$1 MOR ...... So what years have rabbit ears

[Unicorn]

Thought it might make an interesting thread ......

So far I've seen

1984
1994
1998
2000
2008
2009 (not a whole set of ears, more the tip of where a long set would reach if it had them)
2010

1998 is the most common I've seen, followed by 2000 & 2008.

Any others to add to the list?

[trout]

I have NEVER found one of these in my change, The only one I have is a 1994 coin Enwarb sent me (Cheers Matty :good:)

[Fulvio]

Pretty sure I've got 1985 and 1995 lying around someplace... but ask Goldy... the Rabbit King!

[enworb]

No worries Jim. 1994 is the most common one ive found so far. Followed by 2006. 2000 is pretty hard from what ive seen.

[JeffH]

Goldseeker might know. If he looks for these.

[Nevol]

I've also got 1985 and 2006 Bunnies.

[humpybong]

[Goldseeker]

1985 is the extremely rare Rabbit Ear, just as rare as a good 1921/22overprint Threepence.

I shall add to the list over the weekend once I have checked my collection.

What about the Spew Roos, do need the years of those?

[Unicorn]

Thanks for all the input on this one.

Looking forward to your additions Goldie, thanks!

(Was thinking of just the ears at this stage to keep it simple).

[Goldseeker]

Firstly thanks to all that said I am the  Rabbit Ears king.   I further apologise for the late response.

I have found RABBIT EARS from the following years:

1984, 1985 (Extremely Rare), 1994, 1998, 2000, 2008, 2009.

Spew Roos have been found in the following years:

1984, 2006, 2008, 2010.

Combination of Rabbit Ear AND Spew Roos in the following Years:

2006, 2010.  

I have others but they involve cuds rather than categories listed above.

If anyone else has others, I'd be interested.

[Unicorn]

Thanks heaps Goldie for getting that data together.

Yes, I think with the amount of dollar coins you have examined you would definately be the King of Dollar coins, not just rabbit ears.

That 1985 sounds like a very elusive little fella.
Added: I'll have to recheck my 2010's to see if they have spew on them. :angel:

[Goldseeker]

In all the years I have been searching $1 coins, I have only found one 1985 Rabbit ear.   I purchased the second one several years ago from a forum gent who advertised that he had two in his possession.

After looking at ebay for a long time, I have only ever seen two 1985 Rabbits to date.

Total to date, 5 known to exist.   If any forum members have one, I would like to hear about it.

I believe this coin to be rarer than the 2000 Mule $1 coin to which I have found 39 and currently own 26.

What grade are these 85 rabbit ears Goldseeker? Have they been found in mint sets

[enworb]

I dont think ive ever heard of a rabbit ear in any mint set

[Fulvio]

Have they been found in mint sets

ROFLMAO! Yeah, right... and I have this bridge for sale...
