Sorry Uni, yes it the first roo.

Very unusual place for a cud eh! I think that's a first Pedro!!!!

[Pedro]

Yep, I haven't seen anything in that spot on a 2015 $1 before.

For that matter, I'm not sure if I can remember cuds there on any other years either - they usually sit on the top of the back rather than being internal.

Found this while noodling that night. Just wanted to get opinions on this. I haven't seen one of these in my limited experience, but does anyone have any insight regarding how these coins turn out like that? They seem to have a triple rim going. Thanks!

p.s. apologies for the humongous images!

Have you checked the edge to see whether or not it's a collar error?  

A partial collar might explain why it appears as it does. I have 5c collar errors for all years 2000-2008 (except 2007) and they all appear to have extra rims. It seems to have been pretty common  during those years as I have multiples for some years.

This is a 2005 one as an example of what to look for.

Thanks for getting back Nevol! Nope the milling at the side is as per normal. Not affected at all, so I doubt it's a partial collar. I've got a 2000 partial collar and compared it. Doesn't seem quite the same haha.

[Nevol]

Oh well, I guess you'll just have to put it down as an off centre strike.  

That's the only other thing I can think of that might have caused it, unless someone else can come up with another idea.

A couple of cuds in places I haven't seen before (at least on those years)

2010 50c - long cud on RHS of the emu's neck



2012 50c - cud at the bottom of the downstroke of the 5/on kangaroo's foot

2010 50c - long cud on RHS of the emu's neck

I have one each  similar on 2004 & 2009, but still very different.

Never seen a cud on the 5 like that one.

Good finds!:yahoo:

[Pedro]

I thought I had another year where there was a long cud on the emu's neck Nancy but can't seem to find it in my list :dash1:

Here's another first find - 2016 50c with cud in reeds next to the emu as well as cuds in the plumage of the emu.

Got three rolls of 20c pieces to look through (as well as some other stuff I haven't looked at) - two of the rolls had a 2004 big head each. I felt like I was overdue but I wasn't expecting that.

[Ozcoins]

Nice finds Mister T!
I did a bit of noodling and found my first "2017 lest we forget $2" as well as a blue olympic $2

[Unicorn]

Top work Pedro, I don't think I've found any of those! :good:

Two from three rolls is pretty good going Mr T!!!

[Hercules]

Armaguard's been very good to me with the large heads, so I can't say I'm terribly surprised. I got two big heads from 12 rolls once, but two from three rolls is even better. Keep up the good work, everyone! :good:

[Mister T]

I did seven rolls of 50c pieces today - I got a New South Wales and a Victoria Centenary of Federation but no Milleniums.
