Wanted: Info on 2001 CofF $1 rotations

Ozcoins · October 26, 2013, 02:24:41 PM

I am going to try to make a "clockface" of CofF rotations.
For anyone wondering what I am talking about, I mean getting a set of 12 coins which covers rotations at 1oclock, 2, oclock, 3 oclock, etc
Can anyone shed any light on how common or rare each of the rotations is?

Try Goldseekeer. Resident $1 mule and rotation expert.

A true 11 o'clock is by far the rarest.

I was hoping Goldy would respond.
He is the only person I know of who actually has a full clockface.
I would also be interested in other knowledgable peoples responses too.

:i_agree: Goldie's the $6m Dollar Man (that's probably close to how many he's noodled). His 2001 COF clock was on display at the mint I think.

Yes, I saw it on display there!
Very nice!

What a good project, You could post pic's of you progress as you collect them :good:

Thanks Trout.
Some time back I was thinking that 'the hard ones to noodle' would be a wavy 20c and a $1 mule.
Now that I have found one of each I think the next big challenge should be a rotated $1 clockface.
I think it will be particularly hard as duplicates will turn up, so it will be much, more difficult than just finding 12 rotated coins (which seems pretty hard as well).
I have 2 at different angles so far - the one I found and one from a generous forum member.

There was a reference chart on the old forum if I remember correctly. Not sure if its made its way here...

Good luck with your search!

Wot if??? All of us who have 2001 $1 COF upsets post their holdings here so Ozcoins can maybe get an idea of what's been found so far.

I'm happy to do so and will take some images with my scope ASAP and put up the images for everyone to see.

I've got some really crook scans, but the new images should be a lot better.

Wanna bet?

I found these plus a few hundred other individual coins "gambling" at Crown in Melbourne. They are all within a couple of degrees of the exact angle.
Out of all the coins I found, there were a lot at around 11:15 but only 5 were within tolerance of 11 o'clock.

excellent!!
love it
thanks for the pics

Unicorn · October 26, 2013, 05:54:09 PM

Wow! A few hundred! Incredible.

I've found a 3, 8 and 9 o'clock but due to finances I've sold them on.

Thanks for elaborating!
Very nice!
PS. Just in case my post came across badly, you are certainly included as a knowledgeable person.

Once you've found a few, you can always chat to Goldy and see about some swaps, at least for the common ones anyway.
