ok:
