1942-I Halfpenny With Big Planchet Defect

Hey KurtS, Another good find.

You're developing into an expert on Aussie coins.

Nice pick up Kurt, the Rennicks variety book lists them as ref A36A Rare, long denticles reverse.
I do not have any figures of how many 42I rev D were actually minted though, nor further information than the link you provided above.
Nice and interesting lamination error on the reverse of yours though .

I have started some photo albums in members gallery with a lot of Half penny varieties and errors and another with some penny varieties and errors.
I Have the 42I rev D and also a obv lamination flaw and a rev C No I MM Half penny pictured there.
Maybe of interest to fellow collectors to take a look, all comments welcome and would appreciate any mistakes to be pointed out.
Don't ask for much do I
Have a good day all,
Mark.

Yes agree about lamination errors, though extensive ones, like yours, are a little harder to find.
The galleries are on the left hand column of this page, under Stuff for members.

gnome, what planchet flaws have you got so far? I've got quite a lot from 20¢ up to $2. Might be able to help you out with your type set.

It appears they're not so easily found in 5¢ & 10¢ though.

I've been organising all my errors recently, & all my planchet type 'errors' are in one place at present, just waiting for the final sorting out. The majotiy are cracks straight across the coin.

I think they are called lamination flaws, but not 100% sure about that.

I might post a list if anyone's interested.

Kurt, as to the leg fill on the KG, I have 5 of the rev D coins, and all bar 1 seem to have varying degrees of fills to that leg. One however has an interesting blob high between the KG.
Here's some pics.

That second coin Kurt seems to be what could be considered normal. In comparison to my 42I C rev coins, it seems the same.
It's straight and well defined. You may have come across something here Kurt. I love this part of collecting coins, I know it's only minor, but very interesting.
