Williamsonj320 Pillar of the Community United States 538 Posts	Posted 07/11/2012 12:29 am I think it's crying. Sorry I can't be more help, new to world coins. Would be interesting to find out if this is ~~stone~~ some sort of error or variety (still unsure of the difference) Do you have a normal half to compare it to?

Sorry I can't be more help, new to world coins. Would be interesting to find out if this is stone some sort of error or variety (still unsure of the difference) Do you have a normal half to compare it to? yeah it does look like it's crying. It's all good mate to the other side Yeah I have others and that's why I've kept him as it has funny looking raised bits behind the emu's head that makes it look like a double bar but this is 1983 and I think double bars are 66,79 & 80 but there could be more. Yeah no idea what to make of it apple Report this Post to the Staff
Williamsonj320 Pillar of the Community United States 538 Posts	Posted 07/11/2012 01:16 am Very intriguing, I wonder if anyone else has seen this then. I love finding little oddities like this. I found a US State Quarter that appears to have a grease filled due error on the first 'T' in trust but the research I did on that only saw that error on a different coin from that series. I should post it here to get a better opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

banknotelover Valued Member Australia 218 Posts	Posted 07/11/2012 02:34 am How do you guys get such a good image ? What sort of scanner you use to get such a high resolution ? I'm looking to get one, maybe a multi function with printer? Report this Post to the Staff
Ausjack Pillar of the Community Australia 841 Posts	Posted 07/11/2012 03:28 am sorry mate, can't help you with scanners as my pic's are taken with an old fujifilm finepix s5800 on super macro under a fluro without a stand or anything so pretty standard setup and that's why my pic's are always of such high quality But honestly I find coins really hard to capture a good image as some reflect light back into the camera Have a look at the taking pic's posts and you might get some good ideas about lighting and simple little things like cutting the top and bottom out of a milk bottle (or what ever takes your fancy) as a stand to take pic's thanks for the help team 'cause I know it's hard to make comment on a pic so I'll have to get a few people to have a look next time I'm near a dealer to see what others think and hopefully I might have a 1983 double bar Report this Post to the Staff
