    I saw a post about rare 20 cent coins so I went through my change looking for will and kate. Found 0.

    Then I saw info about the wavy 20 cent. Went through my change and found this.

    You went looking for will and Kate and found this! I would swap you a mint roll of will and Kate's 20c coins in a heart beat! The wavy is a far better score congrats however are you able to take a vertical picture of the wave section close up?

    This is the best I can do with my phone.

    In my change I only had 2 1966 coins. Lucky I got it. :)
