Aj's errors and PMD

[ausjack]

Ok, had this and many other sitting around for a while now so thought I'd start to put all my errors and pmd together to see how it goes for a bit so here's one for ya's..this one really has me stumped as it's so strange being thick in parts but still the same size of a normal coin so this first one I'm not sure if it was done at the mint or in someone's shed




now some different one's

:laugh2: nah mate, bloody hammer got me a few months ago and slowly growing out..been a long long time and it still hurts when you do it And thanks for the warning Kel :good: but I like to show my hot body :blush2: and I know others like it too :mocking: isn't that right belly :winkextra:

[Robster]

Nice array of cuds A.J.! Hope you are continuing to improve in the pain area.!! :angel:

[ausjack]

heaps more to come yet Robster :good: and yes but it's still fun as it works it's way thru so hope it hasn't got much more to go as being in labour for over a month isn't fun so I just have to try and laugh or I'll go mad..er :laugh2:

[ausjack]

gee I've been finding a few of these..think this is about 4 or 5 now..look down the roos back :good:

[Unicorn]

Are you roo's back ones all 2009's AJ ?

I had one on the CCF forum ....... called it a "Roo na horn." (Seemed appropriate at the time).

Nice cud pics ...... keep em coming.

[ausjack]

I think they might be from my sad memory uni but I'll have to suss them out but I have to do a lot of sorting and need some folders to put them in as I think there'd be about quite a few hundred just in 50's let alone 20's and the rest of them..I'm in organised chaos with stuff all over the place :laugh2:

[Australian coin]

I don't have that's 50c, man I should start looking for that stuff, I just look for picture coins, unless its something that stands out

[Unicorn]

Totally understand AJ ..... I've got a few to sort out myself (it's more fun looking for them than sorting them out after you've found them).

Here's the CCF thread I was talking about.

ya do now little mate so don't look to hard, suppose I should send an extra for you know who :winkextra: Yeah ya have to look and I collect the pretty pic but now I collect everything but then put them back so if there's any ya like or you know who likes yell out and I'll send'em down..actually you come gettem :laugh2: ok ok I'll send them down

and yes uni I have 6 of them now and all 2009 but have a couple of 99 and an 08 that have screwed up feather things but not the blob like the 09 :good:

:laugh2: thanks uni but ya luck I'm slack and takes me years to get to these things as I had my first one ages ago but I have 2012 bubble now so it's all good and you did post first but I'll have to start posting as soon as I find them as I have 2010,11,12 and 13 with different cuds in places and that's in most denominations as well I need to get a life :laugh2: one day I'll sort this out or just look at it and think about doing something as I just looked at about $300 just in 50's but I know there's more there :scratch_one-s_head:

[Unicorn]

By the sounds of things AJ, you probably beat me to it (I only found mine in March)!!

Please feel free to use the word Bubble Bubble and Bubble at your leisure .... the same with any words I've used to describe the Roonahorn. :laugh2:

[ausjack]

:laugh2: bubble bubble bubble bubble bubble bubble bubble bubble

here's a quick scan for ya mate, the funny thing is how you toss them a side for a second look as you know there's something there but they're that big that you don't see the obvious but that seems to happen a lot in every day life as well..I pulled a few 2001's out with the different roozilla's so I'll put them up soon :winkextra:

here's the 99 and 08 if you can make them out but I have to take more of the roozilla as they didn't turn out big enough
he's some roozilla's for ya's, think that's most of them for now

[Fulvio]

That last Roozilla is also a speared roo. Just below the leaf. These are cleaning scratches which all run parallel, both above and below the roo. Happens on other coins too, notably 2003 Suffragette dollars and 2004 Student 50¢.

One of these days I'll get that error list done that I promised Goldy months ago. What's holding me up is a) pics, and b) deciding on the best format for the data. Both to record it and to display. I was going to do it as HTML like the mintage and note prefix files, and PDF for output, but it would get incredibly tedious. Excel is messy, and I'm now thinking of maybe using Filemaker. Stay tuned.

AJ, that first coin is PMD. Easy way to tell is if there is normal detail under the damage, it happened after striking. In this case the milling on the edge. Somebody jammed it in a vice, or it got caught in some machinery. But either way its not an error.

Also, something you may discard as damage or wear, but isn't, is strikethroughs. If you get a sack of brand new coins and study them, you will see more than a few holes in them. Some with gunk still filling them. These ARE errors, or rather flaws. In circulation of course, the coins pick up bag marks and dings and nicks and soon it gets hard to tell them all apart. But looking at the bottom of the gouge, you can see the rough surface of the real strikethroughs compared to the smooth damaged holes. Oh, and don't forget there are three dies... the edges get the same types of flaws and errors as the other two sides, though not as often, being a smaller area.

Nice pics btw... might end up stealing them for the database eventually. :angel:
