Many mules that I have found and/or sighted are missing up to 40% of the double rim between the 7 and 1 position or the that left quadrant area.

Yes Goldie, I'd had a look at all of the ones in your gallery and this one seemed to have even less than your least one. I did intend to do a % calculation once a clearer pic is posted.

Here are some better pics of the Mule. The rim runs from about 12 to 8. From what I have read that pretty much the most common off-strike position and more common than centred ones.

Yes, a lot better photo. (Thanks for posting it Dave).

In the earlier photo it looked like around 1 to 7 o'clock (which would have been small as a percentage) but it could have been the angle of the coin etc, or my crappy eye.

Thanks again.

I think it's really cool that we can still noodle a mule every so often. It's great people post up here when they have a win. I am not in the mule club, looked but never found one.

This was from Sydney metro. Have probably gone through about 5000 $1 over last 12 months so I think I was pretty lucky.

My very first Mule that I found came from Merrylands RSL Club.

I have found a couple at the West Tigers Footy Club at Campbelltown.

If you have the time SirDave, hit the bigger clubs that have pokies and still have $ coins, can't go wrong.

Cool Pedro ..... Speared roos are in fashion.

Is that a cold shut on the 2005?

Pedro

I think it might be a cold shut Uni but I'm not an expert on them.

Don't know about speared roos but certainly saw a large number of  roos that had been hit by the side of the Hume Highway during my travels during the week!

Did some noodling today on 500 x $1 and 2000 x $0.50 cent coins and these turned up:




Further, this one turned up.   Looks like a "strikethrough" but I am no professional so will take advice:

Hi Goldie,
Not sure about the possible strike through, but these reasonably often have just a dent in that position, which I think is strike through. I think your one may be somehow related to those.

Goldseeker

Yes, I have seen many of the Flag coins with an "oval" indent just below the corner of the flag.

I shall post some picking next time I come across one.

Got this one in my change on Monday, probably the best looking 50c I've come across for a while.
