Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 04/25/2008 03:19 am Have a look through the Aust Error threads, you'll find some links to pictures of Bunny ears. Try here: http://www.coincommunity.org/galler...hp?pos=-3373 Mules are year 2000 $1 Mob of roo coins that were accidentally minted using a 10¢ die for the obverse (Queen) side. The effigy is slightly smaller and another feature is a second rim on part or all of the Obv. They usually bring somewhere around the $200 mark for a well used one & from there the price goes up substantially for better condition coins. A few higher grade ones I've seen on ebay went for $600 - $800. A top grade coin would be well into thousands. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16849 Posts	Posted 04/25/2008 03:51 am When an Australian forum member talks about "mules" these days, they're usually referring to the 2000 $1/10¢ mule Nancy describes. But "mule" is a generic term, meaning a coin produced from two dies belonging to two different coins, not intended to be used together. There are other "mules" in the Australian series. The most famous is the 1916 Australian halfpenny / Indian quarter anna mule (Australia KM# 30), while there has been much debate on this and other forums over whether or not the 2005 proof mob'o'roos dollar (struck with the wrong date) qualifies as a "mule". Other famous world mules are the undated (1967) New Zealand 2¢ / Bahama Islands 5¢ mule (New Zealand KM# 33) and the USA quarter / Sacagawea mule. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 04/25/2008 08:12 am Can't think of another link at present. That one should have been OK, but I had a look, it's a bit odd. This picture is from that site, belongs to CCF member 'Yass'. You might not yet have access to the CCF gallery. Have a look at the ears of the smallest roo. There's a Cud or blob behind them, making them resemble rabbit ears. https://goccf.com/t/11144 https://goccf.com/t/16083 Hopefully you can view these. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
