I'm not sure if anyone has found anything similar and am wondering if anyone knows their rarity. It's a 1981 20 cent with a decent impression of the reverse on the obverse! (hope that made sense, see photos below.) Thanks, Nik. Report this Post to the Staff

Hercules Valued Member Australia 248 Posts	Posted 09/11/2016 09:14 am I found a 20c coin a while ago which was distorted around the base of the 2. Because it was dated 1966, I knew that someone had tried to create a fake "wavy". Report this Post to the Staff
