I was sorting through a heap of 10c coins I'd put aside for whatever reason and came across this little ripper in a teeny Zip-Lock bag. I reckon it's at about 30° CCW or 330° CW depending on which way they're measured. :angel:



I already had the two below from some years ago, but have no recollection of finding
the third one, so I don't know how long I've had it.  It's in pretty good nick too. :blush2:

About 15° CCW OR 345° CW depending on which way they're measured. :winkextra:


About 80° CW.

Now if you can just remember where you put that 1930 Penny,!!

The thing is if I had stashed a 1930 penny, it would have happened a long time ago and I would remember it as my long term memory is pretty well intact.  :whistle2:

Can't say the same for the last 5 years or so though. :nea:

That first one a real nice one!

Can we post any denomination or only 10c?

Nevol

Any denomination any era, all Aussie upsets are welcome here. :winkextra: :grin:

I don't think there is enough room for me to post my 450 plus COF Upsets............

Nice 10c upsets regardless.

A nice little Federation dollar

Some nice stuff there Nancy, :)
I've got a nice 1919 and 1920 1d, and some nice 1962 1d's, not photograghed yet. Pure laziness, my bad.
A couple of other minor items in predecimal, nothing in the decimal era as such, yet.  
Nice one there pra.
Goldie put you clockface up again mate, it is special and a great achievement. :)

Quote from: 'Goldseeker' pid='4685' dateline='1355539501'You asked for it:


Very nice. Was that the display used at the RAM?

I think your 11 o'clock is a little off (I also found it the hardest to find).

Goldseeker

emu666:  Yes that set was/is on display at the RAM and still is on display as part of the million to one exhibition.

I can see that the 11 o'clock position coin has turned slightly but regardless of that, all the coins are with 0.5 degree of what they should be.

I must agree that that is one of the hardest to find.

But because my noodling has come to a complete standstill, I haven't found any keepers in the past 20 months or so.

Great stuff Goldie.  I wish I had enough to make a clockface.  I have got 12 CoF $1 but some are duplicates and I only have crappy old scans at present, not worth posting. :angel:

Despite noodling quite a few $1 coins I have never found a CoF upset more than about 10 degrees. Not even worth keeping. Plan on getting seriosu with noodling again over the next month or so.
