pubbrad New Member Australia 27 Posts	Posted 04/19/2013 07:47 am Hello and thank you for your help, I was told that the Mule $1 had a smaller queens head, I think this does, any help would be great :-) Report this Post to the Staff

pubbrad New Member Australia 27 Posts	Posted 04/19/2013 09:38 am My Wife has just noticed the thickness of the coin is definitely thicker only where the double rim is present, we had a normal $1 coin from the year 2000 to go by, hope this helps Report this Post to the Staff

The coin you have imaged appears to be a slight off centre strike 2000 $1. Measure with a Dial Caliper and compare with 10c Obverse. From tip of Crown to base of neck. Report this Post to the Staff

pubbrad New Member Australia 27 Posts	Posted 04/21/2013 03:24 am so both of these 2 coins are from the year 2000, the left one is normal, the right one is this so called slight off centre strike 2000 $1, can I please ask, why would the off centre strike be a thicker coin than the normal?

enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 04/21/2013 04:47 am Its possible that it has been though a dryer which often makes coins thicker than normal. It definitely not a mule though. Report this Post to the Staff
Direct Coins CCF Sponsor Australia 9 Posts	Posted 04/22/2013 4:44 pm Hi Brad, I was lucky enough to find a mule in my change about 5 years ago. The coin pictured could possible be a mule. It does have a double rim at the bottom which is a good indication aswell. Report this Post to the Staff
appleangel07 Pillar of the Community Australia 1607 Posts	Posted 04/22/2013 6:20 pm Sorry Brad, but it's not a mule, the obverse is too big as in an ordinary $1 obverse,not a 10 cent obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
The Unicorn Pillar of the Community Australia 750 Posts	Posted 04/22/2013 8:50 pm Sorry pubbrad, I think it's just a misaligned strike. If you measure one line across the total coin. (using the image in paint .... the length of the line shown at the bottom right of the screen) It comes to 186. Then do a line from the top of the A in Elizabeth to the second A in Australia. It comes to 167. Divide 167 by 186 and you get .8978 A mule will be around .82 to .83 The higher resolution image you have the more accurate the measurement. eg: A normal 2000 in high res 1049/1169 giving .8973 Report this Post to the Staff
The Unicorn Pillar of the Community Australia 750 Posts	Posted 04/22/2013 8:54 pm PS: Use a scanned image where possible so there is no angle in the image. (Or a photo from directly above). Don't worry, I've seen so many 2000's and not at mule yet. But I haven't given up looking! Report this Post to the Staff
