Agosos Valued Member Australia 155 Posts	Posted 07/16/2010 08:35 am 20 bucks worth of 2c pieces kindly saved for me by my local bank.Found a few nicely toned coins in there,heres my favorite(it was a toss up between this one and a nice smokey gray,but that was hard to scan) Also,in the past year I rekon I've searched through over 100 bucks worth of coppers and have found a total of 4 1968s,in this bag I found 11 When I was carding them up,this one grabbed my attention,not sure if its worth noting,but none of the other 1968s I own have a queen angled like this, Notice the queen on the right is tilted back,just thought I'd share it and see what you guys had to say about it. Then there is this one,my son pointed it out,I'm not sure if its anything,the scan doesn't pick it up to well but the 3 holes kind of look like air bubbles that have popped on the surface of the coin Probably nothing special but worth sharing anyway,enjoy Report this Post to the Staff

Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 07/16/2010 6:50 pm Hey Ag, great pick up with the one you called angled. They are usually termed 'Upset' and most often are considered to be a Major error from the Mint. Either way, it's a GREAT find! I can't remember ever hearing about an Upset 2¢ coin, but then again my memory is a shocker. I'm sure others will be along soon to congratulate you. Now I'll have to get out my 2¢ and check them all, probably about 10K. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Edited by Nevol 07/16/2010 6:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff
appleangel07 Pillar of the Community Australia 1607 Posts	Posted 07/17/2010 01:18 am Very nice finds, the upset/die rotation is rotated about 315% if I'm not mistaken. Does the 68 on the left have the SD ? . Report this Post to the Staff
Agosos Valued Member Australia 155 Posts	Posted 07/18/2010 05:57 am Oh, happy days!I noticed some of the bank bags were from state bank,I havent seen a state bank around here for years,do they even exist any more? I plan on separating my stash into mints,(i have them separated into years already)so that will give me a chance to check out some other years for "upsets" The initials are there,you can just make them out,a shame I know,the blue coin and the error make up for it though Report this Post to the Staff
