Nice Barcelona Squire! The 50c might not be too bad. Check for Cuds along bottom of shield and along roos back. With 100 to choose from you're sure to find some UNC's too! |

They were just the couple of spots I've found them on the 2 x 2012 Cud coins I have so far. Here's some pics   |

Yay Jeff!  They are so hard to find. How many is that? |

... great to see that they are still out there Jeff Since finding mine (a long time ago), I have not found another. So according to the statistics of my collecting this 2010 "twist top" is on par with the "wavy" in terms of scarcity. It is certainly a lot more scarce than the "incuse millennium". PS. I have been noodling since mid-2011 Squire Edited by Squire Wilson

How many is that? That is my third one -more to come, he says with fingers crossed. I have found quite a few more wavey 2. But...I was noodling and looking for them well before 2010. Maybe the 2010 50¢ upsets will catch up in time. Jeff |

Three is an excellent score! Every time I get a near unc 2010 obverse I spin it in hope that ...... nah, perhaps the next one. I think your wavy record would likely be exactly that ..... the record. (Coming from someone yet to find one  .... but I will  all luck of the draw). |

A respectable ramshead is always welcome here.  And he brought along some neat and tidy friends to keep him company.   The pick of the crop from $440 of 50¢ this week. Jeff |

The 1973 looks much better than most in circulation.

Yes, quite pleasing to find some decent condition early years. 1973 is low mintage and, at 40 years old, not many are very nice. 1979 and 1980 double bars are also uncommon in decent condition.

Did $450 of 20¢ coins this week and this was the standout...   I've had a good run with upsets recently. Jeff |

Actually noodled a couple of weeks ago, I put it straight into a 2x2 and promptly forgot all about it! Went to the big smoke and to the casino. I stuck $50.00 into a pokey machine, and pressed the collect button. Out popped 50 $1.00 coins. I sorted them, put the ones I didn't want back into the machine and pressed the collect button again. And had the occasional bet. For about 3 hours. Anyhoo, the prize was this:  |

Nice find!  I see some interesting features on it. Left side, a Cud in the vertical bars and on the right side, a die crack from the rim to the point of the design as indicated by the green/yellow arrows.  Two more possible Die Cracks as indicated by the red/yellow arrows.  Please confirm if the features I point out are present.  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved
