I will be able to post some images, but I don't have examples of all the ones on my list, so please feel free to post images of any/all that you do have. :winkextra:

If you have examples of or know of any Decimal Upsets that aren't on my list, please tell us about them as well.  I will update the list with any new ones advised.

I've changed the degree on some of the 20c to 10-12°, due to my not being 100% certain that I'm getting the obv in exactly the correct upright position.

Hmm, more than what I thought in regards to the $1 upsets.

I shall have to look more.

Thanks for the list Nevol.

[purplepennyhunter]

I need to look a bit more closely. Thanks Nancy.

5c 1966 London (I have seen 9 o'clock; there may be others)

2c 1968 10 c'clock
2c 1982 10 o'clock


Your 1966 10c are of course London.

I recall 2 different angles for 1996 Parkes dollar.

[Unicorn]

Here's a pic of a 2005 (left) next to a standard 2010 (right) for comparison. (I haven't measured the upset yet).

I'll post a pic of a 2006 as soon as I can.

[Robster]

Recycling at its best.!! (2x2's).!!  :good:

[Unicorn]

:laugh2: .... yeah, a bit ordinary but do the job. (Odd looking florins aren't they :angel: normally they just have the one roo).
Here's the 2006 scanned next to the 2005 from above. (To see which is greater / lesser).

There doesn't seem to be too much difference in the degree of rotation.

Will muck around later and try to get the actual degree for both.

5c 1966 London (I have seen 9 o'clock; there may be others):
2c 1968 10 c'clock
2c 1982 10 o'clock

Excellent stuff!

Your 1966 10c are of course London.

Spot on!

I recall 2 different angles for 1996 Parkes dollar.

I have one that's about 330° Rotated and I think I bought another one in the last year or so, but can't find where I put it. :dontknow:

Most of the images I have are scans, so I want to re-do them all using my scope.  Might take me a while as I'm being a bit lazy at present.

I think Jeff might have sold an upset parks recently, getting a good list going there Nevol, thanks mate :good:

[JeffH]

No, not me. Was it Unicorn? I can recall someone mentioning find one.

[ausjack]

Ah sorry Jeff yeah I think it was Uni now, memory like a sieve mate :winkextra:

[Goldseeker]

I have found several of the Parkes upset but they are getting harder to find now.

[Nevol]

I have found several of the Parkes upset but they are getting harder to find now.

Are they all upset to the same degree?

[Goldseeker]

Pretty well to the same degree of upset.   In saying that, there are two lots of upsets, one not so rotated as the other.   But both show the Queen leaning backwards.

Found the thread where Goldie describes the two Parkes offsets.
