Be careful saying things like this Goldy as that is technically defacing currency; an offence that can result in a prison term.

sorry for going off topic
:dodgy: yeah that's a joke when you look at the criminals running the country and making all the rules..I'll keep saying it while ever my bum points to the ground and that's that your better off doing white collar crime as you do no time..and the things you can do and get away with would blow your mind, very sad really but what can you do but float along and DON'T rock the boat :winkextra: Can anyone name anyone that has done any serious time for white collar crime, and how many people kill them selves due to it and should the perpetrators be punished or let walk like they do If you take anything as an individual from anyone it is theft but do it as a business and it's all good. If I take $5 I'll get locked up but if I pinch $5,000,000 and destroy countless lives it's ok, so these thing really make me wonder.

Sorry for the rant but I'll leave it at that for now as I feel better getting it out

we all put a secret mark somewhere on the coin to identify it that it has already been looked at.

We have only two banks in town. If I take $1 coins back to which bank most of them end up at the laundromat.
The laundromat banks at B of NSW and I get $1 bags there for noodling.
So, I have marked that particular coin 598 times and it is still in the loop! No?

Yup. Which is why you need to force them to pull in new coin from Armaguard.

Getting back to the OP's thread regarding "Road kill" Can you imagine what a 1984  dollar coin has suffered over the years due to the "Pokey" machines and the drinks that have covered them over the last 27 years.
and yet I still found 2 of these in my pocket change in Unc condition last year :yahoo:
The odds of not finding a buggered 1984 dollar coin in your change is about 100 to 1:angel:

That's because of people busting them out of the brown folders. Happens quite a bit, as does finding them with remnants of mirror finish on the field around the design.

An honorable mention for this one I found noodling last night?

Now Fulvio, don't tell me that one is not "remarkable"!

[ausjack]

I don't know I've seen worse..and they're in my collection I'd give it a fine as there's still a lot of the crown left :laugh2: sorry Jeff, I wanna be good

[JeffH]

I wanna be good

Since when?

Maybe a dishonorable mention then?

[ausjack]

since I turned over a new leaf but it didn't seem to work

[Fulvio]

Take some fuzzy pics and bung it on ebay with a few choice keywords and a story about how you found it in your dead uncle's undies who used to work at the mint....

[JeffH]

And a week strike on the date too!

[ausjack]

and don't forget the coldshut across the 1 on the reverse..and the small dints can be multiple cuds..very rare :laugh2:

[JeffH]

How 'bout this one I just found in an Armaguard sack? I can see the eBay listing now.... Rare Mint Error, Spectacular, One of a Kind!!! {Someone dropped a bag of grit in the press.}

And AJ, I can see the crown -it is a crown of thorns.

What, the date? Look at the scan you idiot -OK then, 1999.

[ausjack]

gee wiz what can I say to that, you've excelled your self again Jeff :bravo:

[Fulvio]

How 'bout this oneIi just found in an Armaguard sack?

You should send it to PCGS. Or APCGS might be better.. MS68, no worries at all!
