Noodling finds

[Fulvio]

Lizzie in the wars (2013 50c):

Not a common spot for face cuds. Nice one.

BTW, could we get bigger pics out of you in future? Its sometimes really hard to place exactly what we're looking at cos they're overcropped.

[Unicorn]

Nice one Pedro!

Gee, Goatieman would probably like that one even though it's 50c rather than $50. :angel:

[Pedro]

Hi Fulvio - very much an amateur still with photos. Will try and see if we can expand them in future!

Nice chunk out of that $1 coin mate....

Here's a 10 cent that grabbed my attention, I still can't work out what causes the background to be like that. Have 3 or 4 10 cent coins with the same look. Only difference is this one shown has a couple of extra goodies on it. Cheers

[Nevol]

Hmmm..I reckon that 10c is either a 1999 or 2008.  Very worn die IMO. :angel:

[Fulvio]

Very worn die IMO.

Not convinced that's the answer. I've had examples from very early in the production run that had that crazing. I tend to lean towards some problem with the chroming... perhaps they got either the soup or the voltage levels wrong? It wouldn't take much to produce orange peels.

Something just came to me... have we seen orange peels on non-chromed dies? Earlier predecimals? That would torpedo my theory.

Close but no cigar, 2001

I reported somewhere in this thread that I found a 1966 50c piece whilst noodling so time ago.   I did the same thing today.   Yahoo.

Further, I found a new 2010 Variety and have called it a 2010 Flea In The Ear.   Have a look:



I have had a real good close look under magnification and there definitely is a thin raised line protruding from the ear to the right, a small break then an very small indent.   Could be the start of a rabbit ear but not sure.

[Unicorn]

Nice find Goldie!  Gee the 2010 is definately providing some variation.

RG, I'm pretty sure Goatieman is but he's been very quiet here and CCF for a while now. Hope he's ok.

[Fulvio]

Could be the start of a rabbit ear but not sure.

Definitely.

Which leads one to wonder why we haven't really seen early-stage "fleas" on the other years. Maybe they were too worn from years in circulation by the time we noticed the error?

There were 'flea in the ear' $1 coins in 2009. I have at least 1, but I think Goldy may have more as I'm pretty sure he posted about them on ACBO.   I've dug up some old images and will add them to this post soon.

[Nevol]

Here they are.  Dates I took the images are also noted. Images 1 & 3 are from the scope, the others are all scans.

$1 2009 Rev Flea in ear Close Up 300610  - More like a small RE actually


$1 2009 Rev Flea-Mouse 170512


$1 2009 Rev Mouse Ears C.Up C5 300610 - detached from the Roo's head and attached to it's back. Kind of reminds me of the Penny where the Roo looks like it's carrying a pair of spectacles.


$1 2009 Rev Mouse Ears c1 170512 - detached from the Roo's head and attached to it's back.


$1 2009 Rev Mouse Ears v1.1 290412 - detached from the Roo's head and attached to it's back.

Is that a cud up next to the rim? Never seen that before...

[keldaw]

I found this today in the club  2010 r/e dollar
