RAD change New Member Australia 44 Posts	Posted 03/31/2012 01:14 am Hi everyone, I've only been playing with circulated coins for about 2 1/2 weeks, but am soooo excited by my first few finds. Thursdays small handful of change from shopping and paying bills was brilliant (literally!) giving me shiny new 2011 50c and 20c coins, a shiny 2010 5c, a 2005 $1 Dancing Man (no hat Cud,tho), and a 1984 dollar which turned out to be a rabbit ears with spew roo! As I admired the 2010 5c coin, I realized the Queen's nose didn't look quite right, so with an 8x loupe I took a close look, and dang if there wasn't a small Cud there. I guess HM would be none too pleased about it, but I'm practically bouncing off the walls with excitement over it. I'm sure it is a Cud, yes please, pretty please, tell me it is? I've been learning such a lot from all the posts and photos in this forum. I think it was Yass who has photos of the rabbit ears coin, and thanks to nancyc and her photos, I also found my first PDL. It's a true goldmine for beginners and I am so appreciative. javascript:insertsmilie('') My steep learning curve has also included figuring out how to take photos of coins, but I'm happy with what I've done - if only I can get them to upload properly! Fingers crossed... Report this Post to the Staff

Let's hope your $1 is not just beginner's luck and may you find many more. Photos are excellent for a first attempt. I find inside a window with indirect daylight works well. Try different camera angles and coin orientation -that can make a big difference to the end result. Jeff Report this Post to the Staff

mrcruise Pillar of the Community Australia 552 Posts	Posted 03/31/2012 08:47 am Nice finds Most of your Errors are common but to find them all together is a bonus Rarest would have to be the 1984 $1 rabbit ears especially in the condition you have found it which still seems to have some lustre. These are particularly rare in higher grades. Overall nice going Report this Post to the Staff

RAD change New Member Australia 44 Posts	Posted 03/31/2012 11:43 pm @nancyc - Oops! PDL is my shortspeak for Planchet/Die crack/Lamination flaws. It could also refer to the PuDdLe my brain is in from reading so much info in so short a time, but I think I'll stick to the first explanation. What I found was a Pl flaw, yes?
