Do rotated (upset) Mob of Roos coins exist???

[ausjack]

Ok after doing so many coins now I was wondering if anyone has found or knows if there are any upset/rotated MOR $1 because I can't remember ever seeing anything about them :scratch_one-s_head:

I think I have some with minor upsets somewhere. I'll try and find them later to confirm.

[ausjack]

Thanks Uni, just something that doesn't seem to get talked about much

I believe some of the 2005 MoR were very slightly upset, but not by much.

I have seen 2005 MoR listed on ebay, but could not notice from the pics that get were actually rotated.

When I was at the RAM's Production floor opening many years ago, I was informed that there was a production +/- of 5(?) degrees something before any corrective work was done on the alignment.

It is possible that here could be some Roo upsets but the ones I know of are:
1.   2001 Cent Of Federation
2.   Sir Henry Parkes
3.   Intl Year Of Older Persons

If there are any more, I'd interested to hear about them.

Nancy's list says 1985 and 2005 have been reported -but with a question mark she has not been able to definitely confirm them.
I have checked thousands of these without finding anything enough to qualify (certainly well less than 5º upset).

[Goldseeker]

Same same ere Jeff.

So, if there is a $1 MoR coin with a reasonable upset it is very scarce and, probably. worth quite a lot of money.

I can confirm the 1985 as it's in my safe.  Not a massive rotation but about 20 - 30 degrees.  I thought I posted an image of it in Nancy's thread but can't see the image in my gallery so maybe not.

I'm away at the moment but will post an image in a month or so.  Please remind me if I forget (which is becoming more and more frequent).
Found it, thought I had posted an image.

It's in the "Today I found in my change..." thread, post 256 on 10/6/13.

I once put it on Ebay with a $0.99 starting price and didn't get a bid.  Not now.

[JeffH]

I will happily bid 99¢ for it now! (Fat chance I suspect.)
Scarcity, relative to CoF $1 upsets, should make it worth many times that.

Very interesting, I only asked as I like GS have noodled many coins and it's one thing I haven't even looked like seeing and as there's so many because a $500 bag about 3/4 are MoR but as for other errors there seems to be heaps but thanks heaps for  the replies team and thanks Steve for confirming :good:

For most people 20 to 30 degrees is too small to be interesting as it can be due to the die being placed in the press at the wrong angle rtaher than rotating during a production run . For example most if not all the 2005 Gallipoli dollars have the obverse at 1 o'clock as do a large number of the 2005 mob of roos.

[ausjack]

Thanks Peter, I'll keep an eye out for all but it help to know what one's are more prevalent.

[Goldseeker]

Nice lot of info there emu666.

If the Gallipoli $ are at around 1 o'clock, (or 30 degrees), then that would be norm for that coin and anything else would be an upset wouldn't it?
