With no mention of the body/feet. While it stands to reason that there would not be two different tiny SD dies, positive confirmation would be good to have. As would stats for 2007... I've yet to see one of those.

And what about the body and feet?

Nah, I was concentrating on the SD at the time.  I might see if I can find them, but don't hold your breath waiting.  

Doing a MAJOR reorganization of my coins at present.

Is that again or still? I seem to remember you saying that yonks ago.
Thinking is dangerous, it makes you think. That\'s why many people avoid it.

I'm choosing to believe that the body outline and tiny SD are only found together (at least from 2007 onwards) - I doubt a second die would have been produced (or at least used for production).
I've found about 10% of 2007 coins have the tiny SD; I've seen other statistics say about 26% (regional variation I assume). In any case, the footnote in McDonalds and anecdotal evidence show the tiny SD is in the minority for 2007. I think there may have been discussions about this on Coin Community too.

Yep, still underway, it's a HUGE job. I do get sidetracked every so often, but am trying to stay focused. :angel:

Yeah, me too. But you never know with the RAM, so it pays to check.

And I'm amazed at those percentages. As I said, my score is nil.

We could always ask Our Lady of Perpetual Reorganisations, Nancy. :angel:

Sometimes the RAM images are not the same as the coins themselves :ok:

Artwork never is. :dodgy:

Interesting that that actual coin appears to be a light strike with the poorly defined webbing.

I don't think it is a light strike, The frosting on modern proofs tend to weaken the detail where the frosting has been applied to the coin.
All the real life echidna's that I have seen in the wild don't have webbed feet anyway :)

Probably just lightly-struck.. by a passing truck. ;)
