gap years

[ausjack]

Ok, so what years..66 and 08, any others?? and how much of a gap is classed as a gap year?? and are they worth keeping??

They're the only ones I'm aware of. I'm not sure if there's any variability but I think some of the 2008 ones aren't quite a gap. I would say the 2008 ones are worth keeping, and I can't remember the 1966 mintage but probably only if they're in good condition.

'66 was a mint mark -Canberra had a small gap and London no gap.
'08 is very variable -range from a wide swirl where it touches the Platypus' head to a clear gap of about 1mm. Some look like a gap at first glance but, on close inspection, have a tiny "whisker" across the gap.

I found one of those whiskers today.
You might want to get some coins from the bank to go through ausjack as I've found the 2008 gaps come by about one if every 30 2008 coins.

I don't have too many and I've been thru a few coins now. I find it funny how some people come across lots of a certain type of coin and others can look for ever, I've not long found my first incuse and I've been looking for 10 years and still not even anywhere close to a mule :dash1: but we live in hope :good:
