OzLeigh Valued Member Australia 215 Posts	Posted 09/27/2021 07:37 am Hello, For a while now I have been getting $1 coins from banks and looking through them for errors and such and am wondering why 1985 rabbit ears are impossible to find while all other years relatively easy? Maybe someone here has actually found one or are they a myth. Thank you Report this Post to the Staff

Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 09/27/2021 10:27 pm The 1985 Rabbits are extremely hard to find. I've only seen images of about 3-4, so scarce as hens' teeth. I have this one, but I bought it. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff

unknow_n New Member Australia 8 Posts	Posted 10/01/2021 2:02 pm Hi All, Im new to collecting and am located in SYD. Is this really a thing to collect the different years of rabbit ear error $1 coins? If so, are they worth much as I have a 2015/16/2*19. Report this Post to the Staff

crab eater Pillar of the Community Australia 625 Posts	Posted 10/02/2021 12:53 am Thanks coaster for letting me know about the 1985 $1 rabbit ear on ebay, put in an offer of $25 and was hastily declined. Rough looking coin for $100. Think I will keep noodling trying to snare one that way. Edited by crab eater 10/02/2021 12:54 am Report this Post to the Staff
crab eater Pillar of the Community Australia 625 Posts	Posted 10/04/2021 04:02 am Crossed my mind that a few rabbit ears might be still hidden in their burrows (Mint rolls). Bought a 1985 $1 H/T roll a month or so ago, yet too poor to crack it open and have a look for one. How much would an uncirculated one fetch? Report this Post to the Staff
Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 10/09/2021 03:02 am Not sure - it's the same design and is reasonably obtainable in most other years. A mystery. Report this Post to the Staff
