yep , true trout , but much the same thing ..only different claws.

 redclaw in qld and marron in nsw and down south .. ,, the redclaw from qld started many years ago in the floods in the richmond river up in north qld .. and the blueclaw,  cousin of the redclaw are smaller and are found in the barcoo river  and along its run into lake eyre ..

This one I found yesterday is probably worth a mention. I seem to recall promising the next one I found would be offered to a forum member. Having trouble recalling exactly who -so, if you are that member, please remind me.
Don't bother forming a queue. Just reply to my original message.
Thanks,
Jeff

Did you get a thrill in finding it JeffH?

All I need to noodle now is a 2001 20c Upset.

Oh, in four days of noodling, I have picked up 2 x Incuse 50c pieces.   (That makes 5 finds to date).

[Ozcoins]

Congratulations Jeff and Goldy!
Nice finds.

I find the incuse 50c are very hard to find (although I have managed to find 3 of them in all my searching).  Finding 2 of them in 4 days is very good.

I have had a pretty lucky day myself.
I found 2 1985 50c and 1 1993 50c

I can't for the life of me figure out those incused coins
not even sure if I have ever seen one in the hand to at least start
the various photos that i've seen don't really seem to show anything much to me
no body seems to put a normal and an incused side by side for a person to tell the difference

[JeffH]

Always a thrill to find a rare variety. And it doesn't fade with subsequent finds.

It can be a little hard to tell, but I think there are other diagnostics. On one the bottom tip of the flag is closer to the rim or something.
