I have to make a post about a coin I just found today.....
I finally found my second incuse 50c!
Some of you will know that I have been looking for my second one of these for quite a while, and I have looked through a LOT of coins.
Now I need to decide:
Do I move on to $1 coins and look for a mule, or stick with 50c and keep looking for incuse and rotated ones.
I am leaning towards sticking with 50c, but a mule would be nice to find.....

The 50 cents and the $1 Aussie coins are the most prolific as far as variety and errors go.
I have these sets in 2 large albums and I still have only scratched the surface with them.
Whichever way you go it will be fun because of the sheer number of different coins and mint marks ($1 coins) that are out there, Add the silver proof coins and it is quite an interesting lot of coins to complete a set
Congratulations on the find
:dance2:
Why not go for both. Say, do a $1,000.00 worth of 50c pieces then a $1,000.00 worth of $1 coins.
Please Note: I have looked through 2.3 million $1 coins for 39 Mules. Need I say more.

That is a staggering amout of coins to look through, Then again it is also a staggering amount of mules found . :good:
:wavemulticolor:
Thats $700 every day for the last 9 years since the mule was released. That is a lot of coin! More than i could handle anyway.
At my peak in looking through $1 coins for mules, I would bring home anywhere between 2000 and 2700 coins, dependant on the spare change that I could find about the place.
However, because of banks and changover of staff, I have not done any serious searching now since February last year.
Only because the bank(s) wanted to charge 1% for change over of coins.
I wish I could get back into it again but other things on my mind at present.
Getting back on track. I did purchase a Incuse 50c piece off a former forum member for an undisclosed amount and then three days later, found one that cost me nothing. All up I now have three incuses.
Yep enworb, I still have my daily search records still on my computer.
Other members of this forum know of one gent who has found in excess of 200 mules. No names, no packdrill..........
I now have 9 incuse coins :good:
ALL ebay noodled, it costs me about $20 to drive into town and back and the average cost of these has been about $30.
It may seem like a lazy way of getting these but for an extra $10 I get a winner every time :grin: without having to dump thousands of coins back at the bank:yahoo:
Nice, I recently picked up a second incused 50c as well in change. Both within a week of each other.
I wasnt doubting you goldseeker, just marvelling at the dedication. I know of the person you speak of who has found over $200, i believe thats where my example came from.
Do you live in Perth or elsewhere?
I dont noodle nearly as much as I did but for a while I was doing about $1000 a day of silver coins. I really cant be bothered anymore and have more fun searching for other bargains elsewhere. I still have the occasional noodle but its probably only $500 a fortnight now.
Im really glad for ozcoins because i know he has been searching large amounts for a while now looking for these and has had the worst luck.
Congrats ozcoins! :yahoo: It's taken a while, but you got there. :winkextra:
I still don't have an incuse. Like Goldseeker, I also haven't noodled for some time.
Congratulations.:biggrin:
Now for number three!
I have found quite a few incused but, still to luck a mule.

I was leaning towards sticking with 50c, because I want to find a couple more incuse, and I like finding the 2010 rotated ones too, but a mule would be good to find too.
I might alternate as has been suggested to me.
The armagard bags of 50c are $200, how much does a bag of $1 coins contain?
$1000 for $1 bags at CBA .
I have found quite a few incused but have found 3 times as many rotated dies so keep up with the fifties as surely a rotated is not far away. In terms of mules I have gone through about 100 000 dollars coins and nothing, statistically, based on 39 mules in 2.2 million coins I should be getting close to finding my second.No luck but still hoping.
Enworb: I live in the "four seasons state in day" of Victoria, St Albans to be precise. I used to get a lot of coins from Crown but as they have gone virually coinless, I have given up.
