Well, after looking at many coins I haven't come across any that do not have the egg? Does anyone have one? Do they exist? Cheers Simon. Report this Post to the Staff

Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 08/23/2009 03:05 am G'day, I do not claim to have made an exhaustive study of 1959 florins. When I was first made aware of the egg, I had the impression that the egg was a variety. In some context or other, I described it as a variety, and someone else corrected me, saying that all 1959 florins have the egg. Since then, a few years ago, I've looked closely at every 1959 florin that has passed my way, including pics on the 'net. To date, they've all had eggs. Although I must say that it is difficult to be sure with some pics. If any one can show me an egg-less variety, I'll be grateful to be informed. Peter in Darwin Report this Post to the Staff
wwwww Pillar of the Community Australia 541 Posts	Posted 08/23/2009 03:35 am I call it a blob, though I suppose egg is better than what I've heard some others call it. ;) The business strikes have it, the proofs do not. Report this Post to the Staff
