SallyG Valued Member Australia 383 Posts	Posted 10/29/2022 8:59 pm I know the right rear leg of the third or middle kangaroo is not very prominent on most MoR coins. Usually very subtle but tilting the coin can show the leg if it's hard to see front on. Are there any records of coins without the leg or would it be more likely that it was a weak strike and the leg was not defined properly? I have a 2015 MoR coin and no matter which way I tilting it, I cannot see that leg. I've tried photographing it but can't get a clear picture. I will try to post the best that I could get. Anyone know about coins without a leg? Are they real or just poorly struck or worn coins? Report this Post to the Staff

I pulled over 100 of them from circulation back in 2015/16 in higher grades. Edited by MachinMachinMan 10/29/2022 10:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
