Hi everyone, I'm a newbie in this forum and proud of it! :yahoo: I've been collecting for a while, but this is my first forum for coins. I came across this one a few days ago.
Is it one really wide or multiple lamination's? Or is there more to this coin, as there seems to be a lot of carnage, maybe it was simply abused in circulation? Does the first small roo (aka "rabbit ears") really have its' leg up the other roo's butt? Has the large roo paw doubled at the bottom? Viewing from top angle down it almost looks like the large roo's leg & paw are doubled on the edge of the coin?
There are a few other anomalies, but maybe just circulated wear and tear, not sure, so I'm interested in feedback. Cheers.

:welcome: to the best Aussie Coin Forum. :winkextra:
Re your questions about the 2008 $1, to my way of thinking it's either a massive Lamination, or it was a defective planchet prior to being minted.
Either way it's a great error and you may search for years before you find another one like it, so :yahoo: .
The query re the small roos leg, it's perfectly normal, the area beneath the largest roo's foot is affected by the lam.
Get a normal MOR coin and compare them side by side and you'll soon notice what's different on your 2008 coin.
A lovely lamination Lorikins!
Awesome. Thanks :)
