Noodling finds

[ausjack]

NAB here get armaguard rolls and they get heaps of world coins in them and all denomination but the ANZ get them from another lot and I haven't found any foreign coins in any of their rolls yet.

[Nevol]

Is anyone able to measure the angle for me?

I've got two, one's 320°, the other's 330° and yours is a bit more so I'd estimate 335-340°, just a rough guess though.

Thanks, Nevol. That was my guess as well. When I hold the queen's portrait upright and flip the coin, the portrait of Sir Henry Parkes is almost at a 45° angle, which looks rather creepy to me. My mind keeps telling me that this can't be happening, but I've done it so many times now that I know I'm not imagining it.

I got two changeover 5c pieces from $10 of 5c pieces.

Where did you get them from? Bags or rolls? Chubb, Armaguard or Prosegur?

Rolls which I'm pretty sure were Armaguard.

[Nevol]

Herc, I copied your $1 Parkes images and this is the result.

I believe the upset degrees are calculated clockwise, well that's how I've done it anyway.  If you want it CCW, then it's 24°.

I also put a copy of it in the Decimal Upset thread:

Hercules $1 Parkes Rotated 336°   

[Hercules]

Thanks, Nevol. Just keep in mind that there's probably a few degrees worth of error in that amount, due to the fact that I had to flip it over manually. I really ought to put it in a 2x2, but I don't have any on hand at the moment because I store most of my coins in food-grade plastic bags. I don't know which chemicals these bags contain, but I've been using them for over 15 years and never had a problem with them, so I assume they must be safe.

You can always put a rubber band around them just to take a quick pic then get the band off quick smart

Here are some of my latest finds:

2016 Standard $1: Notice the cud inside the second kangaroo's neck



2010 Standard 20c: My first bubble for the year

[Pedro]

Nice work Hercules. Those 2010 bubble 20c are pretty rare south of the border.

[ausjack]

I'll have to find my coins and see how many of these bubbles I have because from my poor memory I have a few, but then you are a lot further south of the border then me Pedro

[Pedro]

Yep, I haven't found any in the "deep" South AJ :biggrin:. I had to import some from the north.

Yeah CCR rock

Some newies and/or extensions of previous finds:

1999 20c - cud at top of the Queen's neck (along with doubling on the Queen's head). Haven't seen a cud in that spot before.



1978 50c - cud underneath the bottom left hand side of the shield. Again, nothing found like this for earlier 50c years.



1984 $1 - start of a spew roo.
 


2016 $1 - start of rabbit ear on top kangaroo and splash cuds on the 2nd kangaroo.



And on the same coin. Potentially another version of a spew roo if the die degraded further. Other cuds on the 3rd kangaroo have previously been further across the back to the right.
