"handcuffed roo"

I like it!!!
Nice find AJ.

[ausjack]

well yeah they are good,BUT these are what I want..old coins in really good nick..this is my best one yet of a 79 double bar, I was hoping for a nice one and I thought I'd noodle the $100 worth of 50 cent I got this morning and low and behold I found 3 more bags of 69 to 80 aUNC so I'm pretty bloody happy ATM..and be happier when people get the things I've sent :winkextra: Can't believe I've found all these nice old coins that someone has dumped back in the pond after good old dad or pop..or nanna, have put away and they just toss them back

this would have to be aUNC wouldn't it :huh: the other side is just as nice

[Unicorn]

WOW AJ!
3 more bags ...... incredible! :yahoo:
It looks great to me.
(One for the master, one for the dame ...... nah, give'm all to AJ!)

Mate, its not always like that... I'm about to throw back maybe fifty 1982 50¢ because of that cancer on the edges. And I suspect the others will follow when I get around to opening the rolls.

Lesson learnt though.. paper does NOT stop the rot. So from here on, ALL my rolls go into sealed LDPE bags, no exceptions.

[ausjack]

mate that's such a shame, my heart bleeds for ya as it must be breakin havin to do it

[Nevol]

here's an 80 with bum cud

I have some 1979 50c where the emu has bum cuds.

[ausjack]

I knew you would..it's why I call you the queen :thank_you:

[Nevol]

Well, I've never seen it on a 1980 before, so I'm not really earning that 'crown' am I? :angel:

thanks Nevol, I'd really appreciate it if you wouldn't mind

Here are the 2 x 1983 I noodled some years ago.  I never bothered too much with them 'cos I reckon they're both PMD.  

50c 1983 C1 Duo


50c 1983 C2 Duo



These 2 cropped piccies are of cuds on a 1979 50c coin, 1 x bum cud like Aj's earlier one, plus a foot cud on the same coin.

50c 1979 Rev Cud E's Bum + R's Foot c5v1


50c 1979 Rev Cud E's Bum + R's Foot c5v2

[ausjack]

cool, thanks Nevol and ya still the queen even if your missing one error

[ausjack]

BLOODY BLOODY BLOODY, do you see whay I see, do you see what I see, gettin so close it's not funny, decided to do a bit more on yesterdays noodle and found this sucker as it looked a little odd so I sit him aside then finish the pile of 03's then go back for second look as the corners actually looked reverse to the other with the corners dropped down and not up so here's a few of my usual pic's so I hope you can see the diff




see in the bottom pic how things don't line up like the good one

[Robster]

Got me stumped A.J.?  Question without notice from Mrs. Robster. 2001 Federation 50c (almost all features doubled, 2 roozilla lumps plus off centre strike on l.h.s. Common???.

[ausjack]

mmmm maybe more common that the 3 and 4 lumps, 4 is the hardest to find I think but you know the law of averages and doubling seem more and more common on all coins these days. lack of QC but I'll have to dig them out and suss if they all have it sorry
bloody good question mate as I had a look and it's very strange as some have doubling but then some don't so it must just be luck of the draw

[Fulvio]

very strange as some have doubling but then some don't so it must just be luck of the draw

Back when CoF's were almost new, and I was actively noodling ten grand a day, I identified over twenty distinctly different errors, the Fat 5 and Roozilla being the most consistent. You get everything from a partial doubling to the entire coin being pretty much one big cud. One day I'll haul that crate out of storage and document them...

AJ, the 50¢ have a fair amount of tolerance as far as rotation is concerned. You see those corners quite often, and I don't treat them as remarkable.

However there are a fair few other errors on the 2003. Look for doubling, especially across the bottom; Cleaning lines on the left; weak strikes esp around the fireman's gut as the most common. And of course the usual obverse cuds.

[Goldseeker]

Noodled this one today.   Flaking 1976 50c piece, a first for me:-
