One of the people on the Oztion http://www.oztion.com.au/Community/...n&tid=245061coin forum found a missing toe on the 2007 platypus. Going through my stash of 2007 20c I found something similar on the other foot - half missing and short toes. Anyone else have a short toes?   Edited by Learjet

I've noticed these short toes on quite a few 2007 20¢. I haven't checked if they were thin 7 or thick 7 coins though. When 2007 20¢ first started showing up, I found many coins with a lot of the outside 'toe'of the left foot almost missing, just a couple little 'knobs' left, see below. I refer to it as skeleton claw. It occurs on both thin 7 & thick 7 coins.  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

All the 'short toe' coins I kept are thin 7.
Anyone else found any 'skeleton claw'?

G'day,
so am I looking for six varieties -
thick or thin (2);
each coupled with short, skeletal, or normal toes (3) ?
2x3=6

No, have not found any more skeleton claws nancy  other than the one you sent me  How many have you got? I posted a pic of your coin on a oztion thread today, hope you don't mind. I cropped it up so only to show the error. Was purely to help out an old chat buddy, so she could verify what she had, and sent credits your way  |

farnby, no worries, post away.  I have: 11 x Short toes all thin 7 11 x Skeleton claw thin 7 + 2 at lesser stages (3 of 11 given away) 1 x Skeleton claw thick 7 + 8 at lesser stages By the way, Skeleton Claw also occurs in earlier years, from 2001 - 2006, but not as dramatically as 2007. A couple 2005 examples I have are pretty close. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

So what is everyone's figures on the Thin Thick ratio? I'm currently 60% thin to 40 % thick varieties, from roughly 200 looked at.
I know of at least 1 collector who is getting much larger quantities of thick type compared to thin at the moment.
Anyone else notice this recently?

60% thin to 40 % thick varieties sounds about right to me. I haven't kept count lately, but thin do slighly outnumber thick.
