Noodle Frenzy #3

I unofficially noodled over the weekend and noticed that a lot of coins, particularly five and Twenty Cent coins, in the years 2006 - 2009 had very soft strikes. On the obverse, the three throat wrinkles, the ear and earring outline, and the small under-curl on the hairline (from the neck to the ear) were not evident. On the reverse, the strike was soft particularly noticeable on the eyes, nose, and left claw of the echidna, and on the body line and claws of the platypus. On the fifty cent coin, the kangaroo foot and the '5' in 50 had soft definitions and blurred into each other.

This soft impression was so common, that I found it rare to find a clean strike.

So my question is: Should I keep the soft strikes or the normal (and rarer in my noodling) clean strike coins?

Very nice Steve. Gives us hope that there may still be some more out there!

Rather than creating a topic for voting on the winner if 3 people Post seconding the motion that steve is declared winner the prizes are going to him (although they are pathetic in comparison).

Steve - As stated in the competition rules the mule must be surrendered. My address is...

More seriosuly are you going to sell or keep? My advice would be to hold because you probably arent ever going to find another one

Hands down win to Steve! I'll second the motion too.

I really am not quite sure if there's anything with the potential to be found in circulation that could top a mule. No vote needed on this one lol
