Just going through some coins and found this. Is it a wavy 2, or is it bashed. I thought that because the line above the bit of the number 2 follows the wave that it was.  |

I am definitely not an authority on these - perhaps you could check the pictures on this page: http://www.triton.vg/20-66.html It says the wave above the base of the 2 takes on the same curvature. |

Big close ups are good, but can you post a picture of the whole reverse? It looks close, but I am not sure the wave above is quite right.

I have left my camera card in my computer at work. Will have to wait until 2mrw for the full size picture. Exciting though  Bit like waiting for the result from a photo finish when you only have the bet on for the win! (can you tell I work in a gambling / racing industry?) |

I suspect not. It doesn't look quite right to me. Below is an image of 1 I got from circulating coins. Cheers.  |

I actually look for these in coin boxes at shops here in California.
If I found that, it would have gotten my attention too. But, the curve doesn't seen pronounced enough.

My humble opinion is that it's NOT a wavy. The line of the wave has no curve.  But keep looking, you never know when one will turn up.  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

Does this help? Because it is quite well worn it only shows from a certain angle with the right light.  |

Sadly, I still think the wave doesn't have the right amount of curve in it. Check the 'reflection' of the wave in Qld Sandy's pic above. I've got 2 x well worn wavy's (had to buy them)and the curve in the wave is clearly noticeable.  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

I don't believe it is a wavy 20 cent. The curve is simply not right. The one here has a 'V' indentation. It certainly makes you look twice though.

so, either a faked wave or a freak bash/mint strike... either way - I have it in a 2x2" and will continue looking . looking just now actually through $60 of 20c's. OCD can be controlled, but only to an extent! lol

G'day, I think Dibby might have discovered a new Variety:
"the Dibby depression"; or
"the V-wave"...

Go get a big bag of coins from the bank and you will feel better. If not, at least your eyes will be tired and you can go lie down somewhere nice. Beautiful day here today in Melbourne. See, all sorts of good advice here |

What do you mean bag - bag of rolls - or bag of loose coins? I got all the 20c from the local bank last week - they could only spare me $20 of them! Will go up again on Wednesday. As for the weather it is raining here. http://www.rosebay.tased.edu.au/camera.htm |
