Noodling finds

[r9453]

I don't like that Parkes coin. I have an UNC and proof of that and they even look dull (no wonder circulateds usually look pretty shit). I put that down to poor design ( or checking first, sample strikes).

But, that one is out of the box.

Thanks Jeff, I have proof an Unc examples as well and I agree they are kinda dull. So, I guess some designs just don't strike up so good? Anyhow, I like the way this one has gone beyond the beyond.

This one might help, it was a 2006 spew roo with rabbit ears

Yup, that's what I call a spew roo. Here's the 2010 I found though... can't really call it that, the cud's too big.

Fulvio, perhaps yours had just been to an all you can eat restaurant ..... what's that skip, the mussels were off ..... :heat:

ROFLMAO! The mental picture is.... disturbing...

Hey Fulvio:-   My 2010 Rabbit Ear Spew Roo has a larger rabbit Ear on it.   Maybe yours is an early press of the mine.........

I'd say so, yes. Wonder how much worse it got?

[Goldseeker]

I haven't seen any worse than mine for a long time now.

I don't noodle very many $1 coins but always check my change. I have been putting any better looking ones aside and today sorted them out.
Was able to make quite a presentable commemorative set -a few could be better but, plenty of time to improve later.

Hey all how's things?
I came across my first 2013 20 cent today in a few $$ of coins, that's now the 2013 $2 and the 2013 50 cent.  

Also in the noodle I came across this, your thoughts pretty please???
Hopefully you can see it, it looks to me like another coin was struck on it but not sure if it's mint damage or pmd... Around the rim



Thanks in advance
Matt

no eggs-spert
but it looks like road kill to me

[Nevol]

Yeah, road kill allright. Sorry Matt. :angel:

[robbiegal]

road kill has it's own special character

the tale or vey tall story that was behind the events before it got run over by the ten ton truck or fell into the tram lines

or how it slipped from the silk lined pocket of a pretty young damsel on the bow on the Titanic, just before it hit the iceberg in the dark of the night and so on (yes, the Titanic really sank in 1982)

and so on

[MattGold]

So someone has def got the hammer and another coin onto this bugger than? Damn damn lol

[Fulvio]

(yes, the Titanic really sank in 1982)

Yeah, but that was the USS Titanic, a rowboat that sank just above Niagara Falls. The pretty young damsel was last heard going over the edge yelling "sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiitttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[robbiegal]

well, I can't see lettering
maybe the picture is too big to see such detail?
