I recall seeing someone had a full clock-rotation set of 1962 pennies for sale a year or so ago, will have a look and see if I kept any info on it. I read something on a clock face for pennies - date not given - in Hanley and James' Collecting Australian Coins, which came out around 1966. On page 122 there is mention of upset pennies for 1950, 1962 and 1963 as well as 1962 Halfpenny and also on the 1952 Florin. The book goes on to mention that in 1964 a complete clock face was withdrawn from an auction after the bidding reached 25 pounds.....back then you could get a VF 1923 halfpenny for 20 pounds  |

I've put together a selection of the rotated 2001 COF dollars that I have. Still don't have the 1 o'clock and 11 o'clock ones - possibly harder to get, as they are close to 'normal' ones, and the rotation may not be obvious.   |

Well done PD ..... yep that's the one I'd seen ...... it seemed so long ago that I didn't look on ebay for it (rummaged through my coin docs and couldn't see it) ........ at that price I'm not that surprised that it's still there  , then again, I haven't got one for sale so I shouldn't laugh .... (too loud) |

PS: Love the 2001 COF set! Cheers, ta. Rotated coins are my favourite errors to collect. The 2001 COF's tell a story on how a loose die rotates, and the results are snapshots of a die's position as a coin is struck. I was lucky enough to get a lot of them in the one go  I'm pretty keen on finding the 20 cent of the same year - they seem much harder to locate. Still not sure if they go all round the clock as the dollars do. The penny clock set is nice, but way too much - else I'd have grabbed it... There have been a few singles of the pennies on ebay recently, but none even close to the $100 each that seller wants for his clock lot. |

I think the rotated 2001 20c is mainly found with between 30 - 120 degrees of rotation. There may be larger upsets, just I haven't seen/read about them.  There are a lot that are about 15 degrees upset, but that's apparently within the tolerance, so it's no big deal. At one stage I had dozens of them, but I sent most of the little beggars back into the wild but I know I kept some. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

Nice extra info PD & Nancy  . The laws of physics stopped these 3 from rotating any further I think!  |

They're still pretty close to standard, by the looks. The key is to put them in the 2x2 as straight as possible on the reverse, and see how far round the Queen's head is. There's a couple of (way overpriced) 2005 MOR dollars on ebay that have the rotation I'm looking for to get a 1 o'clock coin http://www.ebay.com/itm/Australian-...t_2648wt_907I test all the 2001's I find by putting my fingers on the O of Federation and O of Dollar and twirl them. The challenge is when coins are for sale on auction sites and suchlike, as sometimes they're not holdered straight, and you need to guesstimate the rotation..... |

(see the letters E and A on the comparison coin on the left vs rotation on right). Looking, looking, looking ....
