some halfpenny varieties to oogle

[robbiegal]

Hi guys and gals - i went to my local auction this last week-end and picked up my usual mixed lots of junk that i just love to sort through
here are some sweet errors that I have to add to my error collection ...
i hope that the pics aren't too big but these types of errors need a big pic to se 'em

Denticle pattern below the roos' bottie

same error but now the denticles are under the roos shoulder

excellent 'oily die fill'

I call this one 'dinasour roo' -

last but not least
a top little 'filled' 4

[ausjack]

are these things really worth anything or just another coin for the collection as I'm finding noodling isn't worth the trouble and as the arse is fallin out of just about everything I might have to turn to crime  :mafia:

[robbiegal]

varies mate
the misstrike is worth a few bob
the other errors are more for error collecting
i have paid around $20 for the denticle pattern errors in the past
my coin dealer said that the die fill '64 halfpenny is one of the best that he has seen
the die filled 4 in the 1949 is a first find for me
the dinasour roo - just a great fun error for collectors

i 'noodle' through bags of coins and i suppose i enjoy looking for hours and hours and hours ..... it is my hobby and i enjoy finding the errors

[ausjack]

Yeah Nancy will love this lot, she's right into them :good:

[robbiegal]

cool - another lady varieties collector!!

[ausjack]

NO NO NO..she is THE lady of errors, she's bloody good and has enough knowledge and pic's on them that she'd sink the titanic

Brilliant Images Grannie Robbie :wavemulticolor:

The coins are damned nice too

Love that ramstrike.

cheers
i am still getting to know the new camera
getting that entire rim in focus is a challenge
i don't have a stand for the camera and i can see the picture wobbling all over the view screen when i take the pic

had a tough day at work - definately feel like a grannie tonight!

even cooler!!! i hope that she likes the pics - everyone collects different types of errors - my hubby likes the die cracks and indian/london die varieties - i love the dots, denticles, die fills and off centres ... and and .. i could go on!! ha ha

Camera make and model ?

Very Niiice Robbie,that new camera & your steady hand are doing a very nice job.

[robbiegal]

i'm afraid that i can't impress you with the make and model
as cameras go it's a cheap as chips Olympus SZ-14 with 14mps and 24 optical zoom
got it from JB's in melbourne and the young bloke even added in a discount cause i grabbed a navman a the same time - i told him that i wanted a new camera to take close up pictures of coins ...errr the pending grandchild . it is excellent not having to use my magnifyer over the lens for the close ups! after 7 years of doing that with my old olympus camera!

I like the dinosaur!

[robbiegal]

g'day PP
yeah they are tops and fairly scarce
anytime that i've listed one on ebay , it goes to a happy varieties guy!

Well the optics and sensor in that cheap as chips camera are top shelf.

I like the dinosaur!

Maybe the StegaRooasaurus :angel:

hey fordie
i am a tad branded with the Olympus cameras
my son has a 1966 Penn-xx - 2 photos to a film slide
and it takes spectacular photos
my old one is an olympus 'tough' camera - so i take it underwater and drop it, have had it out in the snow - still goes like a beauty -they have more than halved in price since i bought mine
this one is excellent - i also have a 10 zoom x 14 mps and i gave that one to the son as i just couldn't get it to work for me but this new one is great - the son of course, figured out the other one in about 35 minutes - i certianly felt like a dinosour when he did that.
the SZ  also has many instructions built in, so i just go to the information button for 'help' items - for $157 (on special) it has been well worth the price
