Look at this ebay seller selling a so called "error" coin. Maybe I'm blind but I don't see anything wrong with the "error" on teh queens head. This seller can't get a bid for these coins.

it is an upset error.
meaning a die has spun and both sides of the coin are no longer at the same angle to each other.

It depends on grade etc. I have a number of these that make an almost complete clock face set. Strange it happened mostly to this coin.

Several hundred dollars in unc; down to about $20 in fine. Much higher for upsets at 6 o'clock as they are tough to find and impressive. Upsets at 11 o'clock sre the hardest to find if you are putting together a clockface.

I've heard about people "making a clockface", but never seen the finished product, until now:
I'm impressed !

Goldseeker on the abco has created a number of clockfaces. He has also included the rabbits in amongst one of them.
I understand that he is short 20 or so from making a 360 degree clockface.

Are you sure 4 o'clock and 5 o'clock are different? They look the same.

I've seen Goldy claim this a couple of times but given that 1 degree of upset is only about 0.2mm of circumference on a 25mm dollar coin he must have some remarkably accurate measuring equipment to be able to measure that closely. This is made especially more difficult as setting a datum on a worn dollar coin would be very tricky indeed. 'eyeballing' it might seem ok but when you're talking 0.2mm per degree you don't need to be out by much!
