Noodling finds

[Mister T]

Hm, the 21st edition says "Mint set only" but mentions the 1.5 or so million pre-1987 coins as well.

[Unicorn]

Gee Jeff, three very nice finds! (Love the 2015 spew roo especially). :good:

[Pedro]

Some top finds there Jeff. The 2015 spew roo looks like he has lost his whole lunch!

I have never come across a 1993 20c in the wild and worked on the basis that they were MSO.

Mick's engraving/etching is very professional. Doesn't look like a mechanical process -lettering is extremely shallow and has a "burnt" appearance. Perhaps some sort of spark method?

[Goldseeker]

That 2015 Spew Roo would look nice in my collection if one wants to part with it.

[JeffH]

Goldie, You are top of the list if I ever find another.
My rule is first one goes in my collection and, if any more found, the best one is retained and any duplicates go to a good home.

[Pedro]

A few newies. A couple I haven't seen before.

2007 APEC $1 rim edge cuds



2008 $1 - cud on the Queen's tiara





A 2008 $1 spew roo. Cud shape is a little unusual (well, from what I've seen).



2008 $ 1- cuds on upper leg of the kangaroo

Cool Pedro, I think that's the first Tiara one I've seen.

Do you think the 2007 APEC might be a rim lamination, rather than cuds?

[Pedro]

It looks like overspray which I thought was more cud-like Uni (but I could of course be wrong). I'll see if I can get some more angled photos of it later in the day.

Pedro

[Unicorn]

I was think along the lines of something like this.

[Pedro]

Here's some closer shots Uni. Looks like you were on the money (so to speak) - seems to be some lamination action there.

A few more errors.

2014 $1 ANZAC - cud on top of the first zero.





2015 $1 MOR - cud on the Queen's cheek (suspect she may be having thoughts of Charles taking over the throne)



2015 $1 MOR - cuds on the big kangaroo's arms.



2015 $1 MOR - cuds on and near the IRB

Top stuff Pedro!!!!   :good:

New ... new ... new ... and new to me! Great pics!

[AussieSilver]

nice finds Pedro you must have quite a collection , how are you storing them?
[attachment=3423]5 cent with extreme doubling/blobbing , found 4 of these all come with the little cud on queens nose

[Pedro]

:ok: Great error 5c AS.

At the moment mine are stored a little haphazardly - it's more fun to look for more than pack them away in an orderly fashion :biggrin:

The better quality finds or rarer errors I put into Saflips and the lesser quality ones are stored by find date in snaplock bags. One of these days I will get around to tucking the coins in Saflips into sleeves and index them better.
