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

[Goldseeker]

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

I have not heard of any report of any Rabbits being found in Mint Sets to date.   In saying that, maybe we as collectors are not looking enough.

Look for yourself and determine the grade as I am not a grader of coins, I just collect them.   This coin pictured is the one I have at home the other is in the display at the RAM:

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

Yes,mint sets were struck from specimen dies.
The rabbits ear only appear on business/circulation strikes.

Thanks for the pics Goldie! :good:

I'm really hoping that one of the forum members got this one this afternoon ...... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/281144059195

[ausjack]

cheap as chips mate, be good if someone did so we can get some close-ups :good:

[Fulvio]

Hrm.. why the dancing man? And what are "back biting roos"? Spew roos?

Wonder what it would have gone for with some decent piccies?

[Unicorn]

Yes, pretty odd wasn't it including the dancing man in a group like that ..... and some decent closeups would have helped heaps.

I don't know about the roo's spewing, but I am for missing it .....

[Nevol]

Yep, 'back biting' is the same as 'Spew Roos' and the dancing man has a Cud on the Hat, sometimes referred to as 'sunnies', I have a few of these.

Thank you Nevol ....... that's another one that I had not seen yet.

The 2005 MOR in this lot had not been mentioned in this thread yet either! (That 1985 would have been a nice pickup, after Goldie's info).

[Fulvio]

Thank you Nevol ....... that's another one that I had not seen yet.

:i_agree:
Yet another Dancing Man error to watch out for. :yahoo:

[Goldseeker]

The Dancing Man Hat Cud is not a hard variety to find although the CUD itself can be rather small to very large.

I believe a former forum member, Brissyboy, had a few of these showing various sizes of the cuds.

Because of the previous notification for the Mass Rabbit's for sale, I shall have to keep my eyes open for the 2005 5 MOR Rabbit Ear.

If the sale included the 1985 and 2005 Rabbit ear, then the sale price was a genuine bargain.   Had I seen the sale, I would have bid a lot more than what they went for.   I purchased a 1985 Rabbit Ear for $100.00 some years ago and two or three days later, found one whilst noodling $1 coins.   One of them is on display t the RAM with my Clockface of Upsets.

The Dancing Man Hat Cud is not a hard variety to find

Counting a couple of sacks of UNC ones, I've easily gone through 20,000 of these, and while I've seen plenty of errors, this is new to me. Yes, I know that proves nothing. Just saying they're not common or we all would have seen them.

[Unicorn]

Just saying they're not common or we all would have seen them.

Yeah, they've certainly been keeping them under their hat!

Goldie, I was actually hoping you or someone else here had won them.

[Nevol]

Had I seen the sale, I would have bid a lot more than what they went for.

:i_agree:   Me too!  

I had a browse through the seller's feedback and he's sold a few lots like that, so keep an eye on that seller and some more will probably turn up. :winkextra:

[Goldseeker]

I have just sent an email to the seller of those coins to see if he a scan of the 2005 Rabbit Ear.  

If I get a reply I shall post it here.

If anyone of this forum sees another ad like the one above, could you please advise me by shooting off a PM.

Thanks
