Here is one I eBay "Noodled" for $25

[robbiegal]

thanks guys
yes I do have one Trout
cause you sent it to me

I tell ya - I can't get my head around this die variety - but I'll keep at it until i get it - it took me a few thousand 1933 pennies to finally get the 1933/32 die variety - as soon as it crystallised I was tight - can spot them at 5 paces now

and silly me - I went straight to my pics and not to the coin in the album
i'll do that tonight (on lunch ATM)
cheers Robbie

I must have been very lucky because I recently noodled through 55kg
of pennies and 1/2 pennies and picked out 12 x   1933/32 overdates but also got about 35 x  1939 roo halfpennies

Nice haul there Stevo mate.. Just wondering if anyone has heard anymore about this one yet?? I know a lot were saying that this is PMD, I'm still on the fence about it, at the moment I am just looking for multigrips that make similar markings, testing on some old demented coins that I've found in circulation but none have come close yet. I don't think that this is a "vice" marking, only because I haven't seen any vices with this grooving.



Hey Trout, what is the metal/marking that goes from the rim to the L in Millennium on your incused?

You had me all excited then Mate.
I got the usb gizmo out and found it to be a scratch and not a die crack :cray:

Dang it lol, I thought it was a crack but dang it

Would have been reported long ago if it was.

As for the serrations, we've pretty much settled on PMD caused by a coin handling machine of some sort. There are too many around, and on all sorts of years, to be anything else.

Bugger the die crack, I am still hunting for a 'Bubble" on these :laugh2::laugh2::laugh2:

Huh? A Millennium bubble? Since when?

I presume you have the cracks at each end of the flag, the doubled lettering and the strikethrough in the middle of the flag?

Mate , I just get em , tag em and bag em.
When I FINALLY retire I will go through them with a fine toothed comb :ok:
Since the "bubble" is the flavour of the month , I just thought that I would throw that out there :diablo:

[Nevol]

Found these two during the last few months, I've tagged both as PMD, but not 100% sure that they are.

10c 2008 Rev PMD Duo   - actually looks like a strike through to me, but where would a piece of metal that shape come from?  Could a sliver like that get sliced off another coin during the minting process?


50c 1976 Obv PMD Duo   ??

[Fulvio]

50¢ is a cold shut that detached.

10¢ looks like impact damage, but the edges are far too sharp. Perhaps a strikethrough maybe? No idea what the object might have been though. But not PMD, IMO.

[JeffH]

I had a 50¢ with the same edge loss as that one. I think I might have thrown it back!

A quick noodling session this morning of $100 of 20¢ turned up a few interesting ones.

The scan doesn't show the full brilliance of this one...


This one speaks for itself...


And this ring in (chrome faced, steel core and well smaller) never fooled me for a second!

[Nevol]

That one that speaks for itself is calling out to me. :winkextra: I love it! :whistle2:

[JeffH]

Funny, I can't hear anything and I am in the same room as it.
It certainly called out to me when I flipped it.
PM sent.
