Hi,
I recieved a proof $1 from a seller on ebay and it seems to have imperfections.
I have attached the best scan I can but it doesnt truely represent what you see with the naked eye. On pretty much all writing on the back it appears to be smudged upwards with dark areas.
I will try to get a better pic but this is what I have for now

I might have to wait until better pictures because i cant see anything wrong from the scan
Is that a Bicentenary coin?
Yours look just fine ChrisM

I can see the slight discolouring above the first "I" in "II" and above the "A" and two points above the "U" in Australia. It might caused by a previous humidity problem, or having been placed in a 2x2 before sufficiently drying after being washed (?). It does look like some has 'bled'.
Yes it is the Bicentenary coin. Graham is right in what he has said. It is really hard to get a decent representation of what I am trying to refer too. I do not have a super camera to take the shots but I will ask a family member who does. Thanks for the replies so far.
I managed to get some better shots:

Bad storage i'd say, or they left it sitting in direct sunlight in the holder.
I can see it now. Dont know what would cause it though.
