Canberra = all claws pointed Perth= Blunt 1st right claw. As far as I was aware the only no sd is the 1981. There may be others but I am unaware of them. sd  No sd  Edited by trout1105

There Is indeed a 1981 no SD initial but also for 1966, 67, 68 and some cases of 1973. I personally have 66, 67 and 81. I think that bjw has a 1973. If you search for no SD with the search function I'm fairly sure it has been discussed before and there is some decent info there

Also Perth 2c coins tend to have fishtailing on obverse legend

I have only seen a couple go on ebay before but they dont seem to be worth too much. They are very hard to find though. |

Yes you can pick up 1966 + 1967 + 1981 fairly cheap on ebay but the 1968 No SD quite expensive |

I have had/had over 100 1968 2c in my possession and I am yet to get a no SD. A few have been close being very weakly struck initials. I think these would have to be worth much more than the variety on more common dates.

You quite right enworb...most 1968 items listed on ebay as 'No SD' as actually just weak strikes and a good loupe will show the otlines on the SD clearly. The true 1968 coins missing SD tend to also have missing lizard foot to the left of the SD |

I have also noticed a weak or missing foot to the left of the initials.
