Hi all,

It's been a while between posts. I found this one last night. I'm pretty sure it's a wavy 2 (the closer the scan the better it seems to look). Some of these seem to have different levels of 'the wave' so I've put it up for everyone's opinion/s.

Looks like a wavy 20c to me!
- base of the 2 has a wave
- ripple above the base of the 2 has a wave
- down stroke of the 2 gets thinner
On my one, I found that looking at the face of the coin at different angles would change how clear all the features are. Light from different angles may also help.

Definitely a wavy Ben for the reasons Ozcoins listed.
How good condition is it overall? Pictures please.
Jeff

Happy Anniversary B_J_W!

Well done; about time I found one -haven't seen one for a couple of years now.

I suspect not many still circulating with many people looking for them.

Genuine wavy
Finding one by noodling basically improbable odds

I had a long period when I didn't find one (over 4.5 years and $27.5K worth). I've now found a couple in the last 6 months. I'm back to work again after a holiday so I won't have as much time to search as much.
