livingdinasaur Pillar of the Community United States 1571 Posts	Posted 10/27/2008 12:22 am Gnome, that looks like a Cud, a very large Cud. It is caused by a piece of the die having broken away, and whenn the dies come together, tha portion with the missing piece has no resistance to the Hammers downpward stroke, causung a sag. the reverse of the coin shopwn shoukld have a "sunken" area that corresponds.

markn Pillar of the Community Australia 1295 Posts	Posted 11/03/2008 2:37 pm Dinasaur, No that's an indent, caused when the previous planchet fails to leave the press before the next one is struck leading to an impression of the first planchet on the second. There's a spectacular one discussed in my blog here: http://www.australian-threepence.co...-errors.html Report this Post to the Staff
my2cents Valued Member Australia 68 Posts	Posted 03/31/2009 06:11 am In the second page of this thread QldSandy refers to a; Quote: 2001 - Federation 50 and Fat 50 coin What exactly is this variation? Report this Post to the Staff
Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 03/31/2009 6:54 pm I think the "Fat 50" is when the Reverse of the 2001 Federation 50¢ had some pretty severe doubling, making the 50 appear fat. Pretty severe doubling of the legend in particular on the Obverse can also be found. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
spg1 Valued Member Australia 363 Posts	Posted 03/31/2009 8:07 pm Also look for the VERY RARE 2000 $1/10c mule coin. Very low mintage. Report this Post to the Staff
my2cents Valued Member Australia 68 Posts	Posted 04/01/2009 07:15 am Thanks nancy, I hadn't heard of these before Report this Post to the Staff
QldSandy Valued Member Australia 61 Posts	Posted 04/01/2009 5:41 pm My2cents, Below are 2 images for you to compare. Some of the "Fat 50's" show much clearer (as in defined) doubling than this one, and they seem to be reasonably plentiful from my searching. Cheers. Report this Post to the Staff
my2cents Valued Member Australia 68 Posts	Posted 04/02/2009 01:39 am Thanks for the pics sandy, I just looked through a bunch of federation 50's but no luck in finding a fat one yet. Great to know of another error/variety though, who knows how many I've passed on without checking for them... Report this Post to the Staff
Fulvio New Member Australia 14 Posts	Posted 01/06/2010 10:10 pm The Fat 5's do get a lot "fatter" than that. To the point that there is no separation at all on the right side of the 5. Just one big blob. The doubling also extends over much of the rest of the coin, particularly up the left side. Its been a couple of years since I did a search (cataracts are bad things for coin collectors), but they were really easy to find at the time. Well over a quarter of coins had doubling, and Fat 5's were well represented. Perhaps they've all been stashed away in recent years? Report this Post to the Staff
RareSov Valued Member Australia 60 Posts	Posted 01/08/2010 06:56 am The first coin is Broadstruck This is a coin which is struck out of the collar and has spread, however the definition as recognised by the ANA and graders such as NGC is that the coin detail must be visible. As soon as you lose detail off the edge, the coin is now defined as "Off Centre" not broadstruck. Example of a broadstruck, one of my precious :) yes, thats MS66 ! http://coins.www.collectors-society...356-001O.jpg Report this Post to the Staff
RareSov Valued Member Australia 60 Posts	Posted 01/08/2010 06:58 am PS if anyone has $1 or $2 errors for sale let me know. I'd like a $1 tilted collar, double strike, off centre or double sided mule. My $1 set is already quite complete of error types including the proof mule and the 10c mule As for $2 I need anything except Broadstruck and blank, thats as much as I have so far Edited by RareSov 01/08/2010 06:59 am Report this Post to the Staff
Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 01/08/2010 3:27 pm I have just 1 x $1 tilted collar and also 2 x $2 coins, both with a die crack on the rev, (1.rim to elder's head) (2. crack through grass tree to rim, I think), but they're my babies and not for sale. Sorry! life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
Agosos Valued Member Australia 155 Posts	Posted 02/02/2010 06:53 am Heres a pick of a 2005 50c rememberance Cud,out of a stack of 14 coins I found 4!!Nice and easy to spot to. http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/.../2005CUD.jpg left coin is the Cud. Report this Post to the Staff
Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 02/02/2010 4:21 pm RE the 2005 50¢ remembrance coin, look for a Cud on the Soldiers helmet & left elbow, and on the front of the neck of the lady 2nd from right. There are also some that have extra metal in parts of the rev legend. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
Agosos Valued Member Australia 155 Posts	Posted 02/06/2010 03:01 am What happened at the mint this year that caused so many Cuds? Report this Post to the Staff
