Concerned Valued Member Australia 65 Posts	Posted 09/22/2011 05:18 am I was looking through my change bowl for the 2008 20c gap I read about in another post and found this instead. Do you guys think it is really a wavy? Edited by Concerned 09/22/2011 05:53 am Report this Post to the Staff

floridapalms Valued Member Australia 85 Posts	Posted 09/22/2011 08:50 am Looks like one but something about it doesn't look right Take it to a specialist coin dealer to get appraisal,an ANDA dealer would be where I would take it Hope it is real,good find Concerned Report this Post to the Staff

Yass Pillar of the Community Australia 652 Posts	Posted 09/22/2011 8:29 pm Concerned, I agree with floridapalms. It is close, but hard to determine with accuracuy from the photo. I have attached a link to Triton's site. It shows a more pronounced wavy effect. For your sake I hope it is. http://triton.vg/20-66.html Check the gap between platypus and whisker. It needs to be a London mint for starters. Report this Post to the Staff
steve - Oz 50c man Valued Member Australia 490 Posts	Posted 09/22/2011 8:48 pm looks to be the real deal to me, but as Yass and others have said, hard to say from photos. Agree with suggestions to get a dealer to take a peek. Report this Post to the Staff
Concerned Valued Member Australia 65 Posts	Posted 09/23/2011 02:17 am Thanks everyone. I've been taking photo's with my microscope cause it's usb so the photo's go straight to my computer. It's throwing rough light though which I don;t think is helping the photo's any. I'll try taking with a camera in future or scanning. Thanks for link Yass. I'll pop this away and have someone look at it then :-) Thanks again Report this Post to the Staff
Gecko Valued Member Australia 278 Posts	Posted 09/23/2011 04:30 am I found one the same as that and was told by a coin shop it wasnt one. I hope for your sakes it is! But then on the other hand I hope it isn't as I put it back into circulation.... Fingers crossed for you. Report this Post to the Staff
floridapalms Valued Member Australia 85 Posts	Posted 09/23/2011 08:44 am Yass great link to Triton page Concerned the USB microscope is a good tool but I think too much detail can confuse,the wavy 66s I have seen by eyesight are immediately seen as genuine wavys Report this Post to the Staff
dibby33 Valued Member Australia 465 Posts	Posted 09/24/2011 05:13 am I would say yes, barring a forgery. I will post pictures of the two that I have found later today. I have just set up a rig for a macro usb webcam :-) Step one of full noddle automation! A long way to go.... Report this Post to the Staff
Concerned Valued Member Australia 65 Posts	Posted 09/25/2011 12:04 am EEK. I put it away to have some one look at it. If it is one Gecko I'll put a spoiler alert out so you don't have to read it! Foridapalms. I agree with the micro - I find it makes the coins look weird as well and have a blueish sheen to them. Back to the camera for me. Dibby33 - I'd love to see your images Thanks guys!

dibby33 Valued Member Australia 465 Posts	Posted 09/25/2011 01:50 am I shall post some tomorrow. My wife spotted my wood working skills last night and sent me into the garden to make some raised garden beds for beside stairs for the deck. Took me 20min (sans kids) to make the rig and is going to take me about 3 weekends to do these beds! Report this Post to the Staff
