Hi guys. I was wandering if anyone knows generally how many of these coins are out there? I've have found quite a few of the 2008 coin but only have one from this year. Cheers

I have 'gaps' occurring on the following years of 20c, and can probably supply images if you want to see them, just let me know:
1966
1967
1981
1997
1998
2000
2005
2008
I am aware of these other years possibly having gaps as well, but I don't know whether I have them or not, but do know I don't have images.
1980
1999
2012
2013

I s'pose I have a fair few. I really love any error coins and find it very hard not to hoard them.

A couple of pics of wave gaps the 20c - looks like I only mostly took close ups when I was playing around with these a while ago. 1999 20c  1974 20c  Pedro |

A couple more wave gaps: 2000 20c  1971 20c  Not sure on the older years whether wear and tear affects the gaps at all. Pedro |

Normally, with a fully struck up 20c coin, there is only ONE wave line that weaves it's way across the whole coin. The only places where the wave line is hidden, is inder the '20'.
Error or die variation in this case: I am not sure which.

If I'm looking at the right point I think this 1999 has a gap. I'll try to get a better shot later - the camera battery has just died ?  |

The wave gap on the 1999 20c does seem to be more common as I have found a few of them (significantly more than for other years).
I would estimate I have looked at perhaps $200 - $300 worth of 20c pieces (not exactly a huge sample) searching for wave gaps and have been surprised at the number of years where I have found what appear to be gap examples. Certainly far more than I had expected.
