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

[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

I have received his reply and here it is:

Dear 2789616,

Hi Bruce, keep searching, that was a typo it should have read 2006

So nobody missed much.

Thanks for following that up Goldie!

That being the case I'm probably not spewing at missing it any more. With no 2005 on our combined list I was thinking WOW!

Does the 1985 make a count of 6 known now Goldie?

[Goldseeker]

I am led to believe that is the figure at the moment.

:yahoo: Woot! Just found one. My very first!

This is turning out to be a very good sack. :angel:

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?

Goldie, in your opinion what do you think a 1985 should be worth.

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.

I have one.

I bought it on ebay for about $7 as a BIN about three or four years ago. I would happy have paid $50 for it.
I can't find the list in this thread.
One I know of:
1984
1985
1994
1998
2000
2006
2008
2009
2010

There are more than one die for some of these years.

[b_j_w_79]

My collection of rabbits ears include;

1984 (from a forum member only I haven't found one myself)
1985 (one only)
1994
1998
2000

I don't have any of the recent years......yet! I might have to search for some :derisive:

I've scrolled through this thread and picked out the pieces for a wiki. Goldy your pics are there.

No worries PPH, anything that I put up in this forum, particularly scans/pictures, may be used for passing on information or promoting coin collecting by any forum member.

Thanks for doing the Wiki PPH ..... can you add 2013 to the list?

Yep, done, thanks.

[Ozcoins]

I just found a 2006 rabbit ear/spew roo.

[Unicorn]

Cool find Ozcoins!!! Does it also appear to be a misaligned die strike?

[Ozcoins]

Now that you mention it Uni, it does have a slight double rim too.
I thought you might be joking, but I guess you have one the same?
