It's a little difficult to see, but I'd say you've got an interesting group of Australian error threepences there. I can't provide values, but no doubt someone else might be prepared to have a stab at doing so.
Individual close up pictures would help a lot.

Hello. Thankyou for looking. Would you mind also having a look at the unidentified section in the posts. I did put a lot of pictures (taken on my mobile) until I got the scanner to work. The last picture post is clearest. Sorry me and technology aren't bestfriends. Veronica

Interesting...that blank side clearly has a rim  Maybe somebody can help you figure that one out? I didn't know Dolly was in Australia, but judging from those 2x2s I would guess that's the case. I'm not Australian, but  all the same. There sure is a growing "mob of Aussies" here  |

Those errors are rather uncommon so I would highly recommend you to do a through search of price list on ebay.com and see the recent market price, assuming if you are going to sell them. I'm sure that your dad would have kept more uncommon coins so you might be expecting some sort of treasure. Do post more photos and if possible, in higher resolution. This can be done by increasing the DPI on your scanner. Most of the newer scanners are capable of scanning in higher resolution. |

Hello. Thankyou for your feedback. I will try to improve the picture quality. Here is a 1942 I found with the head coming through on the roo. I'm not sure if this picture will be clear. Veronica

Hello. Thankyou. What is a strike through. My dad's coins were his life. His was an old age pensioner and never parted with many. He only sold some of his coins whne times were tough. I think he paid for his funeral by selling some beforehe died. Veronica. Here is another picture - of a 1946 coin with a cut in it http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/...t=1212882245http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/..._pics/08-06-2008100330AM.jpg?t=1212883552 sorry I loaded the wrong pick. I will post another with the cut Edited by Dolly

I love mis-strike errors, you have 2 three pence misstrikes, I have a sixpence misstrike, It is when you can see an extra bit of metal with nothing on it on the side, the thing that strikes the coin misses the center of it. Heres mine :   Edited by Spedward
