Pretty insignificant I know, but I was hard up! :angel:
I've had this one for a while, it has what resembles silver frost in the lower half of the reverse, seen quite a few like it from different years, never bothered to ask about it before as I assumed it was caused by a worn die:

taken from the bottom and angled up.

On some 10c coins, can't remember the years, the reverse is nearly 'covered in' with the same stuff. It almost looks like some sort of residue, but from what?
I can't say I've ever seen it on an obverse. Why not?
Anyone got any clues as to what it is and is there a technical term for it?

I have quite a few of the 5c 'Paw' Cuds. They appear both left and right and occasionally both. Some are huge.
Nevol, I'm more interested in your photo setup. With the spare time I'm trying to improve my coin photography and the plethora of threads hasn't helped a great deal. I've got the coppers and predecimals downpat but the more recent dollars and "silver" come out terrible.
I'm starting to think it's impossible to have both contrast and lustre.
The only thing I haven't tried is axial lighting but your full dollar photo's show the coin with just a few hotspots. You also seem to just be using a single light at 12.00 o'clock so I suspect you're not using axial lighting. I'm interested in your lighting setup. It's a bit off topic so PM or other thread (if you haven't already mentioned it elsewhere) would be appreciated.
Hi Steve, I think we all look at photos and say- "How hard can it be to take a decent photo of a coin". I have been trying a plethora of different cameras lately and am still not wrapped with my results.! My plan for the New Year is to get it right.! Perhaps we could all have a base coin ie. 1964 Penny and post results with camera type, lighting etc. and help each other out.!! New decimal coins are a stress whereas pre decimal dulled surfaces are easier.! I generally use two lights (10 o'clock and 2 o'clock) but I think the secret is in the editing.! Shared knowledge is good knowledge.! Hopefully by this time next year we are all experts.!
i got these today from the atm,

yes nancy , it is , i thought you said you have crook eyes , i think you have exray eyes .. ,, kel ,,
how did you know that , is that date common ??
did you see what the half crown went for $ 10.16 , i think from memory?
and why the interest in the nz .50 . is it the silver contents
and my big bidding friend from down south wont pay yet because he wants to bid on more this weekend , he informed me early this morning after i sent him another message .. but he dont want the 25 bulk because there is no silver contents ..so maybe he is going for the nz stuff also .. .. ,, kel ,,
and now i am going fishing for flathead ang large whiting .. ,, kel ,,
No silver in the NZ 50c. I need them for my NZ collection, that's all. :winkextra:
I guessed it was an 09 $1 as I have a couple like it. :angel:
That was a fair price for the half crown.

We dont get mudcrabs here in SA but the blueys are out and about although a bit slow this year. Flathead isnt the most fun fish to catch, a bit of a dead weight i find, but IMO the nicest eating fish out there.
I just noticed also that in a noodling thread we now have two complete ppages filled with fishing lol maybe there is a link between noodling and fishing, the thrill of the catch.
Quotemaybe there is a link between noodling and fishing, the thrill of the catch.
Indeed there ,is the thrill of the hunt and the utter enjoyment of the catch is pretty much the same as hunting down a particular coin and snagging it:yahoo:
Numismatics and fishing require patience, skill and education.
IMHO they go hand in hand and that is why so many collectors are also avid fishermen :good:

Did you get a thrill in finding it JeffH?
All I need to noodle now is a 2001 20c Upset.
Oh, in four days of noodling, I have picked up 2 x Incuse 50c pieces. (That makes 5 finds to date).
Congratulations Jeff and Goldy!
Nice finds.
I find the incuse 50c are very hard to find (although I have managed to find 3 of them in all my searching). Finding 2 of them in 4 days is very good.
I have had a pretty lucky day myself.
I found 2 1985 50c and 1 1993 50c
I can't for the life of me figure out those incused coins
not even sure if I have ever seen one in the hand to at least start
the various photos that i've seen don't really seem to show anything much to me
no body seems to put a normal and an incused side by side for a person to tell the difference
Always a thrill to find a rare variety. And it doesn't fade with subsequent finds.

It can be a little hard to tell, but I think there are other diagnostics. On one the bottom tip of the flag is closer to the rim or something.

Here you are Robbie.
I have indicated with 5 arrows the areas to look at closely.
The middle ‘stripes’ in the 4 corners of the flag, plus the star.
The Incused coin is on the left in all images.
In the incused, the 4 corner stripes of the flag are smooth and in
the normal one they are rough, same with the inside of the star.

Excellent photos Nevol!
I think that is the best comparison I have seen anywhere.
Great shots Nancy.
The stars (all of them) on the incused look bigger than their counterparts on the normal coin - or is that an optical illusion (or my eyes perhaps)?
Pedro
Another thing to look out for.
If searching these coins under light, the vertical and horizontal cross in the centre of the Union Jack appears to be shiny and very clean.
That is how I recognized my two Incuse finds recently.
I look for the double line around the Union jack, incused don't have it
Thanks for that AC, never noticed that before.
As per normal a wonderful lesson learnt quickly and easily.!! Thankyou Nevol.!!:angel:
Some great hints in what to look for. Thanks.
Now to find one of the little blighters!
Pedro
I have never found one , I bought both of mine for $ 25.00 ea
no where near as much fun as finding one .. ,, kel ,,
thanks heaps nevol and trout
much appreciated
I shall study these pics and the lessons
I might ask some of decimal collects at my coin club if they have examples for me to look at
it's a bit like the 1933/32 overdate penny
I had trouble figuring that one out but as soon as I found one - well, now I can spot them at a 100 paces (maybe 1 pace really ha ha)
i'll be keeping every one that I get in change, honestly I just didn't bother to keep them as it has been too much of a brain teaser for me!!

This is a really good idea.
When you see one they are pretty obvious, but I have to admit that while searching, I have (at times) gone through so many coins, I was starting to think that I was missing them.

Quote from: 'JeffH' pid='14905' dateline='1368614917'From $400 of 50¢ searched.
Nice haul!
A very nice haul.
That is a good strike rate!
I found a split planchet 50c last night.
That is a first for me!
I call foul! I've STILL never pulled one out of circulation, though I do have lots and lots with die cracks at the tips of the flag, a huge strikethrough on the flag, massive doubling, or a combination of the above.
Oh well, I'll just have to be happy with the ram's head I found yesterday I guess. :)
I will try to put up a photo over the weekend.
I think these must be very rare.
I have found a few cracked planchets, but this is the first split between front and back of a coin.
It looks like the flaw in the metal was already there and it has had a knock which caused the spilt to open up.
I almost missed it, but took a closer look when it "clunked" instead of "clinked" when I first discarded it.
The ones which "clunk" always get a closet look but usually nothing stands out.
I figure they have some sort of internal flaw.
I might keep the next few I find which "clunk" and do some further investigations.
Clink, clonk, clunk,
Klink on a TV,
Clonk of a horseshoe,
And a clunk on the head .....

Quote from: 'Unicorn' pid='15057' dateline='1368745652'Klink on a TV,
I Know NUSSINK! :)
We had quite a discussion a couple of forums ago about these Klunkers IIRC. They split internally, and if they're hit just so they separate, partially or completely. The theory was you could help them along with some boil/freeze/bang cycles, but that never actually worked for anyone as far as I know. Which is a pity, cos I have one here somewhere in this pile of finds from yesterday. Apart from the sound, the first sign is a hairline crack around the edge, and its so tempting to jam a crowbar in there and try to prise it open. :)
I tend to hang onto them, but of course if you pull them out of circulation they'll never separate. Like a bad child, they need a little therapeutic violence to put them on the right track. :angel:

Do you use a loupe when you're searching? I reckon I would have found lots to keep out of 1600 coins. :angel:
No, just my eyes and the wife's eyes. As I have said on previous occasions, if it can't be seen with the naked eye, then it is just "nothing" in my books.
I believe one could take two freshly minted coins, and with a loupe or whatever, one could find several "errors" between them.
I am happy with what I have and what I find.

We did 50c coins, not $1 coins.
Further, yes I did have some 2001 Federation 50c pieces but should I keep them if I can't see any errors?

Well, I went to the bank today and came back with 200 one dollar coins. One small step for noodling but a giant leap for this novice noodler. :yahoo: It took my about an hour to go through them. I found half a dozen coins for my circulation set (which I began just couple of days ago) including a 1984 that is almost Unc. There were 1 or 2 older coins in similar grade, so I'm hopeful of putting together a nice set.
I found a 1996 Sir Henry Parkes which I quite like. He looks ghostly at the best of times but here, he's simply ehthereal. :zomby:

Quote from: 'r9453' pid='16460' dateline='1369809100'Is it called a mis-strike? The rev. is similar and suggests the dies were not concentric. :-/
Off-centre strike. We had a discussion about these not long ago, with the consensus being 2mm or more qualifies as a keeper. I tend to keep them under that, especially dollars where there's a split as well.
Just found a 2001 CoF upset... 270° I think
(Goldy will correct me, no doubt)... top of head points left.
And a gorgeous 2010 MoR
(sadly a bit of cancer between the A and 2) with a massive double cud... rabbit ears plus complete fill between the top two roos.
Oh, and three "normal" rabbit ears, and a small handful of minor erros.. this is a good bag so far. :)
Quote from: 'keldaw' pid='15705' dateline='1369118671'I also have a dollar with a rabbit ear,s and a spew roo all on the one roo .
Any chance of a pic to compare to this one? Sounds similar, though all the spews I've seen previously were smaller than this double cud.
"Off-centre strike" Thanks Fulvio I will do a search for that thread. I would say this one is 1mm.
Edit: Found the thread in question.
Hey Fulvio
This one might help, it was a 2006 spew roo with rabbit ears and a MAD (mis-aligned die) or Off-centre strike that I had recently.

I don't like that Parkes coin. I have an UNC and proof of that and they even look dull (no wonder circulateds usually look pretty shit). I put that down to poor design ( or checking first, sample strikes).
But, that one is out of the box.

Yup, that's what I call a spew roo. Here's the 2010 I found though... can't really call it that, the cud's too big. :)

Hey Fulvio:- My 2010 Rabbit Ear Spew Roo has a larger rabbit Ear on it. Maybe yours is an early press of the mine.........

I'd say so, yes. Wonder how much worse it got?
I haven't seen any worse than mine for a long time now.
I don't noodle very many $1 coins but always check my change. I have been putting any better looking ones aside and today sorted them out.
Was able to make quite a presentable commemorative set -a few could be better but, plenty of time to improve later.

Hey all how's things?
I came across my first 2013 20 cent today in a few $$ of coins, that's now the 2013 $2 and the 2013 50 cent.
Also in the noodle I came across this, your thoughts pretty please???
Hopefully you can see it, it looks to me like another coin was struck on it but not sure if it's mint damage or pmd... Around the rim

Thanks in advance

no eggs-spert
but it looks like road kill to me
Yeah, road kill allright. Sorry Matt. :angel:
road kill has it's own special character
the tale or vey tall story that was behind the events before it got run over by the ten ton truck or fell into the tram lines
or how it slipped from the silk lined pocket of a pretty young damsel on the bow on the Titanic, just before it hit the iceberg in the dark of the night and so on (yes, the Titanic really sank in 1982)
and so on
So someone has def got the hammer and another coin onto this bugger than? Damn damn lol
Quote from: 'robbiegal' pid='17764' dateline='1370951684'(yes, the Titanic really sank in 1982)
Yeah, but that was the
USS Titanic, a rowboat that sank just above Niagara Falls. The pretty young damsel was last heard going over the edge yelling
"sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiitttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ;)
well, I can't see lettering
maybe the picture is too big to see such detail?

is it a weak date or a die fill ??

Scored these out of $100 of 10c
1. 2010 (Filled Die???) 2. 2003 (Chunk missing) 3. 1999 (Blob)
(http://i44.tinypic.com/312iuu1.jpg)
I couldn't find a way to take a photo of the N.Z coins, I know about using a mirror but I can't get a clear enough shot of the rotation... Can someone tell me if this is common in the 2003 10 cents??
(http://i43.tinypic.com/f0dkc2.jpg)
1. Yep, filled die.
2. PMD I think.
3. 1999 Fat cud. Not real easy to find, so well done. :yahoo:
Re the NZ coins, you'd need to find out where they were minted for the respective years. Some NZ coins were minted in Sth Africa, and a lot of them appear to be rotated as whoever did them over there was less than diligent about how they did it. I think I have a 1999 5c that's rotated, but a chap in NZ said it's normal for that denom in that year.
"Cool Cud".

Thanks Nevol, I will have a look at the 2003 NZ 10c and find some info on google.. I can only hope that the 2003 wasn't one of those common years lol. It always seems to happen to me when I'm noodling, this week I found that NZ rotated coin, last week it was a singapore 2011 10 cent instead of aussie and a 1972 NZ 5 cent(never the aussie ones haha)
And I wonder if that chap wanted the coin for himself or was being legit about it being common hmmmm lmao:yahoo:
Anyhow, will let you know what I find on the 2003 NZ 10c
Quote from: 'Robster' pid='18608' dateline='1371624666'"Cool Cud".
Thanks, I did find a few of the long CUD 10c on the feathers, I will post those pics a little later tonight if I remember.. They are similar to the ones that Nevol sent out after the contest on 10 cent errors.

I used to frequent a NZ Forum as well as Trade Me (NZ version of Ebay) and back then, I remember there were a lot of the 1999 5c showing up on Trade Me as Rotated coins, but not many of them were selling. I just checked NZ TM, and there's no upset or rotated coins listed at present.
Yep agreed, came across The Royal Numismatic Society Of New Zealand on google and it seemed pretty helpful but I found an image of the 2003 10 cent and it looks like it is the way the coin was meant to be. The N.Z site showed a few rare and scarce coins to look out for too so that will be handy as well, I will have to go and have a look again, I think one was a 1967 50 cent variety with a dot above the 1 in 1967.. Will have to search what's in the world coin bag lol..
Matt
Check your inbox Matt, just sent a doc I found re NZ coin varieties and it has some info re what mints were used and when. Better than nothing I guess.
Nothing arrived yet lol and thanks, when I see it in my inbox I will take a look. Anything is always better than nothing, thanks again

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/321053364774?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649
I did have one of these last year but I broke it and only just found them on ebay again. I think it's a fantastic magnifier!!!
That looks really cool. I ended up ordering that 55x one, but if its not good I'll grab one of these too.
The only thing I found as a problem when using this magnifier is that it is bare metal facing the coin when looking through it, I was thinking of using masking tape or something along those lines just as a precaution so no metals connect..
But like I said, it is a great magnifier and works really well when I need to take pics. My opinion though
Matt
Murphy strikes again....
Take a 6" tall stack of Millennium 50¢ and a magnifier.
Reject the whole lot for minor wear or damage.
As you pick up the last one, Note the rim cud alongside the 50.
....And then discover some idiot has taken to the entire coin with a screwdriver and completely ruined it!
AAAAAArrrrrrrrgggghhhhhh!
Still, it could have been incused.. then blood would have had to be spilled. ;)
This sort of thing is happening far too often, IMO.
:i_agree: Fulvio
My pet hate is still coin counters / rollers! :dash1:
Went noodling today, 50c pieces, $1,800.00 of em. Found another two 2000 COF Incuses and one other speciality coin. (I shall give details of the speciality coin at a later date).
2000 x 20c pieces for absolutely nuttin.
Quote from: 'Goldseeker' pid='20525' dateline='1373034485'2000 x 20c pieces for absolutely nuttin.
Sigh.. you tossed 'em back yet Goldy? I might pop over if you haven't... I guarantee I'd find more than a few keepers. :)
Yep, no errors that I could see with the naked eye.
Still another $500 of $1 coins to check but, this will do me...
[attachment=2184]
And an interesting planchet flaw. Looks like foreign matter was embedded just under the surface. I shouldn't have used a cotton bud to swab it with acetone -look at all the belly button lint I now have to carefully pick off. [I will have to practice my wrist action as advised by Fulvio.] Coin itself is rather knocked about.
[attachment=2185]
Nice finds Jeff! Love the lint, adds a nice touch.:mocking:
I forgot to mention; the edges of the metal at the "blowouts" are like foil -very delicate prod with a toothpick moves them easily. No wonder it caught the cotton.

I found a couple of 51 florins lately with these flaws, One of them has a flake of metal proud of the coin but still attached and it is paper thin as well.

I got a few of these new 2013 $2 with flimsy flakes like that. One of them is hanging on by its fingernails and it will be a race to get a pic before it falls off. It certainly wouldn't survive a 2x2.
The more of these I see, the more inclined I am to agree with Goldy that they're all cold shuts. Just some bigger than others.
One I found today in the change bowl.

That rotation seems to happen quite often on various years. I suspect it happens on all denominations, but we really only notice it on the 50¢. I also suspect the rim spurs you sometimes see in the corners are related, but its just a theory.
Your opinions please;
Possible thin planchett. Weight 14.9 grams as against 15.4 grams.

Either that or it has spent considerable time at the beach and someone has metal detected it and spent it.
Either way it most certainly has been eroded post mint :ok:
Quoteas well as two x 2000 Incuses
Wow! 2 in one day. :yahoo:
Sorry Goldie, JMHO, but I also believe the 50c has had a bath in some acid which explains why it's underweight.
Yes, two this day. I have never found two in any previous days searching, a first for me. Now after selling the previous nine, I now have another five spares.
hey goldie
somewhere in my stuff I have a nicely worn down 10c - also looks like it has been rolling gently in the bottom of the ocean for some time
you could start the beachcombers series!!
Excellent noodling Goldie! :yahoo:
The 50c piece is definitely not from the beach. If it was, the coin would be thin as a sheet of paper, holed and corroded and pitted like the moons surface. I have found many a decimal coin on the beach from my detecting days so I know what they can look like.
Most probably as Markn has stated, acid treated.
done a little better this time, a few commemoratives and another incuse so I was a happy little piggy about that so now I have 2 :yahoo: also got some early to mid 70's in F to EF :)

Well done Mate, I have only ever found one incused and that was at the Boozer at Pannawonica .
I got some weird looks when I yelled out and did a little "Nerd Dance"
when I checked my change on the way back with my round.:blush:
and here's a rough scan of some of my recent finds..I know some will think they're crap but it's hard finding good coins here and I don't care as I'm happy with them, just need some more saflaps now :winkextra: (http://i43.tinypic.com/j93l1y.jpg)
Nice finds ausjack, especially the incused. Still haven't found one yet...
Great finds AJ!!!! :yahoo: Incuse :yahoo:
I'd be more than happy with those.
Some of those 69 through 74s look nice!
"Incuse me A.J., what a good noodler you are.!! :dodgy:
:good: thanks team, but not so good Rob when you take that it's the second one in ten years :( but I can't complain as I have a wavy but I didn't find it and still to find a mule and more rotated but have one of most other things now but gee some are so hard to find but what a warm fuzzy I get when I find one and especially one's like the 69 as it has a home in my type set and it's taken me over twelve months to find a good one as that's when trout sent me the type set :)

Excellent. Don't open them.
I exchanged $1200 worth of 50c pieces and $500 worth of $1 coins at one of my favourite exchange locales and receive the same back, supposedly.
On getting home and noodling the lot, I ended up 21 x 50c pieces down over six bags and I also found this terrible coin in the first bag opened:
OMG! It's the wrong shape.
Is it a double bar?
Quote20 rolls of 50c from CBA and all of them 2012!
These are almost certainly uncirculated (with, maybe, lots of marks). You could pick out the rolls with best looking end coins and stick them on eBay. They usually sell easily.
Open the rest of the rolls and sort out the least marked ones as keepers; cash in the rest.
That's what I do with similar lots. But, it is usually bags -rolls tend to have a higher proportion of coins with minimal marking.

Quote from: 'Goldseeker' pid='25993' dateline='1377245733'21 x 50c pieces down over six bags
Down? You mean they shorted you?
And how could you be down that much over only six bags? Or do you mean sacks? Its still a lot though, I was down a total of about 8 over 39 sacks. Which of course they made up for.
Well done Goldseeker!
I have found 1 1966 a while back too.
OK fulvio, 21 coins down over 6 x $200 bags of 50c pieces.......don't worry, they will not get away with it.
Since December 2012, I have found in excess $300.00 in additional currency, Australian that is, in the large plastic bags of 50c, 20c and $1 coins.
If any bag has been short, the banks generally make them up.
In fact on one bag of 400 x 50c pieces, I was surplus 28 coins. Back they went and the manager was appreciative.
Quote from: 'Goldseeker' pid='26039' dateline='1377313074'...in excess $300.00 in additional currency
You've gotta be kidding. These are clearly not Armaguard sacks then, but customer deposits? What are they doing over there? My branches all weigh everything... even rolls!
All my coins I swap at the banks are in the large see through plastic bags as you have seen at my place.
I think every bag of coins I have received have had at least one other denomination coin inside.
The banks, on occasion, weigh the bags before they issue them to me. Most do a one for one exchange without weighing.
Quote from: 'Goldseeker' pid='26068' dateline='1377342475'Most do a one for one exchange without weighing.
AHA! There's your problem. If they're accepting them without checking, there's nothing to stop innocent or otherwise errors occurring.
Those sacks
(CoinSafes IIRC... don't have one handy) are packed by the customer or the branch, and don't meet the same standard as Security company sacks, which are machine packed, sealed, weighed and labelled.
And even they get it wrong. I've had 4 or 5 shortages to date. Worst one was 3 coins down plus a 5¢ posing as $2, for an $8 loss. The others were 1 or 2 down. The banks regard this as an unacceptable rate, and say they can't claim unless the faulty bag is still sealed, so I'm now weighing each bag before opening
(the sacks are too heavy to weigh with my scales).
I really don't get how your branches can be so blasè about this.
It has taken a long time for me to get these swaps going on a one for one basis.
My guarantee to the bank is that if any bag is short from me and contains anything else but Aussie coins, you, the bank, can keep the coins.
The coin bags I swap are $1 coins x 500, 50c x $200 and 20c x $100 bags, the large plastic see through bags. I showed these bags to you when you were over last time.
To date, I have not lost anything to the banks in forfiture because of my guarantee.
The coins I get are those bags of coins that are removed from the coin count machines in the banks foyer. I ensure that each bag I receive from the bank has the "advise slip" inside the bag. If the slip is there, I know that I have not had that particular bag od coins before.
I guess it all comes down to "what arrangement one has with the bank(s)".
To date, I have not had any bags of coins or rolled coin from coin security services outside of the banks. So "there's your problem", as stated in your last response, does not compute.
Quote from: 'Goldseeker' pid='26086' dateline='1377348704'does not compute.
If they send the CoinSafe sacks off to Armaguard
(or whoever), they get emptied into the hopper to be bagged and sealed into the heavy duty sacks
(not the CoinSafes). Barring a mechanical failure or a bag bursting
(which has happened twice in nearly 40 sacks now) and losing a coin or two on the way into the sack, the sack
should be spot on.
If however they take a sack from a customer and pass it on, or even if they fill it themselves, from their drawers or in the case of CBA those horrible coin machines, then there is no guarantee whatsoever that they didn't miscount. Their scales are no good for large quantities, only an individual bag or two. And I've had a cloth sack of 1,000 loose $2 from Bendigo which they'd filled and got wrong. Fortunately I counted it with the head teller at Westpac, otherwise I would have had to wear the loss.
About once or twice a year I get bored and get $500 in coins from the bank.
I have never actually counted them so I wouldn't know if I was over/under.
I have found more unusual/nice coins in my pocket change than noodling , I don't know how you mob can do this on a daily/weekly basis.
My favourite "Noodling" Is getting bulk silver coin lots (especially 3d coins) and doing batches of 20-30 at a time until I have gone through them all :ok:
Going through 1000s of coins in one hit burns my eyes out :dash1:
I am after bulk coins for the search for obvious errors/faujlts. Having buked searched in excess of 2.5 million coins in the past few years, I have built up quite a collection of errors and faults.
Since December 2012, I have searched 111, 260 x 50c coins for only 19 keepers. They are 1966 50c x 1, many 200 Incuse and several 2010 rotated upsets.
I need to have a supply of bulk coins and the banks do that quite nicely.

some decent lots come up on eBay from time to time, Especially when the spot Silver price goes up :ok:
You just have to steer clear of the dealers and big sellers.
I am waiting for silver to go above $30 per oz and these will come out of the woodwork in droves :wavemulticolor:
Not that I am a big noodleoodeler but thanks to early fathers day prez I may be able to see what I am looking at now.

Noodling bulk coin is informative, as you get to view a lot of coins and compare them to each other. Errors which you would never notice in your change jump out at you. Whether you keep minor errors or not, you really get a feel for what's going on.
And if it starts to get tedious, just switch to doing something else for a while. Coin-related or just chilling out with a game or whatever. This is a passtime, not a job, after all.

I admire you mob that have the patience and eyesight to be able to do this, I unfortunately have neither :angel:
I DO find error coins every now and then and enjoy finding them, as I am not an error collector I normally pass these along to collectors that do.
I am basically a boring old date and mintmark collector and want perfect coins (if affordable ) in my collections and error coins don't hold my interest for long :ok:
Getting coins out of circulation for my collections would mean I would be dropping the standard of that collection and I just can't bring myself to add a bagged and circulated coin to that album.
I am talking decimal coins here, There is NO way I could aspire to a full collection of MS/Unc pre decimal coins :dash1:
We all have different ways we collect and acquire our coins, each to their own.
It's just a matter of what rock's the individuals boat :yahoo:
Quote from: 'trout' pid='26167' dateline='1377425838'I admire you mob that have the patience and eyesight to be able to do this
A good loupe makes up for bad eyesight. Without one I can barely see the coin, let alone what year it is. :(
It would be a boring old world if everyone was the same, mate. Some of us like the thrill of the chase, some like to sit back and gaze at their purchased perfect slabs, most fall somewhere in between.
Its all good. :angel:
Trout,
A "perfect examples" collection could possibly live alongside a "best examples I can find" collection.
Just a suggestion of another angle you might enjoy.
Quote"best examples I can find"
These I give to my Niece Tayah :ok:
I had to put up with inferior coins in my pre decimal sets because It is just way too expensive to have them all MS quality.
The Decimal coins however are a whole different kettle of fish and it is eminently affordable to have ALL these in MS/Uncirculated condition.
There are some tough ones but the majority are within my budget so why would I add a lesser quality coin to my album just to save a couple of dollars.
The only reason I noodle every now and then is to look for errors or mint set/NCLT coins that I normally give away, To me noodling is just a bit of fun :ok:

A word of caution re the KB Scope. When you have it plugged in, light on and programme active, make sure to either unplug it or close the program when not actually in use. If you don't, you run the risk of it overheating and actually melting something inside that will prevent it from operating. I've had it happen to 2 so far and while I did get them replaced, prevention is better than cure. :angel:
Went noodling today, $400 x 50c and $1,000 x $1 coins and this is the result.
1. 1 x NZ $1 coin.
2. 1 x 2008 Scout Centenary with a massive "cold shut(shunt) across it.
3. 1993Landcare that appears to have no raised rim about the Reverse but also shows some signs of an "out od collar" minting. Hard to scan the edge for people to see.
4. 1994 $1 copper coloured Kangaroo coin that weighs only 8.7 grams and a tad thinner that normal coins.
Here is the scan of these coins:
I finally got round to the sack of $1 I had, mainly because I wanted to cash in the rejects.
A handful of low mintages, a double handful of assorted minor errors, and the pick of the bunch were two 1988's with cuds in two grooves on the left side. Not seen this before, just the cracks at the points around the rim, and the usual cuds in the dots on the bottom right.
And before Fish-Boy starts moaning, yeah, I'll get some pics when I get a chance, ok? ;)
Also, though not strictly speaking noodling, a cracked 1964 penny which I reckon could easily split in two, a halfpenny with a die crack across the roo's back, and a 3d with a massive peel.
I don't have any pic's yet sorry but I've found a few planchet flaws, die cracks and cuds but have looked at many coins and got some old 1 and 2 dollar notes and some 1 and 2 cents so happy with that
oh, and thought I'd look in the ashtray in me ute as it's been a while and found a pointy A 20 cent
here's a quick scan so sorry it's not so good but top left back of head, top right shield, bottom left cheek and right is "0" up to emu's leg..will get some better pic's later :)

I was going through some of my old coins and found a few things i forgotten I had.
Some very nice rim cuds and then there was a few coins not sure why I kept them and was reluctant to release back into the wild.
I know I kept them for a reason,but why ????????
I have to let go.

And then there's this highly unstable 4" stack of $2 rim cuds in front of me.. I
really gotta deal with them.. soon.. promise... :angel:
and also found some more 50 cent bubbles so getting the info I need to send to Ian Mc to put in ACB :good:

Good luck with your bubble article!
Finally decided to attack this sack of copper I've been sweet-talking out of various tellers. Step 1 was quarantining all the green ones and separating the rest by year. Next will be careful examination, year by year.
Still, got a 1968, 3x 1969, 3x huge peels, a gorgeous rainbow, a straight clip, and a 1989 with that mirrored halo that suggests it came out of a set. Oh, and a whole heap that look aUNC or thereabouts.
Not too shabby, eh? And I've got JUST the uncooperative teller in mind to dump the roadkill on. :diablo:

I had a go at copper coins a couple of months ago. I did a similar thing. The teller/bank that is always grumpy and said "We are not allowed to give them out and and besides the whole process is difficult" and "No bank will give you any" etc etc.
After I sorted through the $40 of copper I got from the other two bank I asked I took all the roadkill to her to deal with. I was just too difficult for me to walk 100m down the street to my other bank where I get treated nicely and with respect! :acute: Needless to say she was happy to see me (but it made my day).

Sorry peoples but why I've been so hesitant is that if I can find anything else in future I can get it published and MAYBE, just maybe make a couple of bucks (won't hold my breath tho) as I don't have many other options left as labouring is definitely out these days and I'm pretty much RS to do most other thing so I hope you's can understand where I'm coming from, sorry :( But all will be revealed soon :)
No need to explain AJ ....... all good mate!
It will be great if you get something published and hopefully make a couple of dollars while you're at it.
Errr.. you actually think any of us would steal your claim to fame?
That would be a really scummy thing to do, don't you think?
I'm sure we're all nice people, but why take the chance?-John
I was more worried about the book side and how they might like it more if they can publish something new and not printing things everyone knows about..you know, hot off the press type of thing :winkextra:

This looks a lot like a strikethrough. Definitely not a hit. I don't think its a cold shut, based on the smoother bottom and really shallow marks above it which look like bits of fluff.

yes, it is quite a 'heavy" lamination flaw and if one looks closely, one can see some of the lamination on the upper part of the Queens face as well as the lump removed from the lower part.

Heh, I had the same sentiment, and switched from $2 to mixed denominations. I now have a heap of sacks of new 5¢ and 10¢... can't seem to find any circulated ones for some reason. So for now its 50¢, to be followed by $1 before I get to the shinies. ;)
Fulvio where do you buy these sacks?
Quote from: 'runway' pid='28103' dateline='1379079098'Fulvio where do you buy these sacks?
From the bank of course. Has to be a branch that is a nett consumer rather than generator of coins. So all CBA branches are definitely out, as are branches near schools or small shopping centres.
Best bets are major shopping centres, or strips with lots of shops and no majors.

While you can't really go wrong at face value, not everyone is going to want to pay $50 for a 1¢ piece, or thousands for a penny, for example. And while some lust after NCLT, others wouldn't touch 'em with a bargepole. ;)

I am pretty sure that young blokes like Coops doesn't have much of a budget ( I know when I was a young bloke I didn't).
What we should be doing as a group is getting a "Care package" together for him.
I am certain that most of us have spare coins that we really don't need and are too much of a pain in the arse to sell anyway.
Why not ( when the little bugger tells us what he is interested in) just band together and give him a kickstart in his collecting :good:

Not to mention lets not lose sight of why the rules were put in place in the first place. This is a totally different situation.
And yes, I do realise about kids and budgets. Which is why I asked, since we haven't heard from dad, and don't know what support may be there.
A care package is definitely on the cards.

For the week ending today, I have noodled 6,000 x 50c pieces and 1500 x $1 coins for:
5 x Incuse 50c pieces, 1 x 2010 Spew Roo $1, 1 x Spew Roo/Rabbit Ear $1, and four NCLT's, PLUS 1 x 2001 COF Upset.
Not a bad haul if I do say so myself.
5 incuse?!?!
I think I have only ever found 3 and I have searched MANY times what you just did....
It's a funny game isn't it?

Well done!
Quote from: 'Ozcoins' pid='29604' dateline='1380547123'It's a funny game isn't it?
Yep. Out of several thousand flags, not one has been incused. :(
Since recommencing my noodling in December 2012, I have searched 148,860 x 50c coins for 27 keepers. The keepers are 3 x rotated 2010, 24 x incuses.
I have searched some $1 and 20c coins.
I sold a bundle of incuses via the forum a few weeks ago, that got rid of 9. Then I sold 7 to a Melbourne dealer and I now have another 8 to get rid off/spares.

WOW, that is a huge amount of coins to look through for 27 keepers.
Yes, well I am not after coins with little scratches etc on them.

Got this slightly offcentre 10c in change yesterday
but dont know that it's worth keeping
[attachment=2362]
Hey Stevo, I think it's a misaligned die (mad), they're pretty common (unless the milling is interrupted and it becomes a partial collar or tilted partial collar).
I did keep a set of 12 2004 $1 with mad errors at the various clock offsets and often put aside very noticable mad errors. Don't really think they're worth much of a premium though.
I got my first 2013 x .50 cent this morning , at the canteen at the Caboolture hospital ..

Anyway, from memory, there's the rim spike next to the flowers, the shoulder crack, various obverse fills...
... and of course the usual strikethrough flaws.

OK, so I gave up and gave them a good look.
Just over half of these 2013 50¢ are errors.
Mostly big heel cuds.
Some with multiple small bicep cuds.
A couple of roo face cuds.
Obverse chin and hair cuds.
...and combinations of the above.

That coins has been listed and relisted many times. The seller is the son of a certain seller in Bundy, who also sets unrealistic prices for her errors and is a member here. :dodgy: They both need a huge dose of reality. :winkextra:

You may be quite correct Unicorn in me reporting a Sir Henry Parkes find back in September but that particular coin was a partial rotation as against others I had found which were rotated a bit more. I have been noodling for several years now and my first recorded find of this coin was Aug 2006. I suppose I have found in excess of 20 and I have sold a few on EBay and sold some privately. I think I am holding four as I type.
In regards to Mules, found 39, sold 13, on display 1, on hand 25.
Thanks for the extra info Goldie I really appreciate it. (Stats from someone who has noodled more dollar coins than probably the rest of us put together is always good).
Kind of makes them pretty hard to find I guess, considering you've found more mules than the Henry Parkes rotated.
Thanks again.
Thanks Unicorn, but there was a gent on this forum or one of the other now defunct forums, that has found in excess of 200 Mules. Makes my finds punny.
One of the defunct forums had a MULE Count topic and at the time of the forum going bottom up, the coiunt was neer 200 Mules being found by forum members.
Be interesting to see what the actual total figure of Mules minted is.
Sometimes when noodling I come across a much better than usual coin and wonder "where have you been hiding over the years?" The Silver Jubilee has excellent cartwheel lustre.
Well. these came from a moneybox, cashed in at the bank yesterday. Also was a 1979 50¢ that I would put at EF -pity it's not a double bar.

That's a nice Jubilee for a coin more than 35 years old.
As one of the early commemoratives they were hoarded and every now and then they get spent (usually not by the person who did the hoarding).
[attachment=2368] Hi all.. First noodling post for me :)
Have been pretty busy but finally sat down last night to go through the stack of coins I have accumulated over the last few weeks and this little beauty jumped out at me.( May I add I had to point out the error to my kids , think they may need glasses..lol)
I'm usually pretty good at searching round the net and getting a rough idea of value and whether its a keeper or not ,but I cant find anything other than 2 vague mentions of this error..
Anyone have any ideas on value/ rareness etc..
TIA all :)
:welcome:
Looks like a 90 degree rotation.
Nice find :good:
Thanx Trout,, but sadly the rotation is just a sign of my bad photoshop skills,, lol.
I should have explained the error, waffled on about everything else and forgot the most important part of the post ..
Its the T missing in Australia and also slightly off center with some of the lettering touching the rim.
No T there, good one.
HaHa
There I was Zooming in on the upset and totally missed the "Greased" "T"
:dash1: :blush:

Yes just another good idea from the mint, they've been having heaps of late so as I have heaps of good ideas I wonder if they'd give me a job :laugh2:

I went through a bag of 3d's today and found this lot.
nothing really slabworthy but all have nice lustre except for the other 1953 coin, I cant believe I missed these 2 1953 coins first up :blush:
I will however make the effort and put then in 2x2's tho :angel:

Yeah I agree with Robbie,there are a couple of slabbing candidates in that lot

Just a few moments ago, I found my fourth Rotated 2010 50c piece. Yahoo........and two RAM's heads in the same parcel of coins.
Well done Goldie! :wavemulticolor:
Top work Goldie :good:
Well, that is twice as many upsets as I have ever found and twice as many ramsheads as I have found in the past month.
Keep up the good work.

Removed by the author.
I got my first rotated 50c in change (ie not in coins obtained to search) last Friday.
It came out of a vending machine!
I was very happy with that.
Nice finds Goldie and Oz!
I found a 1942 Florin, 2 tall ships, a rams head and some world coins in my most recent batch.
1942 Florin, Wow! Now that's a hard coin to find in circulation these days. :wavemulticolor:
Fabulous Florin Find.!! :yahoo:
still to find ANY predecimal :( but I did get this double tail roll from the nab this morn :scratch_one-s_head:

I have a blistered 1925 penny that looks much the same but larger bubbles

Verdigris and acid perhaps. Thos two coins could well be genuine. But that damaged, and with so little eye appeal, it is probably irrelevant.
oh ta
so I can sell them
maybe they can go up as beggared coins
perhaps I should pop them over in that other thread!
I bought them as 'poor' from an ebay seller years ago but they didn't look quite so bad in the blurry photos of course
Not really noodling , but today I went to the local shops. I rarely do go. In change I received an extremely shiny $2 excited and thinking it may be another 2013 issue I took it home. (no reading glasses on me to check the date) . No it wasn't a new one , it is a mint looking, perfect 1988. Somebody ran short of money and spent a coin that had been put aside I think.
I have a huge amount of the 2013 $2 and 20c

Ok busy busy!! But just saw Fulvio posted and was waiting for me to spill the beans on what I got for my filled T $2 coin on Ebay,
I was thinking about $15ish , but was very very happy when the final bid was $47.50 :)

Super job AJ, way to go!
Hmmm...
I hope I am wrong, but I think it might be PMD...
Can we see some more pictures of the edges on both sides looking from the outside in and from the inside out?
gee wiz Oz, ya breakin me balls mate, so no..only jokin mate :laugh2: here's a few more for ya and yes it's real, no I didn't do it so I don't think it's pmd and yes I'm keeping it as I haven't seen anything like it..yes it's rough but it's 78 so it's been around longer than most of the forum members :)

I am really sorry, but my conclusion is PMD
:-(
yeah it doesn't look like it's been played with but one of the guns will know for sure :good:
all good Oz, it's different so I'll keep it :)
To elaborate on my conclusion, on a ramstrike the original points on the blank are all pressed up by the blank being forced into the collar.
On this coin the points look like they are normal, but the edges have been damaged.
RE Aj's 50 Ramstrike, I'm a little inclined to agree with Oscoins. I think that on 50c Ramstrikes that I've seen images of, the 'raised lip' is usually on the flat section of the coins edge, ie between the 'points', not actually on the points.
Verdict: undecided. :angel:

thanks Oz, so what and how did mine happen and what is it then :scratch_one-s_head:
if it wasn't so bloody old and like me seen way too much it might be easier to tell what happened..very odd either way

I agree with Nancy. Here's a recent one from Ebay with similarly sized "raised lips":
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/281182144051?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1587.l2649
Without getting into the discussion of which is the anvil die or the hammer die it appears one of the die is out of alignment (the obverse appears aligned with the corners of the blank) but on the reverse side they are out of alignment hence allowing some of the metal to flow up the side and create the raised ridge. As Nancy says this is on the flat side not the corners.
Yours also has raised lips on both sides of the coin and I've never seen that on a ramstrike not that I've seen that many. It would mean the collar would have to be out of alignment with both the anvil and hammer die and cause metal to flow both up and down.
If pressed I'd have to go with PMD by a flattening of the corners.
Oh I see now, thanks for that and all good and don't matter, I think it's cool and it has a new home where it won't get hurt any more..poor little bloke :cray:
Gee Steve I wouldn't have liked to have been the seller on that link. I would have though it worth more than that.
PP has a good pic on the ramstrike link too (as Nevol mentioned you should see the raised lip on the flat section).

I have a couple sort of similar to Aj's 50c, but I decided long time ago that they were PMD. I'll dig them out and put up some piccies later on.

Mate, its not always like that... I'm about to throw back maybe fifty 1982 50¢ because of that cancer on the edges. And I suspect the others will follow when I get around to opening the rolls. :(
Lesson learnt though.. paper does NOT stop the rot. So from here on, ALL my rolls go into sealed LDPE bags, no exceptions.

Got me stumped A.J.? Question without notice from Mrs. Robster. 2001 Federation 50c (almost all features doubled, 2 roozilla lumps plus off centre strike on l.h.s. Common???.
mmmm maybe more common that the 3 and 4 lumps, 4 is the hardest to find I think but you know the law of averages :) and doubling seem more and more common on all coins these days. lack of QC :( but I'll have to dig them out and suss if they all have it sorry
bloody good question mate as I had a look and it's very strange as some have doubling but then some don't so it must just be luck of the draw
Quote from: 'ausjack' pid='33291' dateline='1383353533'very strange as some have doubling but then some don't so it must just be luck of the draw
Back when CoF's were almost new, and I was actively noodling ten grand a day, I identified over twenty distinctly different errors, the Fat 5 and Roozilla being the most consistent. You get everything from a partial doubling to the entire coin being pretty much one big cud. One day I'll haul that crate out of storage and document them... ;)
AJ, the 50¢ have a fair amount of tolerance as far as rotation is concerned. You see those corners quite often, and I don't treat them as remarkable.
However there are a fair few other errors on the 2003. Look for doubling, especially across the bottom; Cleaning lines on the left; weak strikes esp around the fireman's gut as the most common. And of course the usual obverse cuds.
Noodled this one today. Flaking 1976 50c piece, a first for me:-
A nice lamination flaw Goldie! Not that easy to come by.

However, talking about noodling finds now. Special finds keep coming up. My wife presented me with a hoard of 368 $1 coins that she has been hiding from me to have a look at and I have scanned the four finds below. Also, noodling 50c pieces yesterday, found my second flaking 50c piece in a week. That is also pictured below.
Found by my son in change on Friday and just given to me.The size of an Aussie 10c in a bunch of change but look close and it's an American quarter.

There is one for every state of the U.S.A. Nice coins i.m.o.
Gotta be happy with anything that costs 5 cents.
Not sure if that blob of metal at 4.00 o'clock on the obverse and the line across the rim at 3.30 on the reverse suggests it had also been double struck. Any suggestions?

one heck of an interesting coin there Steveq :)
Looks like my 3 recent Partial collar 5c's. Nice find for 5 cents! :yahoo:
I don't think it's double struck, but what does the edge look like? Any disturbance to the milling?

No milling and appears to be about .75 - 1mm larger in diameter (Now wish I had a micrometer) so suspect it was struck completely out of collar. The coin is 12 years old so any milling may have been worn off but then it would have been about 21mm in diameter. Weight is correct at 2.86grams. Definitely not a partial collar.
Nice find Steve!
Quote from: 'Steveqld' pid='33890' dateline='1384081445'The coin is 12 years old so any milling may have been worn off
No way that coin's had 12 years of wear! Or even one. It looks to have been struck yesterday, so probably spent its life in someone's collection I'd say.
Doesn't look double struck, but I'd like to see the edge also.
Close ups attached with the coin next to another 5 cent for comparison of width:
images at 3 o'clock and 6 o'clock

And a couple of closeups of the "mess at 4.00o'clock on the obverse and marks under the effigy. Those rounded marks under the effigy are stamped into the coin and there appear to be 3 of them. I suspect they were made by the edge of the die.

Looks out of collar to me. Nice.
Quote from: 'Steveqld' pid='33926' dateline='1384127563'I suspect they were made by the edge of the die.
Yep, that's what it looks like. The "mess" is just the way the unrestrained metal flowed I reckon.
cool 5c
An excellent find Steve, keeps the hopes alive!!!!
Better than the finds I found today.
1 x 2001 COF Upset at 4 O'clock.
1 x 2010 Spew Roo $1, (Small). (That makes a large and small spew roo now).
1 x a "C" Waltzing Matilda.
Further, A Philipino lady sold me $44.00 worth of 1 and 2 cent pieces at face value.
Now have to noodle them.
While it probably doesn't count as noodling, I came up with Coronation rolls and 2013 $1 bags.
I am just going through the 1 and 2c pieces I got from the lady yesterday and I have found a coin for my coolection.
That is a NO "SD" 1981 2c piece. See below:
And the coin looks good condition too, assuming obverse is similar.
Nice find.
Just noodled a dot under bottom scroll London die 1920 penny

Thats much better than the average 72 still getting around in circulation. Nice find mate.
AJ, as Enworb said most of them in circulation now are pretty bad.
That is a good find!
Well done!
yep the best I've found yet and because it's still so wet I thought I'd have another little noodle and not much just an 85 50 and 1 fedand 4 bubbles but not much else so far so nowto look for flaws :)
Decided to have a small noodle of $1 and 50c ($100 each).
Not much came out of the dollars:
1999 Older Persons in reasonable nick
2003 Women's Suffrage (ditto)
2008 rabbit ears
2011 in good condition
Did better with the 50c:
1972 x 2 (although worn)
1974
1980 double bar
1985
1988
1994 wide date
1997
2001 New South Wales
2001 Northern Territory x 2

Haven't checked the 2003 that closely (need to refresh the memory what the distinctions between the two are).

Easiest cues are the O and the length of the trident tines. Here's a piccy from CCF:
(http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/uploaded/FNQ/20120605_2003-2.jpg)
Also look for vertical die scratches parallel to the trident, and die cracks through the hat on the right or the skirt at the bottom.
Well folks, the varieties keep on rolling in. Another forum member who is a close friend looked at some of my spare 2010 Rabbit Ears over the past week and found this one:
I have called it 2010 Huge Rabbit Ear/Tail Cud:
That is correct FULVIO
Thanks Fulvio. The 2003 I found today is the one on the left. Can't see any of the flaws you mentioned on this one in the present lighting but will get the USB out tomorrow for a closer look.

The 2010 small and large rabbit ears appear to be due to different dies. This occurred in 1994 as well.
woohoo just found my first nclt $1 a 2001 army with the c, very happy :)
Nice find ausjack. Keep looking and you will find many more.
The most common finds I have found are the Waltzing Matildas and Smithy NCLTs.
Wait till you find a VC in circulation................
mate I'm hoping, $200 and that was about it no rabbits no rotating but still that makes it worth it as I didn't have one :)

Yes, I definately think you're the first here to mention it.
It's no worries to me I was just showing a link for some extra info for you that was all. (ie: I thought you might find it interesting).
You've done well finding it.
By the way .... you now own the copyright to the phrase 'lizard tongue'. (The word 'bubble' is currently being held for ransom and it's rights will be sold to the highest bidder ..... probably Fulvio :diablo: ).
I looked at the 2 x 2010 rabbit ears coins that I sold recently and noticed that they had only a partial other tail cud, rather than a complete one like yours. I might have one left, will try and dig it out later.
Interesting Unicorn. I am not worried if someone else uses the phrase "lizard tongue" because, I think, someone else has used it first.
All I have to do now is to find the rest of my Lizard Tongues and post them.
I had another look at your pic and I think mine are/were the same. Here's the two I sold. The tail cud in the lower 2/3 parts appears to have a impression where it remains on the die whilst the 1/3 part joining the roo is a proper cud. There is also a line of 'spit' on the back of the roo (below the one with the ears) on all 3.

This has become quite common recently. Most are a bit hard to spot because they're right along the edge of the roo's back, extending as far as half way to the top roo's feet. I think its likely a crack, and related to the tail spike most prevalent on the '98's. I think I have one somewhere where the line extends right across the second roo and out his mouth, though not all the way to the third roo, IIRC.
Unicorn:- I was looking at one of those you pictured above on EBay yesterday. It still might be there.

Nice six pack Steve.! :d_training:
Did a little noodling with some pleasing finds:
2010 rotated 50c (a first) :yahoo:
1996 $1 Henry Parkes - mintmark "S" - more :yahoo:
1998 $1 with cud (sizeable a bit like the one pictured earlier)
Couple of 2001 state 50c coins - Victoria and Norfolk Island
One happy chappy!
Pedro
Gee that's ok Pedro :good:
I got 2 beaut shiny 2012 20c pieces today in change
I wrapped them in a tissue in the shop
I think the check out chick thought I was weird
no comment RG :mocking: you know I wanna be good :winkextra:
But serious I was keeping all shiny but ended up with hundreds sitting there so put them back and now only keep old one's, got one that you'd like a 69 and would be VF, if the sun is out tomorrow I might try and get a pic but don't expect a pic like Marks :laugh2:
69 50 cent sorry, if anyone wants anything kept just yell out as there's about 4 2013 50's that will go back and I'm that way I'm even tossin back cuds as I have so many coins and getting to many of the same coin so trying to limit what I keep to better errors and the like..I must stop noodling and sort a heap out but I just can't as I have to find bubbles :laugh2: If they are rareish than I want as many as I can get :) Been doin a few hundred every few days but a lot of the time they're the same bloody coins but I'd get about 5 to 20 2012 50 cent depending and would get between 2 and 5 on average and think I'm around the 30 mark now but have given about 20 away so I'm doin ok, just hope they end up worth something :)
I think you've cornered the market in bubbles, AJ. You sure you aren't making them yourself? :D
Pedro
MUST HAVE ALL BUBBLES, need more more MORE MORE :shock:
HAHAHAHA nah mate, but I have been thinking for quite sometime and especially after every time I look at the 98 50 as I think they might have a packet of button from Flinders jacket that have fallen in to the mix..true, look at the button then tell me my bubble don't look the same :laugh2: I've been meaning to say that for a while but never got around to it :winkextra:
I found my 1st 2012 50c bubble last night, so now I have 2! :angel:
woohoo good on ya Nevol :good: so they are finally making it around, just wish I knew how many :)
QuoteYou sure you aren't making them yourself?
I have a spring loaded centre punch. I reckon one of those might make good bubbles [at least good enough for Larena to declare it a variant].
hehe yeah I have one as well and done it Jeff and not quite the same but it did look like pmd that someone else posted :winkextra:
lately I have found about 10 coins both 20 and 50 cent that someone has "tried" drilling but stuffed their bit by the look of the bluing around the hole :mocking: but they weren't all together and they use about a 5 to 6mm bit so if you see any getting around I didn't do it :laugh2: I really didn't, just found them :)
I think that a bubble might involve a punch hitting the die - the 2010 20c bubble, is raised on the coin, so a depression is in the die.
yes it's a mystery alright and be interesting to know what does it and how many more coins over the years will end up with the same mark
just got a little sun so here's that 69 RG, what'd ya reckon VF or maybe a little better :)

Nicely done Mate :wavemulticolor:
Here is a pic of it, I've never looked at coins for cud errors but I notice that the 2000 rabbit ear coin sells for close to $20, so I will start looking out for it, I usually get about 7-10 2000 $1 coins a week.
I also found a very weakly struck New Zealand 20 cent coin as well.

e/h where can you get $ 20 for a 2000 r/e dollar , sounds too much for me ? I have only ever gotten $ 4.00 for mine .. ,, kel ,,
nice find EH ;)
There is one dealer on EBay stating that the "rare 2000 $1 coins". I have just counted five for my latest noodl;ing search and I find a reasonable amount of them.
Maybe the word RARE attracts that much.
I get exited every time I find a 2000 $1 coin in my change.
Then I find it isn't a mule and put it back in the pond Bugger :dash1:
had a bit of a tidy up and this isn't all but a lot of the 50's I've put aside with some sort of error or variety so I have to do something with them as I'm just getting way too many so what do I do with them :(

I tried doing a pic with the phone this morning, but it does not resize.... Does not even tell you the size of the photos taken either.
Anyway, here are a couple of pics of the 1991 proof.
The quality of the light makes a big difference. I spotted it under fluorescent light, and it took seeing the year to confirm it for me.
In sunlight it is much more clearly a proof.

hi guys
- do I have this one right
it is a normal 50c (ie not incused?)
I made up a jpeg of both variety types and matched it up against normal

Easiest way to tell is look at the large star. Notice it has a rough bottom? The incused one is smooth, as you can see in this rather poor ebay piccy:

I found a 2011 Rams head 'C' mint mark $1 last night.
Designs that are clearly different to 'normal' circulating coins stand out, but I often wonder how many of the other good condition (or even well worn) coins you can find have been broken out of packaging and spent.
Here is one I eBay "Noodled" for $25 :)

thanks guys
yes I do have one Trout
cause you sent it to me
I tell ya - I can't get my head around this die variety - but I'll keep at it until i get it - it took me a few thousand 1933 pennies to finally get the 1933/32 die variety - as soon as it crystallised I was tight - can spot them at 5 paces now
and silly me - I went straight to my pics and not to the coin in the album
i'll do that tonight (on lunch ATM)

I must have been very lucky because I recently noodled through 55kg
of pennies and 1/2 pennies and picked out 12 x 1933/32 overdates but also got about 35 x 1939 roo halfpennies
Nice haul there Stevo mate.. Just wondering if anyone has heard anymore about this one yet?? I know a lot were saying that this is PMD, I'm still on the fence about it, at the moment I am just looking for multigrips that make similar markings, testing on some old demented coins that I've found in circulation but none have come close yet. I don't think that this is a "vice" marking, only because I haven't seen any vices with this grooving.

Would have been reported long ago if it was. :)
As for the serrations, we've pretty much settled on PMD caused by a coin handling machine of some sort. There are too many around, and on all sorts of years, to be anything else.

Found these two during the last few months, I've tagged both as PMD, but not 100% sure that they are.
10c 2008 Rev PMD Duo - actually looks like a strike through to me, but where would a piece of metal that shape come from? Could a sliver like that get sliced off another coin during the minting process?

50¢ is a cold shut that detached.
10¢ looks like impact damage, but the edges are far too sharp. Perhaps a strikethrough maybe? No idea what the object might have been though. But not PMD, IMO.
I had a 50¢ with the same edge loss as that one. I think I might have thrown it back!
A quick noodling session this morning of $100 of 20¢ turned up a few interesting ones.
The scan doesn't show the full brilliance of this one...

Quote from: 'ausjack' pid='36710' dateline='1386646270'so a die scratch is straight lines like these and die crack are crooked is that right ?
No....
A die scratch is generally a straight line, from a harsh cleaning. Sometimes you get many parallel lines. Speared roos for example often have multiple scratches.
A die crack can be anything, from a tiny straight line like on the millennium flags or smithy's wingtip, to some of the monster lightning bolts you see on predecimals.
Its not the shape, but the look of them that tell you which is which. Cracks are generally more random.
Oh, and Mark, he gets naming rights on the new one, not the volunteers, which is well-known already. ;)

I have at least 6 of the 2003 with the Die Polish Lines (DPL's) through the design on the left side. I could put up piccies, but they're all basically the same as AJ's, but one of mine looks like the die was very worn.
Haven't seen the 13 cud before though. :angel:
This has a lump of metal on the design as indicated. I have about 4 of these, but I think they all occur separately from the DPL's.

Question
Is this wear?
or is it an extremely soft strike error?
Those rims look a little too high for it to be wear alone
At most it might be a beach side find but wouldn't the rims be worn down as equally?
I was wondering about the rims too
me also and that's why I was keeping it, when I finally get to see Mark and a few others they might be ableto enlighten me as to a few things I have that I don't know if PMD or a real error so I HAVE to keep them :)
how much does it weigh?
usually the true test of the soft strike error
if you have scales that weigh small increments
That 50c has the look of a weak strike rather than PMD. Put it on some scales.
One for AJ ......

About a week ago Nevol posted a picture of a 50¢ with a partially missing edge. Detached cold shut?
Well here is one I noodled this morning. Detached sliver of metal has remained just attached, folded over and struck through -well and truly welded onto the coin and a distinct relief (raised portion) crescent resulting.
That is my interpretation of the event anyway but, feel free to offer an alternative explanation.

Opposite rim looks normal to me.
However, I was so busy studying the reverse I only gave the obverse a most cursory glance. It has some missing rim on the same segment of the edge.

Blakesley effect is only found on coins that have been rimmed in the upsetting mill. 50c coins are not rimmed prior to striking. I suspect because they are not round.

Couldn't be. If it was struck through, it would have been impressed into the coin. Being raised it has to be a die scratch or crack. I vote crack, given the shape, though it
is an odd spot for it.

Oh and the other day went thru $600 in fifties in one day and I can tell you that's a mission and a half ;)
I go through 1000 fifties each day of three or four days a week.
man how in the hell do you do it GS as I found 1200 in one day really took it's toll on me and my poor little peepers, and I need a better loupe as well as mine is just an elcheapo from the markets but it does the job, it's just a little small and I'd like a big one with a halo light, so we better win lotto :good:

Well, when I dug out my bubbles to show Goldy, I only had one type 1
(though I know I've got a couple more stashed somewhere), vs 17 type 2 and a dozen or so type 3. That's not good from about 20 sacks. This sack I picked up on the way to Goldy's produced zero bubbles, which was all the more galling. :(
I've slowed down a bit at the moment due to the domestic crisis, but before this I was going through about 6 or 7 sacks a week, of whatever denomination takes my fancy. And back in the day I used to get through $10-50k a week, mostly in dollars. But back then I had time, space and better eyesight. ;)
I pass all my coins, regardless of denomination, under a jewellers desk lamp that has a flouro light around a 15cm magnifying glass. I normally look only for the most obvious error/variety using this method.
However, the past couple of days, I have been using my x2 and x4 Microscope to look at the 2012 50c Pieces for the Type 1,2 and 3 Circles and other viarieties as Fulvio has stated in another topic.
If I find a variety/error with the jewellers light, I then examine it with the Microscope to see that the error/variety is in fac t a variety/error.
Here are photos of the two apparatus I speak of.
don't know about the microscope but I'd love one of those lights but with big magnification, nice set up GS :good:
Quote from: 'ausjack' pid='37824' dateline='1387682657'I'd love one of those lights but with big magnification
Not gonna happen... the way optics work, lenses get smaller as the magnification goes up.

Quote from: 'ausjack' pid='37850' dateline='1387704156'hubble :)
Special case. Its more electronics than optics. Which is how they managed to fix it.
I'm not saying you can't get high magnifications, but the lenses get ridiculously large and expensive very quickly.

A very nice lamination Goldie!
Good pickup Kel! I think that's getting close to the extra large / huge version.
That's not extra large, that's HUGE.
Another incused millenium 50¢ for me this morning. :yahoo:
Well done Jeff!
I haven't seen one for ages.
Um, I have nine as spares..........
Well, blow me down!
An incused millennium this morning (from $70 of 50¢ in a moneybox banked yesterday).
And.....another tonight (similar, but only $50 of 50¢ in this lot).
It is said that good/bad things come in threes -I can't wait to test that old wives' tale!
Anyway; two incused in one day must be a record?
wow awesome finds, well done Jeff :good:
Wow, I think that would be a record, especially from the total $ checked!
That's 3 in the past 2 days isn't it?
I got a C mintmark NCLT Kingsford Smith $1 from $100 today.
Always nice to find NCLT that have escaped into the wild. I like to make a guess how long they have been roaming. I have found a few proofs that are barely recognisable as such -so, on the prowl for some years.
Why do people do that?
Quote from: 'Mister T' pid='39351' dateline='1389345738'I got a C mintmark NCLT Kingsford Smith $1 from $100 today.
I found exactly the same thing 2 days ago.
Well circulated and at first glance I thought it was a 'normal' one, then I noticed the 'map'.
I just assume it's the lure of the pokies that gives these coins their freedom.
And it seems like this one in particular had a reasonably high mintage (102,000 I think) and I recall someone else finding another one a week or so ago.

Here's another one - roo shoulder lump with bonus dots

This is like shooting fish in a barrel!
Pedro
I put this down to poor quality control as older coins are so much harder to find error but the newer the coin the more errors and I really notice it more from the late 90's it really started to go bad for the mint and getting worse, don't look at any 2013's as I have heaps of errors just like the 2012, but I see no one has put up the shield cuds yet :winkextra: Yeah it's a small barrel with a lot of fish Pedro :laugh2:
I have the 2013s put away for another day AJ!
Didn't notice any 2012 shield cuds as there was so much else there! Will have to have another look at some stage.
Pedro
I went through 500 20c pieces today. Nothing to get excited about and there were no Centenary of Federations/Bradmans and only one Kiwi.
ok here's just a few 2013's for ya's. You won't have to look to hard Pedro :winkextra: and yeah I have the same problem Mister T :(
not saying about these you's tell me :mocking: oh and on the one with the shoulder the emu also have a few, just sick of taking pic's sorry :)

I'm calling the bottom one the bawling roo :laugh2:
The roo has a nasty rash on his arm too! :D
Pedro
nah that's why it's the bawling roo and not crying :) mate I find that many that I put more back in the pond as I just can't aford to keep them all :( and I want better errors so I know there's people here who would love to look through the rejects that I put back in the pond :)
this was the coin with the emu as well and heaps of the tinniest little cuds all over it
Here's a 2012 50c shield cud for you AJ
[attachment=2642]
Pedro
hehe told ya, don't look too hard other wise none will go back and you'll end up like me with that many coins here I don't know what to do with them so I'll have another big tidy soon and put a heap back in the pond :winkextra:
Yeah, it took me all of two coins to find that one!
Pedro
Turned this one up last night. :biggrin:

hi GS
you have 400 rotated 2001 $1
that is amazing
i think we have one that i won in th epokies ... finito!! ha ha
Robbiegal-I have found approx. 450 X 2001 COF Upsets and made up four Clock face sets and sold one on EBay several years ago. I have sold many single coins on EBay to secure spending monies for our forthcoming Round The World Voyage and have given quite a few away when a now defunct Forum had a dinner in Canberra some years ago.
I have given a few away as "presents" and I still have 217 available.
Although I am still searching $1 coins for Mules/Errors/Upsets etc, they are really scarce to find now. According to my records, I have only found three 2001 Upsets in the past 6 months.

Goldie,
I think you may have contributed to making them hard to find...

Removed by author.
Hi Goldie,
I am not sure what you posted and removed.
I hope my post did not cause offence. It was not intended to.
I have a theory that, once released, coins tend to circulate within a geographical area.
If you have searched many coins (as you have) then that area will have less of the coins you have removed from circulation.
I think that you will now have less chance of finding things like mules and rotated dollars simply because there are less of them available now.
Ozcoins: No No No, your comment didn't hurt me. I was responding to a reply on page 1 of this topic. As I do not have the power to delete any comments I have made, I have to edit the comment completely and put in "Removed By The Author".
All is OK, comments don't hurt and you are entitled to have your say.

No way hossay. I put up an advert for all 2001 Upsets to come here and bingo, they just arrive.
No seriously. At one time I was noodling up to 2,700 $1 coins at each swap but then declined to around 2,000 coins at a time, three to four times a week.
Over time one gets to find quite a few errors, upsets, etc and that's how I do it.
I am now down to 500 $1 coins three to four times a week. Depends on my weekly outings. I am still noodling 2,000 50c pieces at each swap as well.
Quote from: 'Goldseeker' pid='39715' dateline='1389846409'I am now down to 500 $1 coins three to four times a week.
I must admit I've slacked right off since Xmas. Done pretty much nothing except pick up a partial sack of UNC 2013 $1. One of the bags is busted and I haven't even had the motivation to noodle it for errors... :(
This game is definitely more fun in the cooler months I reckon.
That's a lot of coins you are going through Goldie!
Yep, three to four times a week now, 500 x $1 coins and 2,000 x 50c at each swap......making up for the time I shall be away on our cruise.
Quote from: 'Goldseeker' pid='39754' dateline='1389871769'making up for the time I shall be away on our cruise.
As if you won't be noodling on board... where there's a casino, there's goldy sitting in the corner with a big pile of coins... ;)
That's pretty much what went through my mind too Fulvio.
I am wondering what proportion of coins on the ship he will manage to get his hands on during the cruise and what goodies he will come back with.
Quote from: 'Ozcoins' pid='39772' dateline='1389876442'I am wondering what proportion of coins on the ship he will manage to get his hands on during the cruise and what goodies he will come back with.
I guarantee 120% of the coins on board will pass through his hands mate. And a couple might actually make it home as well! ;)
Problem is it's virtual currency on board. Spend what you like but it's all credit. They don't let you off until you settle up.
When Goldie walks up the gangway he gives up noodling cold turkey and gets a life! Some principal activities of the life are eating, drinking, sleeping and (in my case) lying on a lounge chair on deck with a book. Punctuated by the occasional shore excursion to jolt you back to a false sense of reality.
Not life as we know it -a hard job but someone has to do it. I am sure Goldie is up to it.
We are wandering off thread, I think. Just to get back; a 1992 20¢ in my noodling last night.
I went noodling today-500 X $1 coins and this one turns up: Further, after going through 2000 x 50c pieces I found a Melbourne Cup 50c Piece, nice:

Thanks and it not the only one I have. I just put the above into my Gallery and noticed my others are not there. I shall fix that up over the next few days.
Nice find Goldie!
I have never found any collar errors - yet.
Goldie I love the partial collar errors but I've only ever found a 5c
Joe
Great find Goldy! :yahoo: Well done! :wavemulticolor:
Thanks for all your comments one and all. I have just completed the posting of all my "broads" up in the Gallery if you want to have a peek.
Found this in a lot of 20¢ last night.
Seen better days but, I don't think there would be many florins still on the loose now.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/1954_florin.jpg)
Nice find. It's amazing what is in circulation out there. :)
Maybe we should have a competition for the most interesting coin found circulating?
No prize; just the honour and glory (and the acclaim of your peers)!
It's been a while since there has been a 'noodle frenzy'.
Must be time for another one!
are there many of these being found lately ???

Nothing good for a while, but 3(!!) rabbit ears and 1 2008 NCLT in my $1 searching today.
1 x 2000 rabbit ears and 2 x 2010 rabbit ears.
Nice one Goldie. I haven't struck one of those noodling.
Just did $1300 of $1 and NOT ONE RABBIT EAR! :fie:

Maybe you will get 3 rabbit ears in your next search too.
Trout,
They seem to take a lot of searching to find, but I am sure you will find one eventually
Nice work Jeff, Goldie & Oz. :wavemulticolor:

I would hazard a guess and say another coin has dropped onto the coin and left a rim mark on the face of the coin?? I see it lots in coins out of my vending machines
Don't know sorry Kel but interested to know if it's a new variety as it looks to have a gap but it might just be the angle of the pic :)
It's certainly longer than the normal 3 or 4 spot hit marks but I'd say Error Hunter's on the money (must have been hit at a real acute angle). It almost looks like it's grown a new set of 5 claws!
Good eyes for detail AJ, it does look like a gap, but as you say might be just the pic.
Poor little platy has been hit in the head pretty hard.
Quote from: 'Unicorn' pid='40980' dateline='1391424702'it does look like a gap, but as you say might be just the pic.
Can you get some pics from different angles? Be cool if there's another gapped variety here. Sad about the impact damage though. :(
Looks like a gap to me too. Nice find Kel! :yahoo:
The damage from the rim of the other coin sort of makes the platy appear to be surfboarding. JMHO. :winkextra:
the best I can get and I find it hard to believe that the dropping of a coin in a vending machine would hit so hard as to make an imprint like that on another coin , it also looks like the extra claws to me also but I cant believe it would only happen to just one coin if it was a genuine error.so I will return it to the pond to do more circulation ..
,, kel ,,
looks like a very small gap there . ,, kel ,,

(http://i62.tinypic.com/x60tvm.jpg)
(http://i59.tinypic.com/rbmzvs.jpg)
I don't think the damage happened in a vending machine, more likely to have occurred at the RAM as the coins are ejected into the big hoppers.
I see it on quite a few coins, sometimes only a small amount of the milling is visible, sometimes a larger amount, as is the case with your coin.
Don't return it to the pond, it's still a gap and worth hanging onto IMO. :angel:
Another one to add to the noodling check list!
Just looked at the 2013 I have but no gaps.
Quote from: 'Nevol' pid='40998' dateline='1391467261'Don't return it to the pond, it's still a gap and worth hanging onto IMO. :angel:
:agreed: definitely worth the 20 cents to hang onto it. But don't bother getting it slabbed though... its not
that good. LOL :diablo:
This one has me a bit stumped. Came across it a few weeks ago and immediately thought "PMD" and put it to one side. I got to look at it under the USB microscope tonight and it's got a few characteristics of lamination rather than being gouges.
The obverse:
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10124/Obverse_gouge.jpg)
And close-ups of the three "gouges"
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10124/Gouge_1.jpg)
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10124/Gouge_2.jpg)
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10124/Gouge_3.jpg)
The three characteristics that suggest lamination to me are:
a) The texturing on the bottom of the "gouge" that is inconsistent with gouging or "punching/striking"
b) no clear start for an implement to gouge; and
c) the roughness of the edges.
On the other hand I thought the odds of finding a coin with three distinct and separate areas of lamination was a bit on the high side.
Anyone have a strong opinion one way or the other.
The images were from a macro lense and I've got a couple from the USB scope if you like.
Thanks in Advance.
Steve
Quote from: 'Steveqld' pid='41074' dateline='1391591710'This one has me a bit stumped.
Definitely cold shuts, not PMD. Very unusual to find three on the same coin, and it looks like its not a single fault surfacing in multiple places.
My guess is some metal shavings got rolled into the sheet and subsequently parted company in circulation.
---
On closer inspection, there is a fourth one on the rim south of the E in the third pic, and possibly a couple of really tiny ones up around the T.
Many thanks. Good pickup re the rim near the first E in Elizabeth. Seems to be a few minor "cold shuts". There appears minor flaking above the second E in Elizabeth, a thin piece of wire or similar across the II

and another small piece of wire leading to the crossbar on the middle A in Australia (first closeup).

Quote from: 'Goldseeker' pid='41506' dateline='1392270633'Found this one today and am wondering why it remained in circulation until today:
No telling when it parted company. It probably spent most of its life intact, accumulating all that wear and tear, till finally it all got too much for the poor thing. :angel:
Lovely lamination Goldie!
Yes and thanks. Next to one of my Smithy $1's, this one must b e up there with the best lamination flaw in my collection.
By the way, whilst noodling this day, I got a "C" Mint Mark Holey Dollar out of two sacks of $1 coins.

Nice chunk out of that $1 coin mate....
Here's a 10 cent that grabbed my attention, I still can't work out what causes the background to be like that. Have 3 or 4 10 cent coins with the same look. Only difference is this one shown has a couple of extra goodies on it. Cheers

Hmmm..I reckon that 10c is either a 1999 or 2008. Very worn die IMO. :angel:
Quote from: 'Nevol' pid='42180' dateline='1392779328'Very worn die IMO.
Not convinced that's the answer. I've had examples from very early in the production run that had that crazing. I tend to lean towards some problem with the chroming... perhaps they got either the soup or the voltage levels wrong? It wouldn't take much to produce orange peels.
Something just came to me... have we seen orange peels on non-chromed dies? Earlier predecimals? That would torpedo my theory. ;)

I reported somewhere in this thread that I found a 1966 50c piece whilst noodling so time ago. I did the same thing today. Yahoo.
Further, I found a new 2010 Variety and have called it a 2010 Flea In The Ear. Have a look:
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/2014-02-20_14-56-56_0885.jpg)(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/2014-02-20_14-57-23_0886.jpg)
I have had a real good close look under magnification and there definitely is a thin raised line protruding from the ear to the right, a small break then an very small indent. Could be the start of a rabbit ear but not sure.
Nice find Goldie! Gee the 2010 is definately providing some variation.
RG, I'm pretty sure Goatieman is but he's been very quiet here and CCF for a while now. Hope he's ok.
Quote from: 'Goldseeker' pid='42296' dateline='1392892020'Could be the start of a rabbit ear but not sure.
Definitely.
Which leads one to wonder why we haven't really seen early-stage "fleas" on the other years. Maybe they were too worn from years in circulation by the time we noticed the error?
Quote from: 'Fulvio' pid='42310' dateline='1392912456'Definitely. Which leads one to wonder why we haven't really seen early-stage "fleas" on the other years. Maybe they were too worn from years in circulation by the time we noticed the error?
There were 'flea in the ear' $1 coins in 2009. I have at least 1, but I think Goldy may have more as I'm pretty sure he posted about them on ACBO. I've dug up some old images and will add them to this post soon.
Here they are. Dates I took the images are also noted. Images 1 & 3 are from the scope, the others are all scans.

OMG I found a $1 mule today and being no expert in grading comparing it to others that are grade 58 mine.
What do you think this will grade at as I am sending it off to get slabbed.

Way to go error hunter!? :yahoo:

Do you reckon Error Hunter now belongs to the .....
Mule High Club?
:mocking: (oops, bought the wrong vowel).
Congratulations error hunter!
I found a large 'cracked' $1 today. My best find in a little while.
Nice find Error Hunter. Pity it is off centre though. I would be happy to see the Slabbing/Grading results.
Several of my own Mules are off centre and on par with yours.

That's a good find. Well done.
It was an odd find, I opened a vending machine and away from every other coin almost in a look at me out here by myself was this coin, it was in a spot in the bucket coins don't normally land and the bucket wa s2 inches deep in coin, I couldn't believe it when I saw it but I knew exactly what it was when I saw it.
Great catch! :yahoo:
Forum members have had some great finds lately.
Wifey and I went up to see the turtle hatchings at Mon Repos last week so I took the opportunity to pick up some coins to noodle when we got back. Among the usual dribble was:

Now just to decide what to do with it.
Great finds error hunter and steveqld! Both extremely tough coins.
Well done Steve! :yahoo:
Friday last I bought $400 of 50¢ from local which bank branch to noodle over the weekend. When I started looking there was something strange -lots of very lustrous coins (cartwheels even) and many earlier years with very little wear or marking!
Here is a random sample of some I kept;

Today I returned $300 rejects and asked the obvious question -"An old man, who has been saving them ever since decimal started, cashed them in". They had another $400 with the same packing date so I bought them; fingers crossed for tonight. No ramsheads or incused but, who knows with the next batch.
And, "do you want any dollars too? He brought a lot of them in also."
MORAL; cultivate the friendly tellers and be nice to them. You never know when they might come up trumps.
Some lovely coins there Jeff.
The 1993 looks great!
So did you get the $1 coins? (or is that a silly question).
QuoteSo did you get the $1 coins? (or is that a silly question).
Not a silly question. I didn't have enough cash to get the $1 coins. Going back first thing tomorrow to claim them. Otherwise they will probably go with Armaguard on Thursday!
That 1993 was one of four.
And, just turned an incused getting into the next batch.
One of four! Geez Louise!
Pics of the incuse when you get the chance eh!
Jeff's hit the mother lode - imagine what will be in the dollars!:yahoo:
Pedro
QuotePics of the incuse when you get the chance
For what it's worth -not so good condition compared to a lot of the other coins. But, an incused is an incused and still good to find.
Not so sure about the $1 coins. They weren't packed when received but just put in the coin drawer. So what was since packed could be them or could be others that came in (and some of the cashed in ones may have been given out). Anyway I got $500 to have a look so, fingers crossed.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/March_2014_3.jpg)
That incised 50c still looks reasonably good.
Good luck with the $1 searching.
The bank I go to for coins has been out of coins all week, so no noodling for me.
Yeah I found that as well Jeff a few months ago now when I found about $50 in a $400 bag that someone had done what I'm doing now and had a huge clean up so now I'm sorting all them and just picking out the really good one's and sending some of to members now and then just as a little thank you as it's better than putting nice coins back in the pond. Good finds mate and give ya a warm fuzzy when ya do :good:
Ok ok ya breakin me balls so here are some of my recent finds and sorry for the crappy pic's :)
a slight double, double tail MOR and I have found 2 of them now :winkextra:

Die clash maybe? Any other signs on the field?
Nope, just that mark..maybe a diecrack, but really don't know sorry
I went through 500 x $1 coins and 2000 x 50c coins today for the following:
1 x Rams Head $1 "C" Mint Mark
1 x Gallipoli $1 "C" Counterstamp
1 x 1981 50c Flaking Obv
1 x 1971 50c Flaking Obv
1 x 2010 Rotated 50c.
In all, one of my better days of noodling.
yeah I found my second counter stamp as well, an 09 "C" mint mark so thanks for reminding me GS :hi: But yeah the same, $500 and might keep a couple if lucky
Last Thursday.
27 February at Crown Casino (formerly Burswood Casino) Perth.
A nice gambling win; almost certainly the last I will find. As most of the poker machines have been changed to give out paper slips rather than coins it is unlikely I will go there again.

Were you playing or noodling or both?
How many coins would you have looked at?
Coins in gambling machines seem to be dying a rapid death. The owners are after notes, not coins.

Roughly 12,000 coins. But it was more than 100,000 since I last found one two years ago.
I wasn't playing the machines. I didn't feel the urge to increase the gap between my wealth and that of Mr Packer.
Well done Feathers!!!
I'd be there for a month to look through 12,000!
Well done Emu.

Here is a selection;
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/March_2014_6.jpg)

Check the "Dancing Man" and the 1985. I like those two particularly.

Nice haul, but I can't see anything remarkable about the '99, '01 and '02.
I just said a "selection" meaning, ones I will probably keep (plus a few others). Not claiming they are remarkable but, they are much better than usually found.
Ok just gone thru $50 in 5's and found this :(

Mother Lode Revisited
Took the last of the $1 coins back to the bank and the teller mentioned that though I had seen all from their strong room she thought some may have gone into the cash drawers.
So, she raided the cash drawers and raised $200. Mostly just rubbish but three bags each had nineteen 1984 (including one flea on the ear) and the twentieth coins in each were, respectively 1985, 1985 and 1986 (Peace). Big majority were EF, or better, and only four I assessed as less than VF.
So, a quick and productive noodling session there!
Sounds like it was well worth your while!
Gee, you have a helpful bank there Jeff.
I got a $2 with a rim cud recently, I do not have any of them yet, so that was nice.
I did another 500 x $1 coins and 2000 x 50c coins on Monday, yesterday and I got another incuse 50c piece and nothing else.

yep me too E H , plenty normal ones but we are talking about the offsets ones hard to find ..and about $ 15.00 to $ 20.00 ea if you find them..
,, kel ,,
Hi one and all.
Firstly it is not an offset but an UPSET. Although I have done thousands of $1 coins this year, I have only found three upsets.
However, tonight I went through 2000 x 50c pieces and 500 x $1 coins again and found 1 x Melbourne Cup Anniv 50c piece, (that's the second one found in a couple of weeks) and another 50c incuse.
Nothing found in the $1 coins.
Nice finds Jeff and Goldie!

it's a fake Steve :mocking: Nice find mate, yet to find one like that :good:
This one's a keeper -brilliant lustre. Pity about the rim.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/March10.jpg)
It's funny how certain designs have been hoarded and the coins turn up in good condition.
In the 50c coins, I tend to find nice:
1970 Cook, 1977 jubilee, 1981 wedding, 1982 games, 1988 bicentennial, 1991 Ram
On the other hand older CofA coins tend to not show up in nice condition, so you do not find nice 1985 or 1993 coins.
Gee that's pretty good for a noodling find.
come on Jeff, fess up you got that from a mint roll or set :laugh2: ok ok nice find mate :winkextra:
Found another Melbourne Cup 150th 50c yesterday so that makes the third find of these in several weeks.
Well done Goldseeker!
The only NCLT I can remember finding in 50c is a 1986 50c
Very uncommon to noodle one of these in a high grade!

After not finding much for a while, I got 2 NCLT and a 'rabbit ears' $1 today.
The NCLT is a 1991 MOR and a 2011 RAM 'D'
Nice one Oz, I also found my first 84 rabbit ears along with a few other things..and 2 more 72 5 cent and 2 more SA 50 cent and haven't they been a long time between drinks as it's been about 3 or 4 years from the last one so they are getting harder and harder to find ;)
A 2010 upset 50¢ and a 1986 (mint set only year) 50¢ this morning!
Also a nice error (I think). I will open another thread , when I have some pics, because I need opinions to be sure, to be sure.
{What! St. Patricks day was nearly two weeks ago?}
Wow, nice finds Jeff, I'm still to find a 2010 upset :(

Good work AJ. The arm cud is a newie, geez you're gonna wreck my eye! :laugh2:
It's really funny, I've been keeping and super checking every 1999 Older Persons (spittle for Robster) for ages and have been building up to make a full set of die fills on the text. (Not quite a Goldie clock but an interesting exercise).
Sorry Uni but I can go back to keeping them all a secret :winkextra: If I have any your after please yell out and I'll send them down :good:
:laugh2: you're a blast AJ!
No secret with that one. I think there might be thread somewhere where I had the "old persons spittle" term coined by Robster. I think it started me looking for them.
It's all good mate, I've still got to sort out a return package for the last lot you sent down!!!!
I'm a bit behind at the moment with so may things breaking down, I haven't had a chance to do much else but fix things.

I am still a magnet for the NCLT's, oh and the Incuses.
Nice finds Goldy.! :good:
You're doing very well Bruce. Great finds! :yahoo: :wavemulticolor:
great find bruce , I am still having trouble picking out the incused ones out of my $ 300.00 worth of .50 cents . ,, kel ,,
I have found that a bright light above the coins will reflects very well off the "incuse cross" of the coin. That is how many of mine have been sighted.
thanks bruce , I will try that from now on .. ,, kel ,,
Well done Goldseeker!
It helps a lot to know if you know where to look.

The wingtip crack is the only error I've ever seen on smithy's. Seems to come in small and large versions, small being quite common.

Flaws don't count. Because they're both random and unique. :P
:dodgy: why did I know you were gonna say that :whistle2: but it is an error in the making of the metal so I'll say it's an error for now :boredom:

Pfft. We've had this discussion before... Flaws are no more errors than varieties are! Next you'll be calling Pigs, Dogs and Sheep the same too, just cos they have four legs. :P
:laugh2: yes, many a time but it's always good to go fishin anyway and you nearly always bite so it's all good :friends:

Hooray for alphabet soup!
I love a good die fill. Collect a whole set AJ!

Quote from: 'Unicorn' pid='45506' dateline='1396401541'Hooray for alphabet soup!
I love a good die fill. Collect a whole set AJ!
Likewise. People think I'm nuts, but I keep them even if the letters aren't all gone, like with AJ's tax fills.
And speaking of fills, AJ, why have you started trimming the quote tags so we can't tell what's quote and what's reply? You need to leave the [] tags in place, mate. With the quote before and the /quote after the bit you're attributing. Like so
(minus the spaces):
[ quote='Unicorn' pid='45506' dateline='1396401541' ]
...edit this bit down as short as you like, but leave the tags intact...[ /quote ]
Or you can even remove the name, pid and date fields if you like, say when you're quoting an external source:
Quote"You want the truth? You can't handle the truth!"
You should know by now that I do what I want ;) but I haven't just started as I just cut paste and sometimes I'll do the 'new reply' quote thingy :dance:

It is cool, yeah. I thought "cold shut" from that pic, but its a bit on the small side...
Nice cud on the legend too.. most of them never made it past the bubbling pre-cud stage. And isn't it funny how only certain coins seem to have cleaning scratches?
I'll try and get a better pic tomorrow in day light and yes it is funny how it's only some coins that get the polish lines ;)
Went noodling today through 500 x $1 and 2000 x 50c coins and ended up with 8 x 1966 50c pieces at face value.
A lady tried to put the 1966 50c pieces through the counting machine and they got caught up in the reject chute but didn't fall down into the pickup slot. I was there as the bank lady opened the covers and I saw the round fifties siting there. She allowed me to take them and I bought them for 50c each over the counter.
I am a happy man.
You are blessed Goldie! What no incuse? :angel: I suppose the 8x66 make up for that eh!
AJ thanks for posting those, I don't think I've seen them before.
gee your goin off GS, well done mate :good:
No wuckers Uni, told ya I have heaps that I haven't seen posted and I think there's more yet mate :winkextra: I have no idea what I have any more as it's just a mess :( but I have them here :good:

so were these a customers' coins? the customer said you could have them for the 50c each? really?
Had a bit of a 50c and $1 noodle but got a sinking feeling pretty quickly:
First bag of 50c - mostly 2000 Millenniums
Second bag - mostly 1998s
Third bag - mostly 2004 Student
Fourth bag - mostly 2005s (and not a cud in sight - impossible!) .. and so on.
Nett result:
- 1982 aUNC (the previous noodler must have some nice coins if this was a cast off!)
- 2001 NT
- 2012 double dot
Dollars were no better. A heap of 1996 and 1997s.

Not quite. The customer had loaded them into the counting machine and the coins had been held up inside the same. I just retrieved them when the bank teller opened the doors on the counting machine. The coins were the banks so they allowed me to have them at face value.

This is why I always go for Armaguard, not customer bags. Nothing worse than noodling someone else's rejects. Oh wait, yes there is... I once saw Goldy noodle his own rejects they gave him back again! :dodgy:

bY THE WAY, ANY LUCK WITH THE NEW $1 COIN?
Quote from: 'Goldseeker' pid='45778' dateline='1396600635'bY THE WAY, ANY LUCK WITH THE NEW $1 COIN?
Nup. I'm betting the mint had second thoughts when people pointed out they were a year early, and are delaying them.
Then again, there are no new coins of any denomination out there... maybe they just overdid it over xmas, and there's no demand for new coin at the moment.
Anybody seen a 2013 No SD 5¢?
Its probably die fill, but something about it just looks wrong to me...
Yeah, yeah, I know.. pics or it didn't happen... I'll get onto that just as soon as I get around to picking up that round TUiT I ordered... ;)
Here it is. Procrastinate no longer.

Straight to the pool room with that one.
My wife wants one.
My Brother in law got one of these made in wood a couple of years ago for Christmas, Nothing has changed at his place tho :)
got this one at the paper shop while getting the paper today at Caboolture ..the date is 2010
[attachment=2739]
Nice one Keldaw!
I do not have one of those.
I have not done any noodling for a while as more serious activities have taken priority.
Hopefully get back to it soon.
:( didn't know if to put this in world coins or noodle

and here's some more just for Uni :)
tail cud

major melt
(http://i61.tinypic.com/24qik43.jpg)
a bar behind the emu, very strange and never seen one like it
(http://i57.tinypic.com/13zvajc.jpg)
nice 82 inside leg mark

nose cud and melt down cheek

fat

like a die crack running down the emu's back like an extended feather
(http://i58.tinypic.com/16gz8h.jpg)
and this is funny as it looks nice and pretty with cartwheel but look close and it looks sort of pitted, very strange

Some wonderful finds A.J.!! Love the 'bar' very unusual.!! :yahoo:
Is that a second fat Millennium AJ?
I got a quarter in a bag of $1s recently as well.
Pedro
yeah I thought so as well Robster, been having a few ok finds but haven't been noodling much so can't expect to find much :)
nah 3 now Pedro :yahoo:
Quote from: 'Robster' pid='46505' dateline='1397529482'Some wonderful finds A.J.!! Love the 'bar' very unusual.!! :yahoo:
Very nice. I'm thinking die clash maybe?
And that last one looks like dirty dies perhaps?
oh and forgot, I found this very strange as I found all these in one $20 bag

The Pommy Pounds are worth more than Aus $. win.!!
You're doing fairly nicely there AJ. :yahoo:
My comments follow:
Emu tail cud, seen it, I've got just 1 (I think)
Major melt, probably seen it, depending on the year
Bar behind emu, can't remember ever seeing it, but like Fulvio said, could be die clash, but I think only if 85, 93, 96 or 97
82 inside leg mark, can't remember ever seeing it
nose cud, melt down cheek, probably seen it, depends on denomination & year,
fat millennium letters, fairly common, got heaps somewhere
die crack down the emu's back, can't remember ever seeing it
So some of your finds may well be new discoveries. :wavemulticolor:
:yahoo: and some might soon be yours mate :friends:
ok so just had a suss, 80 for the tail cud but I'll have to find the other one I have to see if same date.
yeah melts are common on anything after 99 and same as the face melts.
the bar behind the emu is 79.
die crack down back is 78 :good:

:laugh2: no comment
no no no NO NOOOOOOOOO :cray: see see what I mean about getting crap coins all the time, my first rotated 2010 and just look at it :( But also found an other die clash so I'll be back with a scan or pic shortly :)

Mark and I went through about $1,000 at the pokies last night. He found nothing whilst I continued my winning streak (I seem to have luck on my side this week) and found my first 2001 Fed Upset -9 o'clock, 2010 rabbit and a 2000 HMAS Sydney Cmm.
Sorry Mark but well done PP, few nice finds mate so keepin the dream alive :good:
That's the spot I look for AJ. I think most years from 2004 (from memory). There's also a couple of different shapes I've noticed which has me a little puzzled. Will hopefully get them sorted soon so I can see what years are involved.
Well done PPH! Noodling is such a great past time.
Congratulations AJ on the rotated 50c. They are a favourite of mine.
Yeah that'd be good Uni and thanks Oz, mate are they hard to find as I must have gone thru thousands and thousands of coins to find one but now I have one I only have to find one better :good:
Found this afternoon, looked at first to be wear and tear but under magnification showed up some fun stuff.!!
(http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o787/robster836/001_zps82da9588.jpg)
Cold shuts, die clashes, (E of PENNY) and leg of roo, gouge under letters, almond shaped mintmark.!!:scratch_one-s_head:
(http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o787/robster836/006_zps4fe591f6.jpg)
Your getting a lot better in the shed Robster, love how you got it to look like it's under the letters :laugh2: Sorry mate, nice find :friends: So what's the funny circle on the roo's nose, is it a water mark and just above that near the rim looks like a little 5
Yes, a watermark and a tiny cud right on the end of the roos' nose. Look like he is poking his tongue out.!! :angel: The five is a couple of small dings.!!
Nice planchet gouge there Robster, great that it goes under the date and confirms it was there before the coin was struck. Don't think I've seen one like that before.
Cool, thanks mate :good: What's the obverse like?
Very boring obverse.! :dodgy:
Nice one Robster! Very unusual.
Found the cleanest neatest 1988 Bi Centenary 50c coin today, looks like it came out of a mint set, best one I have found.
this is a little different..03 Uni :ok:
(http://i58.tinypic.com/2jfa8w8.jpg)
Good spotting AJ!
It's a $1 isn't it?
yeah mate, women's suffrage :good:
Not a rare date at all but, I really like to find a very nice one that has just come out of hiding.
Looks much better "in the hand" than the scans; brilliant lustre.

Still in very nice condition.
That 20c looks very nice Jeff!

so in this case I would swap the 20c and then give them another one!
Jeff - noice 2 bob there - they can get so beautifully toned and lustrous over the years, can't they?
never thought I'd find one but found a beauty today, a 2001 cent fed $1 upset its completely upside down giddeee up
It doesn't exist until you have shown us a picture!

A nice find CFV!
Well done!
I have not found a rotated $1 for a while now.
Nice pick-up! :yahoo:
Wow, great degree of rotation.!!
I just got an email from Eric, my mule graded at AU55 which is what I anticipated it to be.
would it be worth getting that 2001 Cent Fed upset slabbed aswell??
Probably be AU55 aswell
Sorry COV but I can't see anything wrong with that particular coin.
If you have found a rotated COF coin at 2180 degrees then you have hit the jackpot.
Of the 480 odd rotated 2001 COF Coins that I have found, only three were rotated at 180 degrees.

Sorry but I am not following "2180" degrees??
When I turn the coin around instead of the queens head being at 12 oclock were it should be it is at 7 oclock
I suspect Goldie meant 180 degrees.

Thanks ozcoins, it was meant to be 180 degrees. Darn fingers, wrong keys(s).
I finally worked it out that your picture was in fact a movie.
Keep looking as there must be a lot more out there.
This is my best one yet of these. A little wear but well free of the usual gross marking that plagues circulation coins of recent years.
I would be interested to see comments on grade.

well done Jeff :good: your doing well with the upsets ATM and I wish I could grade so I'll leave that to the pro's but interested to see what they say.
Jeff wrote "usual gross marking that plagues circulation coins of recent years"
Totally agree. Mate that is so true and I'd like to know what's going on as some coins I have been getting in the last two years especially have been absolutely shocking and the amount of glue and goop and even the green death all over them near makes me sick sometimes and even on the newest of coins..it's just not cricket :(

aEF-VF30
That does look nice Jeff!
I happened to find another one of these last night too (also quite a nice example).
I also found a 1985 50c and a 1993 50c as well!
Well done Oz, bloody things are coming out of the woodwork everywhere ATM except here but I'll keep lookin :)
I thought you found one recently too AJ?
Gee, 1985 are few and far between now. I still turn up some 1993 but, it's months since a 1985 came along.
Yeah I did Oz but it's no where near as nice as Jeffs so I class it as still searching as mine would be lucky to make VG so it's a gap filler for now :)
Yeah I find it very funny how things come and go as I've just roughly sorted a $200 bag of 50's and to my surprise not one 01 fed and I normally find at least one and been about a month since my last 85 and got 2 93's in this bag so I better go see what else is there :bye2:
I also found no 2001 CofF state coins (which is unusual), but I am not complaining!
Wow that is unusual as I normally find heaps of them but the upsets are a bit harder, just done $500 in $1 and not much at all no rabbits no upsets just a few little cuds :( so I'll go suss these 50's after a little rest :)
Great finds Jeff, Oz & AJ.
your next mate :good:
Isn't noodling fun? That's two in two days!

Lucky duck! :yahoo:
Well done Jeff!
I found a circulated proof $1 yesterday.
It's been a while since I found a rotated $1 - I am hoping another one turns up soon.
Yesterday was a good day I found,
RAMs head 50c piece
Cpt Cook 50c piece
Tall ships 50c piece
1975 50c piece
2x2011 $2 coins
a $1 coin with a die crack from rim to rim from about 4 o'clock to 8 o'clock and you can feel the lifting of the surface
All 50c pieces in very good condition, all 50c pieces came out of the same machine, I think who ever works at the place where this machine is, is drip feeding their 50c collection into the machine?? I always get really good 50c pieces out of it.

Sounds like a nice lamination. :yahoo:
Overall, a nice haul.
I did my normal 500 x $1 and 2000 x 50c coins yesterday for a 2001 COF Upset at 245 degree.
Nice but if only it was at 246 degrees I could have used in my minute clockface.
Noodled some $1s and 50c. Not much in the dollars but had a little more luck with the 50c:
1977 (both in very nice nick
1988 (
1979 & 1980 double bars
1993 :yahoo:
Of the 8 2013s found in the rolls 7 had a least one cud. I still have a pile of other 2013s tucked away so at that rate I am expecting to see quite a few more cuds.
Pedro
The cuds, Are they on the $1's or 50c"s?
On the 50c Goldy.
Pedro
found this thing earlier, anyone wanna guess the date
(http://i62.tinypic.com/dq0nmb.jpg)
1980 something
:laugh2: your a trick mate, I have looked at it from all different angles and can't see anything there, think it might just might be an oil fill but I'll have to get someone else to have a look to confirm :)
its a 50c
Not a lot to choose from in the 80's once you take out the years where they were only in mint sets or were commemoratives.
Any differences in the Queen's head over those years?
Pedro
Yes 1985 onwards was a new design.
sorry it's not so good as usual but here's a bigger pic, yes there's only a few it can be and that 80 to 84 but I think it might be an 80
(http://i58.tinypic.com/10pambd.jpg)
Suppose you looked for a double bar AJ?
Pedro
yeah and even looked for a bubble, but it has neither :winkextra:

:yahoo: love ya work mate :friends:
:laugh2: you have to look harder hon, suss the 2012 20 cent you have above and look at the top of the '0' for some squiggles and I think there might be some on the 2013 if not yell out and I'll find one of them as well and another is chogm and look at the R in dollar and you'll see a weak strike (and yes very hard finding errors on chogm's), nearly every coin has multiple errors, I should have told you about them all but I thought it would be more fun for you to look and go OOOOOOO and I'm so stoked that you didn't have some so now I'm working on the next batch so sorry for holding out but I hope it was worth me keepin me big mouth shut :winkextra:
And see, they think I'm full of it when I say I find melts and things like that all over all sorts of coins so I'm glad some one else can confirm that I find what I say I find, unlike some people here I am pretty honest :(
I'm sure I have some 5 cent melts as well somewhere so I'll try and find them for you :good:
Oh and what did you think of the packing and being able to just pop them out and was it ok as in no coins come loose? Chees AJ
Oh that was the '2' sorry and not the '0' on the 20 cent
These came from my change in my workbag, Nothing spectacular but it shows that these are still out and about :ok:

Another 2001 CoF $1 upset last night -pretty well same angle as two others I have found.
My source of $1 coins for noodling is shrinking! Local laundrette banks around $1200 to $1500 at least every week (sometimes twice). They have just upgraded their dryers and they now take $2 coins; last banking was $700 of $1 and $500 of $2. No doubt they will get new washers soon and they will probably be $2 coins only as well.
Is it worth the time to noodle the $2 coins? Not as many varieties as other coins and only two commemoratives (see trout's post above).

That's a bit of a bugger! See how you go and if after a couple weeks you think it's not worth it, just try to get your Banks (all 2 of them) to keep you supplied with $1. Not all that easy I guess in a country town.
I am in the same boat. Went to change my coins at a particular CBC Bank and they have removed the bag coin machine for a box coin count machine.
Result, no more coin swaps.
Bugger.
What do you mean "bag coin machine" and "box coin machine"?
The only machine where I have seen what happens after the coins go into the machine, the security company comes and wheels away little trolleys from inside the machine and puts empty trolleys into the machine.

Certainly gives laundering money a whole new perspective!
(I promise I won't comment on the 'shrinking' or the 'rotating' coins :angel:).
You could mention the ones with soap scum and green spots on them. Laundry powder is rather corrosive.

When the bottom doors are opened, one can see plastic bags/sacks, two for each coin denomination hanging there. The coins are sorted, counted and drop into the bags/sacks. When the bag has the required number of coins in, the counting machine stops and a teller has to come along and change the full bag for an empty. And so the circuit continues.
Haven't seen any coin count machines with bins in them before.

OK, rechecked, have 2 x 2012 20c & 1 x 2013 20c with the marks above the 2. Can't see any difference in the R on the CHOGM coins, they all appear normal, but unless letters are missing completely I don't usually bother with die fill.
What are 'melts'? Is that your name for what I now refer to as a DeLam Die?
Re the packing, it was easy to get the coins out, there was one floating loose, but otherwise OK.

Hi Nevol, thanks for that and yeah sorry mate with the chogm as it's just a weak strike not like a missing letter and thank you, if the coins come loose I'll go back to cardboard on both sides, just had it there and thought I'd try something different :) Yeah what I call a melt you call a DeLam Die :blush2: see I do find them on other coins but never really worried about them but I'll save them for you but not the 09 $1 unless I find a better one and gee you take good pic's and wish I could get them like that :good:
Noodled 500 x $1 and 2000 x 50c coins this day and besides a 1998, 2008 and 2010 Rabbit Ear, (the first for ages), I also found the following:
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/2014-05-17_15-29-24_0991.jpg)
It is a 1985 coin. A nice, severe planchet fault.
That's a ripper Goldie! It didn't miss much!
Nice one GS, I've slowly been finding more NCLT and here's my latest and think it's about every 3 maybe 4K of dollar coins to find one so pretty hard up here or down depending on where you are :)
(http://i62.tinypic.com/34j20d5.jpg)
(http://i57.tinypic.com/2a6qzo2.jpg)
oh and of course it's the cheapest according to the books but that's always my luck :dash1:
NCLT's have slowed tremendously down here now, haven't found one in weeks
The error above is the first for weeks.
That is because you have already collected them all Goldy!
More seriously they seem to have slowed down a bit for me too.
I have no problem whatsoever finding NCLT coins, I can eBay Noodle them in a heartbeat :laugh2::dance2:
:ireful: how many times do I have to tell you ebay isn't noodling :angel: :laugh2:
Here's the only two coins Kel and I found from a $300 noodle
98 rabbit ears

2011 small spew roo
(http://i61.tinypic.com/2924q3c.jpg)
Oh, Nevol I just remembered that some of the 2012 and 13 coins might have a very very light die crack down the queens cheek that splits in to two at the bottom of the crack but you have to get it at the right angle..I should have wrote down what was there, sorry :(

No probs, I've got them put aside so I can dig them out and recheck them.
Just doing a little noodle of a $500 bag of $1 and found an 96 landcare M mint mark so happy with that, best get back to it and see what other goodies are there and will post a pic later :)
Good luck AJ.
This is more what I didn't find. In the last week I have noodled over $3000 of $1 coins and only found two rabbit ears -neither was 2010 and I would normally expect several of them from that amount.
However I did find a Waltzing Matilda.
Yeah ya just have runs from time to time and then it all dries up again but just doing some 50's and found my first mint set being an 87 but in the typical condition I find them in :(
I got one of those 2 bobs from the centenary thingee
the state series
hang on .... dang just checked my change purse
I put in the parking metre at the pool today!
gee do I have to come down there and hold your hand now, well check ya change so ya don't give away all the good stuff :)
Noodled through 1000 x 50c and 500 x $1 coins today and this one turned up:
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/2014-05-26_17-37-13_1005.jpg)
Haven't noodled one of those. Await my first "fish out of water" of that pattern eagerly.
Great find Goldy.!!
Had a successful pick through the coins from 1 vending machine today and in it was a 2001 cent fed rotated $1, the second one I have found this one is rotated to 3 O'clock, Then what looks to my untrained eye a 1974 50 cent coin in very close to uncirculated condition.
Happy days all round
Sound like nice finds CfV, you'd go thru a few wouldn't you and have you been finding many NCLT as there seems to be a few hot and cold spots around at the moment.
I had a good collection of NCLT maybe 20 different $1 varieties tried to sell some of it at cheaper than normal prices on Ebay, didn't sell any so I banked it all...........It doesn't appeal to me so if you or anyone is interested I can keep what I find and send it over at face value to whoever might want it?
Here is a couple of pics of the 50c a 600DPI scan shows up every nick

Gee it's not too bad mate, couple of scratches but for it's age someone has had it tucked away and very kind offer and I haven't sold but I know what you mean with putting things back in the pond so prefer to give it to a good home rather than that.
I did another load of 50c pieces today, (1000 of them), and all I got was a very nice 2010 Upset. Yippee.
If you want a pickie, I can arrange that.
Well done Goldy and CfV!
"CfV" = ?
CfV = Coins from Vending who posted the 50 cent just above and well done Bruce, I've still only found the one and it was pretty shabby to say the least.
did a few machines today and found a couple of keepers including this 1968 20 cent piece in really good condition, I wish my scanner scanned it as my eye sees it. Really happy with what I have been finding recently.

OK, thankyou.
No worries GS and another nice find CfV, doin well mate :good:
Noodled another NCLT 50c today, it was the Ballet 50c piece. My second find of this one.
sounds like your still on a run GS, well done.

Not bad. Don't see many that nice in change.
Here is a scan of the incused 50 cent coin I found last week, it looks dull and lifeless but on the shinametre it probably rates a 9 as it is a shiny as a new coin. It is scanned at 600DPI.
Now that I have finally paid off all my mortgage and business loans I am going to get back into photography and will be able to post "proper" photos of coins.

Would this coin warrant getting slabbed, if so would it make AU58 if lower than that I doubt it would be worth it??
come on CfV, between you and GS there won't be any left for me :) gee that's another good find mate and thanks heaps for posting :good:
I am sure we haven't cleaned out the circulating coins AJ. Just keep looking and they will turn up.
Yeah maybe not all GS but ya's aren't leaving many for me as the pond gets a bit shallow up this way with a lot of pond scum around but I do find the odd one just very poor condition.
I am still a lucky person in finding NCLT's and a variety kangaroo coin. These were found today:
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/2014-06-04_16-55-09_1042.jpg)
Come on GS ya gotta start to leave some for me, well done mate :good:
Just Noodled 50 3d coins.
1 x 1954
5x 1953
1 x 1960 chrome die coin
1 x 1952 slightly rotated
Lots of 1948 coins but NO "Blobbies" :cray:
1948 have a lot of die cracks from letters to the rim, like 1/3
Quote from: 'Australian coin' pid='51967' dateline='1402385447'1948 have a lot of die cracks from letters to the rim, like 1/3
Aw Crap, Now I'll have to dig them out of the scrap bucket :dash1:
hahaha yeah a lot of threepences have die cracks, I have seen so many now unless they are amazing I just don't bother, I now look for mistrikes and coins that are really obvious errors

A few more nice errors there, well done :)
Here's a good one Kel found, top job mate :good:
(http://i60.tinypic.com/mmaed3.jpg)
Well done and spotted Kel!
Thanks for posting that one AJ! I mainly just look for the rim cud on the lower obverse on the scouts.
Found one of AJ's 2013 wiggle 20c pieces. This one doesn't have quite the same development of the wiggles as AJ's - perhaps a bit of a precursor.
[attachment=2837]
Have been searching for these with no luck then this morning up pops one and the next 2013 20c I look at is one too. Second one looks very similar to the picture I posted above.
Pedro
Well done Pedro ..... definately looks like the Wiggles!

Yes, they keep popping up but I don't collect them.
All I have to do now is find them all and see if anyone wants them.

I could be interested. Let me know what you've got and what ball park figure is involved.
I have to speak to the Manager Of Finance first. But before then, I have to find the blooming things. I have put them into 2 x2's now can't find them.
Any police on the forum?
:police_car: :D
Pedro
There are 2 x Police cars outside next door neighbours house, been there quite a while. Want me to re-direct them? :angel:
Couple of recent finds:
Cud on top of the "0" on a 2005 10c

Edge on a 2006 $1

Pedro
More cuds/doubling. These shots are all from one 2007 50c. The year is renowned for doubling but this is the worst case I have seen. Some parts of the design eg the emu's left foot are just a blur.
There is also doubling on the obverse on the Queen's face and some of the date/letters.

Noodling finds today:
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/2014-07-07_16-58-58_1417.jpg)
Question is, what do I call the $1 variety other than a "spew roo?"
Quote from: 'Goldseeker' pid='54201' dateline='1404716566'Question is, what do I call the $1 variety other than a "spew roo?"
Perhaps ...... Raaaaaaaallllppppph.
Sorry Goldie, just had to.
Nice finds ..... well done.
(2010 $1??)
Jeff, that 2008 was a nice find. Not an easy one to get!
How did you guess it was a 2010 $1 coin?
I don't understand "Raaaaaaallllllllppppppphh?
:laugh2: ..... fair enough Goldie
Ralph ..... Perhaps it could best be described as the sound that comes from the loo when someone is in there "spewing". I was going to include Herb as that's another that comes to mind. (Excuse my toilet humour).
Quote from: 'Goldseeker' pid='54205' dateline='1404717266'How did you guess it was a 2010 $1 coin?
I just looked at the back of my computer monitor to see the other side of the coin.
Nah, seriously it was purely based on the volume of "spew" which to me indicated 2010.
why is the 2008 noodled?
Do you mean why is the one Jeff posted a keeper?
If so, check out the cud along the big roo's tail. (Double tailed)
Also the cud on the top of the 1 stretching down to almost the big roo's tail.
2008's can have either or both of these. (As well as other cuds of course, like rabbit ears).
goldy 2 incused !!
Omg I missed that!
I found a few of those $1 cuds on the 1. One of them extends all the way go the bottom. I will have to dig it out and photograph it

Wow! If it does go all the way to the bottom, it might be a one off. :yahoo: Can't wait to see it. :drooling:
Sounds great Serial, like Nevol I can't wait for a photo!
It was early in my noodling habit when I held onto anything remotely different so it will take awhile to track down
Another NCLT has come back in out of the cold!
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/Dollar_decade_1.jpg) (http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/Dollar_decade_2.jpg)
Now that one is hard to find in circulation but of the 2.6 million $ coins I have noodled, I have never ever found any Mint Marked Outback $'s but have found most others.
Well, that is certainly the first one I have ever found of the dollar decade.
just a quick update, I have gone trough several piles of coins and cant put my hands on it. rest assured like all coins in my collection it will pop up some time when I am organising a pile neatly. when it does it will be photographed and uploaded.
I haven't many Decimal Decade NCLT's whilst noodling but have found a few.
The one NCLT's that I really do like to find are the Barcelona Olympics Dollar. They are a nice find.
I have only noodled one of the Barcelona Olympics -perfect one side and gross stain (corrosive spill by the looks) the other. Drat!
Another double cud $1 -my third. So, they are out there and worth looking for.

Another NEW Spew Roo find for all to look out for. I would title this one as a MACRO Spew Roo........!(If one has been found in the past, I have not seen it posted anywhere).
See below - Mistaken ID by the author.
Makes the Roo look a bit like it's lower jaw is dislocated. Nice find! :yahoo:
Hi Goldie, no disrespect intended, but do you think it might be a PMD hit?
The bottom edge of the jaw appears to have been straightened with an upward tilt, whilst the curved bottom of the jaw looks to have been flattened. The gap between the bottom of the flattened section of the jaw and the second roo's back looks the size of a standard gap. There also appears to be some continued damage to the left of the flattened jaw section continuing to the tip of the 3rd roo's tail.
Have found a couple like that of late. At first glance I thought there was some doubling going on but on closer inspection they were just dings.

No offence take Unicorn......
I have re-examined the coin, under a by four magnification, in regards to your statement above and I now have to admit that it certainly looks like a "ding". The jaw at that spot on a normal coin is rounded whereas on my 2009 "Spew" is square/straight.
I shall now concede defeat on this 2009 Spew Roo that was mistakenly identified by this "stupid" person............
My first 2014 noodle.

well done
and better light is called a lamp!! ha ha
is that a mule, well done, I haven't found any yet and I have been looking for years
Welcome to the MULE Club. Now you can officially "Kick A__e" as they say. Congratulations. Any idea how many you have examined before that one popped up?
Now here is a scan of some coins I got today noodling. Coins being 23 years old are in exceptional condition: Me thinks they come from someone's hoard.......
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/2014-07-14_19-21-38_1431.jpg)(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/2014-07-14_19-20-36_1430.jpg)
also in the lot were some Charles/Diana's and The tall Ships pieces, all in exceptional condition.
Well I get about 10 2000's per 500 block and conservatively I would say I have noodled $250k so about 4500 have passed my hands in last 18 mths
Wowsers Serial, nice one!!
I know what you mean gold seeker I am also finding batches of old coins in high au condition that I put down to a collection being cashed in. Sad really as they probably were in better condition when cashed in.
Some great finds there serial and goldy.
What looks like a die crack (maybe?) on a 2011 50c I came across.

Pedro
Thanks purple. I am really surprised at the condition. It is better in hand than my pics show. High xf to low au imho
Cool, Serial, Goldie and Pedro ...... a noodling feast!!!!
Congrats all!

$250K of searching - that explains why these little buggars are so tough!
you deserve that mule mate
ps - did one of the kids find it first?
No they have a friend over for a sleep over tonight so I had to find it whilst dodging Nerf darts
ha ha
the foam dart nerf guns always come out around Christmas at our place
they dust them off and out they come
mum is usually ducking for cover as well!!
they never grow out of them
Nice find serial, congrats!
Congratulations serial!
Nice condition too!
Noodled again today for 1 x RAMS Head and one Rotated 50c 2010 50c piece.
I am happy.
Oops, 1 x 2010 Rabbit Ear/Spew Roo.
so I think I noodle to much when my favourite bank teller gives me this when I ask for some bags

(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/11197/P7160075.JPG)
hahaha I get them tooooo, I also got new original baggies for coppers
Gee, which bank will give me two, maybe three, coinsafe bags when I bring some bulk coins back and ask for for bags. The other bank gives me a full lot of them.
And, little, ziplock bags; I have hundreds and occasionally trot a bundle of 50 back.
you guys need one of these

No thanks; $184.95 would buy a respectable '27 florin or a crown and I know which I would treasure most.
No thanks for me.
I count all the coins I get for noodling.
If I used a machine, I wouldn't be able to noodle........
yeh I have kids. why would I pay for a machine :)
OK Serial, but the kids know all the little errors/varieties that exist?
no they date search and sort.
i am a brutal noodler, i focus on the significant errors only and varients eg mules, large cuds, mistrikes, keydates and nclt
Sounds like you are like me.
If you can sight the error/variety without a x10 magnification that is OK.
Well done and keep up the good work but please leave some errors/varieties for me.....hehehe.
Are you finding much in your location?
1 nclt per $500 of $1
2 2011 10c per $100
1 rotated $1 per $20k
1 rabbits per $5k
1 rim cud per $5k
give or take
Interesting figures. I may not be as bad as those you have shown.
I think some are a little better than that.
Finally got a chance to go to the bank to get some coins to noodle but will have to wait next week to pick them up.
Was thinking afterwards should've just gone to the casino and got some coins.
Quote from: 'serial' pid='54907' dateline='1405581542'1 nclt per $500 of $1

I have not kept good stats, but here are my rough comments
Quote from: 'serial' pid='54907' dateline='1405581542'1 nclt per $500 of $1
I get way less than this - probably closer to 1 / $5000
Quote from: 'serial' pid='54907' dateline='1405581542'2 2011 10c per $100
I have not looked at these for a while, but when I looked, I think I did not find any 2011
Quote from: 'serial' pid='54907' dateline='1405581542'1 rotated $1 per $20k
I think that might be about right for me too
Quote from: 'serial' pid='54907' dateline='1405581542'1 rabbits per $5k
I think I would be finding closer to 1 / $2000
Quote from: 'serial' pid='54907' dateline='1405581542'1 rim cud per $5k
I have found very few rim cuds. I think they would be closer to 1 / $20000 for me.
yeh my NCLT currency was the big surprise for me.
Another 2001 Volunteers $1 with two rim cuds -exactly same size and position of cuds as the three I have previously found.
Well another 2001 Volunteers $1 rim cud tonight. This time a single cud exactly matching one of the two cuds in the others I have found.
I think same die; after it lost first piece of rim and before it lost the second piece of rim.
Here are the two I have found yesterday and today.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/2001__1_cuds.jpg)
Another two NCLTs have come to roost here.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/0714a.jpg)
Just finished noodling $1,400 of $1 coins and only one rabbit ears (1998) -that is a very low strike rate.

I have noticed that they're getting harder to find of late.
[attachment=2881]
Also got a 98 rabbits ear but can't get good picture with the scanner.
That's a cool 50c cracker. I don't think I've ever found a NCLT 50c.
Some cud and doubling activity from the most recent noodle:
1999 $1

Well done AJ! :good:
good on ya A J , that's pretty cool ,
I told dawn and all she said was [ WOW ] good on him
Great stuff AJ - looks like you will be tied up for hours with all the goodies coming out of this bag!
Pedro
Thanks team :good: Yeah I haven't had a big noodle for a while with all these bloody bills but startin to get back on track so yes hope to find a few more and then to the bag of 20's 10's and the dreaded 5 cent eeeek but hope to find a few 72 and maybe just maybe a double headed 07 would be really nice and we have lotto tonight to Pedro, got ticket yesterday but near forgot so lucky I membered so 10 mill each sounds ok and if we do you'll here me :yahoo: from here!
I'm already thinking of ways to spend it AJ! :D
Pedro
We don't want to go off topic so, please start a new thread and everyone can make suggestions for spending the moolah! :drinks:
Mine is gone and half yours as well :laugh2: but getting back on track for Jeff because I don't like to rock the boat..ok sometimes I do :blush2: Not much else from that bag of 50's so started 20's and found this, yeah I know it's not crash hot but what do ya expect from the pond :)

Is that half a claw I can see there AJ, Or is the shadow just making it seem that way? Nice splatter pattern as well, arrrr.....but not prepared to elaborate other than to say people would often leave a silver coin out on collection day for the sanitary man :grin: But I think you're safe though because that was back in the sixties :laugh2:
Hey Auto, nah just shadows mate and that's blood from the last person that said "you'll get it over my dead body" :laugh2: so ya gotta be careful what you say and we didn't get sewer until the mid 90's so ya just never know :winkextra: and the funny thing is we didn't have a cockroach until the council put it on and then they were everywhere :( But this is what I've been saying about the poor quality of coins I find up here as they keep going round and round so sometimes I'll get money from another town :)
hey autocoupler and a j , don't knock it , I live about 45 km,s from Brisbane and we still have the rubbish man pick up the outdoor dunny pan on rubbish days at about 3 houses in our town , there is even one in our street that still have it , the person living in the house has to pull it out , put the lid on it and then carry it out on to the footpath and put it beside his rubbish bin every Monday , then when the rubbish man comes and takes the full one , he leaves a empty one with sawdust in it and the house owner or renter have to take the new one and put it back into the WC out the back of the house .
don't you remember them a j ? I showed them to you when you were up here . ,, kel ,,
The only compensation I got from losing a slabbed Mule at the ANDA Show was to noodle a Incuse 50c piece last night during the tears rolling down my face. Boo-Hoo.

gee ya got more faith than me as it's easily lost the same as trust, don't have much of either ATM but tryin so hard to see good :winkextra: But yes I feel for ya GS, it's very sad news to hear but hope you get it back and well done on a the incuse, if it makes you feel any better I'm still to find one :good:
Found another two Incuse 50c today. That's a total of three finds since Friday.
I now have nine spares, all collected in a few weeks of noodling.
Well done GS :good: You've inspired me mate so I'll get another bag tomorrow and hope for the best :)
Well Done Goldie and AJ , Don't stop trying mate they are still out there :yahoo:

hi bruce , I went noodling last Wednesday at the club and came away without my new glasses , I have been back every day since to see if they have been handed in , but [ no not yet ] is the answer they give me every time .. ,, kel ,,
Thanks trout, found a sweet SA 50 cent and a 2009 citizenship $1 and now into some 5 cent and found a really nice die crack on 06 20 and 99 with cuds all over the obverse with about 8 or 9 cuds and even in the circle of the 9's so that was different
Wow will also post a pic later but doin the 5's and found my first pommy 1966 6d and it's only a b's willy bigger than our 5 cent, very nice surprise and one 72 so far with about $60 to go...man these little suckers take a toll on the old peepers :blink:
Here is a new cud for me,
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/CoF__1_cud.jpg)
Here are a few of recent finds - mainly cuds:
2006 50c - doubling around the kangaroo's nose
[attachment=2912]
2009 $1 - tooth shaped cud
[attachment=2913]
2010 Girl Guides - cud on Queen's nose and doubling. Looks more like a gouge than the usual doubling.
[attachment=2914]
2013 50c - cuds on a reed (LHS) near the kangaroo's head
[attachment=2915]
Pedro
Cool Pedro, good spottings!!!
Might have to name the 2013 reed cuds ...... Moses?
Sounds good Uni :)
More 2013 50c flaws - multitude of various cuds on these coins.
Just to be fair here's one in the reeds near the emu:
[attachment=2917]
Cud/crack near kangaroo's paw
[attachment=2916]
Cuds on vertical star point
[attachment=2918]
Cud on kangaroo's ear
[attachment=2919]
Pedro
Well done Pedro, I found a few 2013 50's that I was gonna send to Nevol as the cuds are too small for me now so only keepin the big or rare one's.
Are poker machine change places good places to obtain large amounts of $1 for noodling purposes? Can't see any reason why not aside from how beaten the coins might get from being used more than those coins going over a bank counter....any thoughts?
From what I hear it's a good place for mules and NCLT at clubs if you live in the city but here in the bush I think it's much for muchness so I tend to just get a $500 bag from the bank and find the odd NCLT but still to find a mule and getting from the bank I don't have to worry about upsetting anyone at the clubs. But if I do go out yeah I bring a cup home :)
Is $500 a reasonable draw down from the pokie clubs?
Probably better off getting them from the bank as it's a decent size bag and the clubs might not like you taking away so much as some can get a bit narky!
I have changed up to $2,700.00 in coin for coin at poker venues. Just talk to the secretary manger of the club and inform that person of your requirements.
$1 coin for $1 coin is even par as far as I am concerned but be warned, some /many managers will not exchange as they will want to know where you got the coins from in the first place.
Takes time and patience to get them on side.
Got my first Prosegur wrapped rolls - does that count? :dodgy:

Pedro
I have seen their vans recently in Sydney CBD, but have not heard of the company before that.
Were they new coins or old ones?
Prosegur is a south African security company that recently purchased Chubb. Or so my bank contacts tell me
Old coins, Oz but a few keepers in there.
After having been surprised that the rolls were not wrapped by Chubb or Armaguard I had to google "Prosegur" as well as I had never heard of them.
Pedro
good to see we're keeping australia australia so I suppose it won't be long and I'll be seeing these trucks around here!
Saw my first Prosegur yellow van driving around Hobart today. Mind you, never seen Chubb driving around, but usually see Armaguard.
Look forward to getting a Prosegur roll.
Some more noodling finds:
1984 $1 - "4" in the date very very faint

2008 50c - crack on the back of the kangaroo

noice one Pedro :)
Here's a single 2012 50c with some "issues":
[attachment=2924] [attachment=2925]
[attachment=2926] [attachment=2927]
There are further cuds around the emu and the reeds near it, on the Queen's face, on the zero etc.
Pedro
Prosegur?
it's a private security company GS from overseas here's a wiki on it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosegur
Operations[edit]
Prosegur operates in three service lines: technology, cash management solutions, and surveillance. Their operations encompass cash in transit, home security monitoring, manned guarding, fire protection, and security installation.
Global Presence[edit]
Prosegur operates in 17 countries globally.[1] Prosegur's entry into new markets and subsequent expansion has often been through acquisition.[4] Its operations grew initially through Spain, Portugal and Latin America, but have since expanded to other parts of Europe and Asia.
In 2013, Prosegur entered the Australian market with the acquisition of the second largest cash-in-transit business in the country, the Australian division of Chubb Security for A$145 million (€95 million)[5]
Prosegur holds a market leading position in many of the countries in which it operates, including Spain, Brazil and Germany.
Thanks for that.
Was sorting through my latest noodling keepers and came across this marking on a 2000 Royal visit 50c:

http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=6083
Is this a result of wire (or some other foreign body) at the time of minting or just PMD? The gullies look smooth.
Pedro
mm don't know sorry Pedro, maybe Mark or Nevol might know :)
Just doin a few 5's and out of a $100 bag got these and yet again 2 in one $5 bag

Can't make out what part of the coin the 2nd & 3rd images are of, and with the 1st image a couple shots taken on an angle might help with ID'ing the problem.
OK Nancy will try again and see if I can get some clearer shots.
Pedro
Have tried some more shots but with my USB I can't seem to get close-ups but hopefully the angles used can give a bit better perspective.
There are a couple of large divots which are marked on one of the photos. If it is something on the die it doesn't look like wire given the forking.
The channel that is where the Queen's mouth is looks smooth.

Pedro
not knowing but I'd say yes to wire and a nice face melt as well, nice find Pedro :good:
It appears as though the lips part of the die may have picked up some crud. Filled die maybe. Possibly struck through grease or struck through wire.
With the different images, it doesn't look like they're all of the same coin, but I can tell it is from the other marks etc. :dontknow:
Thanks Nancy and AJ for the feedback.
I tried a few different angles and the way the light fell it threw up a few different faults that weren't as obvious from the straight on shots.
Pedro
Sorry I could really be of any assistance Pedro but I'm learning :)

Great pics.
Is the big roo with the 2 cuds down the right a 2010?
If so, does the Queen have a cud behind her nose?
I'll see if I can find a pic of the 2013 that I had to see if they're the same.
Yep, they're the same size AJ.
I think that might be as big as they got.
From memory the 1985 was also small.
Cool thanks Uni and yes your getting good at this game and that's the nose one with the funny lines coming off it second from the bottom and yes 2010 :good:
The Mrs found this coin in her change, what do you think of this ,it looks me me like it has happened in the minting process as the hole has original lustre in it.

Just finished noodling another 2000 x 50c pieces for another dirty Incuse. I am getting quite a collection of these at present.

Cool Pedro!! ..... is it the same on the reverse?
Yes Uni - both sides affected and all corners.
Pedro
That's excellent .... I've only ever seen photos of ones like that.
I'll have to try and track down the threads.
Yes, Uni I'm sure I've seen photos of another one previously as well but haven't found it as yet.

its called a castle coin, I have seen a few, they sell well
Thanks for the info AC. This one has gone into a saflip and will join his error friends!

It was elementary.
I think that 50c has just had the corners damaged (ie just rolled on its edge until the corners are rounded off)
Hi Oz - I have included a couple of more shots of the edges.

http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=6190
I see that there was a bit of discussion with the earlier one too about whether the turned edges were PMD or not?
Do these additional photos help one way or the other?
Pedro
this is what I thought it was
http://www.australian-threepence.com/blog/2010/06/50c-ramstrike-coin-error.html
Sorry, but my opinion is PMD.
I did 500 x $1 coins for this lot today:

Me too. I couldn't remember whether the raised sections were on the flats or the corners. Flats it is!
Nice finds Goldie!
After a few years and around $65k I finally noodled one! :yahoo:

Made this 8º upset an anti-climax.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/1999_upset.jpg)
:yahoo: Woo hooo .... :yahoo:
Well done Jeff!
Only 65K to find your first. I had to noddle 140,968 coins to get my first.
Regardless, well done and congratulations.
There is only one problem now Jeff, another 65K coins to get number two.....hehehe.
Yes, I have a way to go to catch up with you.
QuoteThere is only one problem now Jeff, another 65K coins to get number two.....hehehe.
Actually there is just as much chance that the very next dollar I look at will be a mule; or the 65,000th one I next check; or even the 140,968th one I pick up.
Congratulations Jeff!
Here's hoping the next one is just around the corner too.
Congrats Jeff!
Great work Jeff - persistence paid off!
Pedro

What a great day noodling.
First, I got 43 x 1966 50c pieces from the bank at face value. I then swapped 5 bags of $200.00 each 50c's and one bag $500.00 $1 coins and found the following:
1. 1 x 1994 flaking planchet Obv.
2. 1 x 2008 Spew Roo; and
3. 2 x 2010 Rotated 50c pieces.
What a lovely day.
OMG
I am green with envy
Some nice finds Goldy! :yahoo:
At long last I get sumfin good.......Yes!
Did well with the 1966 50's Goldy (not to mention the other stuff)! Excellent.
Pedro
WOW Goldie!
What a super day!
This one hopped in this morning.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/Spew_0914.jpg)
nice chuck chunder there Jeff :good: been finding a few things but not really much to warrant posting about but have found a few more NCLT $1
Some results from recent noodling:
1979 50c - single bar
http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=6436
1980 50c - single bar
http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=6434
http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=6435
Both coins had quite a bit of wear so I assume that one of the bars wore off?
1995 $1 - laminations (same coin)
http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=6432
http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=6433
Also managed to pick up a:
1993 50c :yahoo:
1973 50c x 2
1981 Charles & Di in aUNC - the best I have found so far in circulation even compared to those I picked up not long after they were originally released - still amazes me!
2001 50c - ACT, NSW (x 2), Queensland, South Australia & Tasmania.
Pedro
Good finds Pedro! A nice lamination.
Yes well done Pedro :good: and agree that it amazes me that some coins are near aUNC and still in the pond and especially coins pre 80's.
A very sick 1999 YOOP $1
The obvious rim cud and slightly rotated die:
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10124/YOOP_combined.jpg)
Cuds within the emblem and wreath
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10124/cuds_closeup_for_upload.jpg)
And doubling under the bottom legend, "1 DOLLAR" and bottom of wreath.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10124/doubling_for_upload.jpg)
Good one Steve :good: and those cuds are really common and come in all sizes
Ok here's a couple of little cuds for ya's
behind the emu, wish I could highlight things sorry
(http://i60.tinypic.com/35jbgom.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/qqv8u0.jpg)
and small cud on tail
(http://i61.tinypic.com/263wy6r.jpg)
(http://i58.tinypic.com/dym1s3.jpg)
2010 Roo Tail AJ?
There seem to be more cuds near the emu now - previous finds seemed to be more biased to the kangaroo's side.
Well done AJ.
Pedro
Yep both 2010 Uni and yes Pedro I agree mate :good: and just what I've come to expect from the top quality product the RAM produces these days :angel:
Cool, thanks AJ ..... I think the RAM excelled themselves with the $1 in 2010.
yeah I'll say Uni as there's about 14 different one's just on the big roo alone but it gives us something to look for and talk about.
$500 in $1 and found these, now better get back to these 5 cents and done $10 out of $100 and found a nice rim cud and 2 x 72's and hope to find a few more yet.
Just for Uni, yep you guessed it :winkextra:
pretty big R/E
(http://i57.tinypic.com/30hv2v9.jpg)
another chest spear, so a few of these now
(http://i62.tinypic.com/25qdcup.jpg)
and I think this is pretty self explanatory :)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2qvzjwx.jpg)
Here are some more 2013 50c errors that I hadn't seen before (but AJ probably has!)
These were all on the one coin:

On another:
http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=6574
Managed to also pick up:
1973 50c
1993 50c (second one in a bit over a week)
2001 50c NSW
2001 50c Northern Territory
Found a 1981 in good nick and a few more 1981 Charles & Di (but not in the same condition as the one last week).
Pedro
Well done Pedro, you've been finding a few lately :good:
The last two are rippers and the lion is a beauty :ok: but what I really wanna know is what are you going to call the second last link :blush2:
:P I'll have to put the thinking cap on and see what we come up with - suggestions would be welcome :laugh2:
Pedro
now that's a pizzler :blush2:

Nicely done Jeff :yahoo::wavemulticolor:
I have yet to see one of these let alone find one :(
Well done Jeff! Your lucky magnet is still working! :wavemulticolor:
To me it's quite amazing that coins circulate in the system as long as they do, what stories they could tell. But when you find one like this it's WOW, congrats on a fantastic pick up.
Well done jeffh. I am yet to find one.
well done, reminds me I haven't seen one of them in a while, ah wishful thinking now to find one
Great find Jeff.It reminds eveyone they're still out there.

I have just noodled some $1 coins and have decided to re name the "FLEA IN THE EAR"' to "SUN FLARE".
This is the reason why:

yep, sure is a 2009.

[attachment=2990]A nice rim CUD error I found today
A few errors from recent noodling:
2014 50c errors - all on the one coin. There are some similarities to the placement of 2013 errors. As well as the cuds pictured the coin also had a cud on the top corner of the "5".

Great images Pedro!
The Big O meets Roozilla!
(Yet to find a 2014 50c).
Have picked up the odd 2014 50c in noodles over the last couple of months but then found 5 today. Must be just about to find out from the RAM Annual Report how many have been minted so far. PM me if you would like a couple Uni.
Pedro
Thanks Pedro, I'm sure some will turn up soon. I've noticed that the 2014 Anzac $1 are becoming more frequent so the 50c probably won't be far behind.
This morning I found;
•1985 50¢. Long time since I have found one of those.
•A very nice 1993 20¢. Must have been released only recently from a mint set.
2014 50¢ have started turning up here.
Jeff, you're like a magnet at present. Some more excellent discoveries! :yahoo:
Pedro
2014 5c a few days ago
Noddled a 2006 Lizard Tongue (Small) $1 Kangaroo today.
It is hard to see but it is there on the second Roo:(I have had a good lookm through my microscope and it is definitely there):

hi bruce , good pictures too , your doing well .
How much brightness in it?
bruce is using a matt finish camera ..
Nope, just my desktop scanner, a Canon Canoscan 5600F.

Pedro
Great images thanks keep them coming I appreciate the effort in not only finding and sharing but also the skills in capture for photos :)
I found a very nice 2001 COF $1 Upset at an angle of 304 degrees yesterday.
A first for a while.
Finding a few 2010 Spew Roos as well as Spew Roo/Rabbit ear combinations and the normal Rabbit ears, nothing spectacular.
Noodled quite a few $1 coins this week for a haul of;
•11 x rabbit ears (various years but mostly 2010)
•Eureka Stockade C
•Last Anzacs C
•Barcelona Olympiad
•Howard Florey C
•2005 Peace, hat cud
•2 x 2001 Volunteers, rim cud
•1999 Older Persons, rim cud
•1997 "Smithie" lamination flaw (full width of coin)
Not one upset (or mule) but, all in all, not a bad haul.
And enough high grade 'normal' coins to complete three full circulation sets with ones I already had.
Jeff
[Transferred from another thread that I mistakenly posted this in.
And, Uni, about 2300 coins for 11 rabbit ears. Quite a good strike rate.]
:laugh2: ..... I'd only noticed after I'd replied too .....
That is a great strike rate for 2300 for both the R/Ears and the NCLT, top stuff!
Gee, Jeff have you got a desk at the bank!! Some more great finds. :ok:
Pedro
I did 600 x 50c pieces today and I found this one:

A good look at the close up view shows that the coins in-print is in the groove. How did this come about?
Now, this is the area immediately behind the error on the obv:

A full view of the error coins obverse.
What a beauty Goldie!!!!!
Well done!
Further to the above, I found two Incuse 50c pieces.
Just finished noodling 500 x $1 and 2000 x 50c coins for the following:
1. 5 x Rams Head 50c's, (noice).
2. 1 x 1996 Sir Henry Parkes Upset, (a first for a couple of years),
3. 1 x 200 COF Upset at 264 degrees. (Straight into my minute by minute upset album).
A nice haul at long last.
Wow Goldie, you are doing well!
What a great set of finds!
The 50c, I think is called planchet flaw that has detached.
Nice finds you have been making! Looks like a good strike rate too.
Nice going Goldie.
Not much for me this week. All I think worth mentioning is a pigeon pair of 2014 50¢. A coat of arms and an AIATSIS. The AIATSIS is in top condition; better than any I got from a $10 security bag.
I know this is a bit dorkey, but I have only found in circulation a 2014 5c, I have friends that have sent me- a colour remembrance $2 a AIATSIS and the 100 years Anzac coin,
can people help me fill in a 2014 set of coins from circulation,
don't need anything special just if ya find something put it to one side.
I think my mum said she found a 20c but not sure,
anyways not in a rush or anything
just wanting to know what was released into circulation
so I can make a set to sit on my work shelf :)

I found a 2014 $2 coin the other week, i'll pop that on over to you :ok:
many thanks trout :)
Well, maybe not much last week but kicked off this week well!
Having my Sunday post-lunch coffee I thought I would start on some $1 coins I have to noodle.
In short order I turned up two 2005 Peace hat cuds. One small and one large -looks like progression of chip in the same die. They are in a slightly different position than I remember seeing before...maybe two dies have had similar problem? When I get a chance I will dig some others out and get some pics if my speculation is correct.
Then again, maybe the cud queen already has this covered. Come in Nancy.
:hi: ..... Hats off to you Jeff! ...... (The finds and 2000 post ..... can't wait for the pics).
Is this what you mean Jeff?
$1 2005 Peace Rev Hat Cud combo (http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10007/_1_2005_Peace_v7_1_Hat_Cud_Combo-vert.jpg)

That's it Nancy.
Quote from: 'JeffH' pid='62146' dateline='1415557393'That's it Nancy.
So are your 2 the same as any of mine?
Here's my first noodling post.
A bit of a mixture. I like the HMAS Sydney as I doubt there are many as well worn as this one.
The 2000 mule is definately the most memorable and I thought I might have been dreaming when I woke up the morning after noodling it.
The 5c has no edge reeding so I assume that's an out of collar?
The $2 really intrigues me, not sure what to make if it. It looks a bit like a mule and reverse is quite faint. Edge has very very faint reed. It almost seems like bad planchet (its a bit thinner than normal).
I'll start putting some more up individually with better pics but mindful of not spamming the thread.
[attachment=3014]
nothing wrong with them pic,s ,,, dave as good or even better then
mine . easy to see but not good enough to grade by .. ,, kel ,,
If you have more finds like that don't worry about spamming the thread. Keep them coming; the more, the merrier.

Nice Mule! The 5c does look like an out of collar, what year is it. The $2 are pretty common with what looks like a second edge, not sure what causes it, maybe slightly off centre, but so many like it, it's just a spender.
Looking forward to further piccies. :biggrin:
A nice bunch there Dave.
It's an unusually centered mule ...... any chance of a closeup pic of just it next to a standard 2000 for comparison? I'm sure it's a mule, but just really curious about how the double rim is only just over half the circumference of the coin.
Many mules that I have found and/or sighted are missing up to 40% of the double rim between the 7 and 1 position or the that left quadrant area.
Yes Goldie, I'd had a look at all of the ones in your gallery and this one seemed to have even less than your least one. I did intend to do a % calculation once a clearer pic is posted.
Here are some better pics of the Mule. The rim runs from about 12 to 8. From what I have read that pretty much the most common off-strike position and more common than centred ones.
[attachment=3016]
[attachment=3017]
Yes, a lot better photo. (Thanks for posting it Dave).
In the earlier photo it looked like around 1 to 7 o'clock (which would have been small as a percentage) but it could have been the angle of the coin etc, or my crappy eye.
Thanks again.
I think it's really cool that we can still noodle a mule every so often. It's great people post up here when they have a win. I am not in the mule club, looked but never found one.
This was from Sydney metro. Have probably gone through about 5000 $1 over last 12 months so I think I was pretty lucky.
My very first Mule that I found came from Merrylands RSL Club.
I have found a couple at the West Tigers Footy Club at Campbelltown.
If you have the time SirDave, hit the bigger clubs that have pokies and still have $ coins, can't go wrong.
A couple of recent finds:

Cool Pedro ..... Speared roos are in fashion.
Is that a cold shut on the 2005?
I think it might be a cold shut Uni but I'm not an expert on them.
Don't know about speared roos but certainly saw a large number of roos that had been hit by the side of the Hume Highway during my travels during the week!
Pedro
Did some noodling today on 500 x $1 and 2000 x $0.50 cent coins and these turned up:

Further, this one turned up. Looks like a "strikethrough" but I am no professional so will take advice:

nice finds Bruce
Hi Goldie,
Not sure about the possible strike through, but these reasonably often have just a dent in that position, which I think is strike through. I think your one may be somehow related to those.
Yes, I have seen many of the Flag coins with an "oval" indent just below the corner of the flag.
I shall post some picking next time I come across one.
Got this one in my change on Monday, probably the best looking 50c I've come across for a while.
50c 1988 Bi-Cent - Noodled
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10007/50c_1988_Bi-Cent_Duo_Noodled.jpg)
I noodle quite a few of the above 50c each time I get bags of coins for sorting. A vast majority are in really good nick.
If anybody wants me save these for you then PM me please.
I just noodled a Voyage to Terra Australis 2014 $1, "C".
Didn't take long for that one to be set free.
Very impressive to find one in the year of issue Jeff!
Pedro
Just found these in a noodling session today:

nice one on the Bathurst 50!
never seen one of them noodled!
That's the third noodled Bathurst for me.
You have the knack Goldseeker that's excellent :)

Well this one's not out there any more , well done:good:
Serial, that is beyond words! Congratulations!
Both of those on the same night?
Sounds like an urban myth.
That is extremely lucky.
A couple great finds. Well done! :yahoo: :wavemulticolor:
Great finds there
very nice fiind .
my best mule graded 55 and my other one is 50 , so i am happy with that . ,, kel ,,
Well Bloody done mate. I wish I could noodle coins like that.
Thanks guys, I go through hundreds of thousands of dollars every year to find what I do and when I do get something like this it really makes my day. Now I am going back to the bank which gave me this coin to withdraw the rest of their $1 coins to noodle this week end
Brilliant finds Serial. The mule is a beauty.
Pedro
so I just got $3k of $1 coins that came with this batch. I will go through them tomorrow. with any luck the mule was part of a newly broken open mint roll
You wish!
Congrats, they look good in that condition.!!
Quote from: 'Robster' pid='63065' dateline='1417169359'Congrats, they look good in that condition.!!
Nice to hear from you Robster and a belated Happy Birthday for yesterday.Hope you had a good day
Thanks, had a ripper day.!!
I am $1k into the coins and have found another in in xf condition

? Another what? Mule?
Woohoo if it is. :yahoo:
Yeh I was up to 1am going through another thousand. That is now 2 mules in 2 days. I am thinking someone has dumped a mule collection at a bank not knowing what it is

Just hope it wasn't part of the proceeds of a burglary.
I know right, whenever I get nclt currency that is all I can think of.
Unfortunately my find isn't anywhere near the same ballpark as Serial's efforts over the last couple of days!
2014 AIATSIS 50c
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/2014_5c_AIATSIS_Cud_on_Queen_s_nose_resized.jpg)
Still errors even with the low mintage!
Pedro
Cool Pedro ...... a bit on the nose though eh!
Jeff ....... how do you do it!!!! You probably needed the mule to carry the haul of 2c bits!!!
(If this post doesn't make sense to some, it's because Jeff bought a jeep ..... oops, I mean found a mule!!!!) Legend .... legend .... legend!
Well done Jeff!
Think Jeff can upgrade from 2c now with another mule :D
Pedro
Noodled my normal lot of 50c and $1 coins today for three of the new Aboriginal designed coins.
Wifey nicked them very quick.
Noodled even more coins today for a Gallipoli "C" $1 and a 2010 Rotated 50c. The first for ages.
Well done Goldie! Especially the rotated!
We won't be noodling from our usual bank until next year as when I went in last week I was told by the teller that I couldn't get coin until next year as they needed the coin they have for their Business customers. I only get $200 of 50c coins and $100 of 20c coins, I'm sure that shouldn't break the bank.
When I went to our local branch last week to get some noodling funds they only had $80 in 50c. Told me to come back later this week when they would have more!
Doesn't look like the banks want to hold cash!
Pedro
I get that story all the time and have to take whatever they say they have.
Not good here to go at the end of the week as they like to keep as much cash as possible for business customers who come for change for the weekend.
Helps to suss out which day they get their weekly Armaguard pickup/delivery and may have "fresh stock". They won't tell you which day that is ("security concerns") but, in a small town like this, it is not hard to suss that out.
Just noodled three NCLT $1 coins out of 1000 coins.
They are Last ANZAC "A", Eureka "C" and Smithy "C".
Love the Last ANZAC find though.
Not sure if I should brag about a find today of an Incuse 50c piece whilst noodling and Fifty Years Of Australian Ballet 50c as well.
Bragging is fine Goldie ....... providing you are wearing your tutu! (In which case it might be an Incute ........).
PS: We do want pics. :angel:
I hope you mean pics of the incused 50c and not Goldie in a tutu Uni??
Pedro
I want to see that!
On second thoughts, maybe not.
Wait on, give me five, and I will go and get changed........Fat chance of that me finks!
1990 50¢ in beautiful condition. Must not have been loose for long.
Great find Jeff! Another one that escaped its packaging.
Pedro
Don't worry about 1971 20¢ being hard to find. Try this year.
Noodled it last night. OK, well marked but what do you expect for nearly 30 years.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/1985_20C2F.jpg)
Good work again Jeff!
Here's a 2013 50c with a circular cud behind the emu's head:
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/2013_50c_circular_cud_behind_emu_head_resized.jpg)
Pedro
Cool Pedro ......
Is is raised? Or a depression (strikethrough)?
Regardless, BUBBLE!!!!!!!!!
Dare we call it a "Bubble" :laugh2:
Well spotted Mate :yahoo:
Oops. :blush::icon_cry:
When I went to re-check the "bubble" I couldn't really tell Uni and there was a little smudging on the coin, so a little rinse in water and the bubble is no more!!
Dunce of the day = Pedro!
:laugh2: ..... I've been fooled by that before too. Wet coins at the Club .... ROFL!!!
The bubble has burst!
Just did $900 of $1 coins and not one rabbit ears. However I did pick up a 100 years of Australian Coinage (C) -beats me why someone would pay $14.95 for one at the mint and later just spend it.
would have been paid by centre link ? maybe . or stolen , it still happens you know .. ,, kel ,,
been finding a few things and here's a couple,
filled 2 on 2000 millimium
(http://i58.tinypic.com/35a3ki1.jpg)
and still trying to work out if this is error or PMD, filled table tennis racket on 82 comm games
(http://i61.tinypic.com/f9jnno.jpg)
Cool AJ!
What an odd shaped cud on the 2000!
The 1982 definately looks like a die fill (or strikethrough oil/grease) as it impacts the top of the E as well.
If at first you don't succeed try again ....
2006 $1 spew roo
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/2006__1_early_spew_roo_resized.jpg)
Pedro
well done Pedro :good: so what one's are you missing mate? I can't find a bloody 85 rabbit ears or mule but did find a nice big 2000 R/E the other day.
Unfortunately my recordkeeping for my error coins is only really up to speed for my noodling over the past 8 months AJ and I am not sure what I have from earlier on :dontknow:
Seem to be enjoying doing more noodling and been too slack to go back and sort them out. The other minor issue is that I am not sure where I have put them! :scratch_one-s_head:
Pedro
Yeah I hear ya loud and clear on all accounts mate so all good, thought I should have a quick suss of the 2014 $1 and found these so here's something to look for :winkextra:
base of bust cud
(http://i62.tinypic.com/34649yq.jpg)
under lip cud
(http://i62.tinypic.com/24bomz6.jpg)
and don't know if these are small little coldshuts
(http://i57.tinypic.com/14kk46p.jpg)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/34eot8j.jpg)
now I'm not helping with any more because I want you to show me what to look for :)
Those are on the ANZAC $1 AJ?
PS: I do know that I haven't got a mule!
Pedro
:laugh2: yeah I'm yet to join the mule club as well and yes anzac's mate :good:
Ok ok you lot are so slack so I better help Pedro and Uni out so here's some more 2014's for ya's and haven't had many but quite a few errors so good to see the mint is still keeping up the high quality that I have come to expect!
aiatsis die crack on top done

ok just done $40 in 10's and still $60 to go but need a little rest first so here's 2 typical errors out of about a dozen coins..so far :dodgy:
nose cud
(http://i62.tinypic.com/14aenls.jpg)
and '0' on reverse of same coin
(http://i60.tinypic.com/svqg7s.jpg)
and '0' on another so pretty common on most years
(http://i62.tinypic.com/29bfrrl.jpg)
and my first "slight" rotated/upset 66 10 cent so pretty happy with that :)
(http://i59.tinypic.com/nyuxsp.jpg)
(http://i57.tinypic.com/30ikn7b.jpg)
and no I didn't just rotate it in the 2x2 :laugh2:
:yahoo: You're setting that benchmark high AJ, well done, great finds.
That nose cud looks like the one on Pedro's 50c.
Good work with the 2006 SR Pedro.
Nice rotation! I have 3 of those and they're pretty hard to find. :yahoo:
I like the upset 1966 10c AJ. I found one some time ago but the tilt was smaller.
Haven't seen this much doubling on a 1997 50c before:

Thanks team, I try :winkextra:
I'm really glad the 66 is in ok nick..gee I can't remember half the things I have stashed away now :dash1:
I find from the 90's QC really dropped off at the mint :(
have a look at Jeff's wavy on page one , post 10 on head side , and under the queens head , ok , now have a look at page 151 , post 1506 last pic , .20 cent coin on tail side and see the same markings in the waves ,
do they look about the same to you as they do to me .. ??
same position on coin only tail side . ,, kel ,,
tardar
(http://i59.tinypic.com/14vtbvt.jpg)
yep , that's it A J . now look at jeffs wavy on page 1 post 10 .
the markings looks much the same to me but a long difference in the dates .
PMD.
You will see similar marks on plenty of coins. Not sure exactly what the cause is but could make a few guesses -maybe coin handling machinery or vending machines or similar.
yes I agree with Jeff as I've found the same marks on heaps of coins.
Ok finished the bag of 10's and found two more :(

Here's another 2012 50c with "issues" (all these shots from the 1 coin):
The dots in the angle that I have had previously have been small but not this one, not to mention all the little cuds around the "5". Also had a raft of cuds on the "0".

How's this for a pronounced bubble AJ (I know, I know ya have 50 of them!)? I haven't seen one this bold before.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/2012_50c_pronounced_bubble_Pt_4_resized.jpg)
Pedro
50 try over 100 now :(
Man, I thought I'd sent you one sorry :dash1:
ya got a 2012 20 cent bubble, now that's the rare one as I only have 5 or 6
I've got plenty of the 2012 50c emu bubbles but the one I posted this morning has the broadest, most defined bubble that I have seen. The other ones have a more slender ring (and yes, you did send me one way back when you first found them so your memory is fine!)
I found a third 2012 20c bubble in the noodle I did last week when I had to noodle 20c by default after the bank ran out of 50c (second branch I've been too in the last 3 weeks where that has happened)!
Pedro

Ahah, the old skeleton claw surfaces again. Nice one AJ, is on it a thick or thin 7? From memory, most of them are on the thin variety. :angel:
These are some of mine. They also occur on some other years, 2005 for sure, but not too sure which other ones.

A couple of recent finds:

With my archaeologist hat (ie pith helmet) on I think I have discovered a rare and new species of dinosaur that I have modestly called the Pedroemusaurus (2014 50c)
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/2014_50c_Dinosaur_emu_Pt_2_resized.jpg)
Pedro
Excellent finds Pedro. The 50c is an absolute ripper.
Roozilla finally has a mate!!
PS: Did you take you hat off after your find ??? Only to discover that it made you feel pith'd off? :hi: (Sorry it is getting late).
In this instance I did a Joe Cocker and left my hat on. I can get pith'd off (or just pith'd) with it on! :angel:
Just found a second Pedroemusaurus. Maybe they're not extinct after all.
Pedro
2014 eh, another bugger to look out for.
Just how big is your "Jarasik Park" as I just might send up some if I can find any?
Not sure how big the park needs to be Goldie until I get some idea of how many of these blighters are out there! Might need 2 parks :biggrin:
With so many bumps on the emu you would think that there should perhaps be others out there with fewer bumps as the die issue progressed?
Pedro
I have a 2009 50c a bit similar to Pedro's, but I'll have to find it and take a decent piccie before I can show you folks. All I currently have is a crappy old scan.
I found one today whilst noodling but not as good as your above:
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/2015-01-09_19-20-18_1932.jpg)

I noodled this one today , broken first l in dollar. coin 1984 dollar
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2rdar6p.jpg)
this is a message I got today from a friend ,.
I am looking for an answer to tell them .
this is all they told me and no picture yet .. ,, kel ,,
I have found a $2 coin which is double the thickness and you can see it has been squashed out when stamped. Can you ask on the forum about it,as I have never used the forum am unsure how? regards ..
any answers welcome and I will ask them for a picture of it ..
looks like PMD sorry Kel but more pic's and on the angle would be better mate.
just doing some 10 cents and found this little ripper and probably the best I've found, not good nick but will still keep it for now :) Better go look at the $90 that's left to search :dash1:

Finally got my first 2014 MoR in my weekly noodling.:yahoo:
[attachment=3101]
[attachment=3100]
Nice noodling finds one and all.
Keep them pickies coming.
Only about half way through this week's quota of $1 coins but quite excited about this find (1993 Landcare).
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/Partial_collar__1.jpg)
Great find and image.!!
Very nice find! :drooling:
Nice one Jeff!!!
Did you spot it from the side or from the face of the coin?
AJ, that is one cracker of a lamination. What year is it?
Square on to the face it is not at all obvious (unless you already know and look very closely).
Whenever I have a handful of coins to noodle I always line them up and have a look at the edges before I sort them heads/tails, commemorative/normal, date etc. A collar error sticks out like canine gonads in that situation!
Great find Jeff!
Thanks Jeff, I was rather interested to know as when I found my first (and only) tilted partial collar I saw it from face on. Since then though I always roll around $20 at a time for a side view first.
oh fanks guys
now I know what it is!
Yes RG. Jeff's is a Partial Straight Collar.
Mine was tilted.
And here's some pics (which might also help determine why I asked the question as to how he noticed it).
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/11067/ptc01_28Copy29.jpg)
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/11067/ptc06_28Copy29.jpg)
Often a partial collar error will show a noticeable offset on one face; but not always.
Mine is well centred both faces.
groovy error coins
Just completed my week of Noodling and the following is the result:
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/2015-01-16_15-54-07_1944.jpg)
Most of the above was found today.
ait has been a good week for errors etc.
Well done Goldie!
Love the strike through and the Parkes rotated!!!!!!
A few that have found their way into my hands:
2012 5c cud on Queen's nose
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/2012_5c_cud_on_Queen_s_nose_resized.jpg)
2010 50c cud beside the right hand side of the shield. Seems to be a precursor to a larger cud in that space.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/2010_50c_cud_beside_RHS_shield_resized.jpg)
2013 50c - long cud on the reeds to the right of the emu (had a little help finding this one). Two other smaller round cuds on the reed above as well.

It looks like you've found the right hand side match for your previous Moses finds!

Well done Pedro, great pics.
Gee that one in the bottom left corner of the shield might grow tad bigger by the great die crack coming down and to the right of it.
Nice ones Pedro! :good:
I noodled this from a tub of Halfpennies I have had sitting around for years.

Hi Jim, this is a good year for die cracks, lumps, bumps and acne.!! Even my album coin has a neat die crack.!!
Noodled through 1000 x $1 coins and this one turned up:

Looks like there was something , (dirt), on the blank at the time of minting.
It is a 2013 Kangaroo of course.
Nice doubling.! (for a decimal). :angel:
Now I know that you have all been patiently waiting for more 2014 50c errors so here's another sampling - all from the same coin.
I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings but it does look like Her Majesty has a case of ringworm!

2013 50c with the baby brother to the long reed cud near the emu. Assorted other small cuds thrown in for good measure.

Pedro
Do I see a small bubble on the 2013 50c?
No, I don't think so Nancy. It looks like it is a circular cud that has a ridge running up the middle that gives the impression of a donut at other angles.

Nice ones Pedro! Great pics! Do you use a Kaiser Baas scope?
Noodled some more coins yesterday, Friday and received a nice little surprise.
I found another Sir Douglas Mawson NCLT $1 .
That is the third I have found to date.

No Uni, I have an el cheapo Chinese USB scope. Takes a bit of playing with and some shots work, others don't!
Pedro
It looks to be doing the job fine Pedro. They are nice clear pics.
Further to my Bitten Edge find on Wednesday, 4/2/15, I also found three x AIATSIS and two x Incuse 50c pieces.
A nice haul.
I still have to go through 1,000 x $1 coins today.
You're doing very well Goldy! :yahoo:
I just found a 1985 50¢. I am thinking these are at least as hard to pick up as incused -what say you Goldy?
And one AIATSIS (my third now).

Well I'm not Goldy but with 1985 50c we know they only minted 1m, but no-one knows how may Incused were minted, so of the two
1985 may very well be more difficult to find. :winkextra:
I was going to ask if anyone has found an AIATSIS, as I haven't so far, so thanks for answering my question before I asked it.
Only managed to get 1 okayish 97 today, but that's not bad considering I only noddle $10 to $20 each week, reading the forum I've seen much bigger sums being noddled by others.
Hope next week is better for me.
Hey, I only started off noodling about $50 at a time but over time was able to put a bit of spare cash towards my noodling requirements. I now noodle $2,000 at a time, at least three times a week now.
Hang in there. Your noodling cash will grow over time.
If you live near a big city/town that has poker machines with coins still being paid, one could noodle hundreds of coins a night for a poultry $20 in ones pocket.
EG. When crown Casino had coins in their machines, I did an all nighter starting about 2130 hours and leaving around 0900 the next day and noodled a little under 19,000 coins for some/little return. I was swapping $1,000 at a time.
Some great finds there Goldie!
Another sampling of 2014 50c errors:

Pedro
Um, er, brag time me thinks. Started to noodle the $1 coins I have here and found the following:
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/Mule_No_40_Rev.jpg)
Makes my Mule stable to 40 found.
My last Mule was found on the 2 Aug 2010 and it took me 479,990 coins in between the last find and this one.
So they are still out there even if they are few and far between.
Another 50 game quick pick in the next super draw for lotto as a gift to the people that gave it to me.
I certainly has been a good week for noodling for me.
Congratulations Goldie!!! A well deserved week for your consistent efforts!! Top stuff!!!
Great pics Pedro, you're really coming up with the cuds and it's always nice to find a 93 ...... and well done to Jeff on the 85. Both are hard coins now!
I have only ever found one 1985 50c piece in the almost 500,000 searched. Quite rare and hard to find.
Incuse 50c are coming up now and again but to find two in the same package is just pure luck. In saying that I have found over 50 of the incuses now.
Worth the hours you put in Goldy.!!!! Well done.!!
Noodles 1,000 x $1 coins today and this one turns up:

anyone got any ideas on this one, some sort of coldshut maybe, really funny mark in the bottom of the hole and it's in a triangular shape so not a dill
(http://i59.tinypic.com/qnoj10.jpg)
Could it be the marks from a very small stone/rock?
The striations within the dent look pretty even Goldie so I don't think a stone would do that. Having said that I haven't got any bright alternatives either!
Pedro
Ok I took some more crappy pic's but in the sunlight and sorry I shake so much but hope it give a better look

Beats me. Maybe Fulvio has some ideas.
just found my first rotated/upset parkes :yahoo:
Can't see it.
I am yet to find one of those.
Back to ausjack's coin with a hole. I'm actually think it could be from a drill bit, as I've seen this before. Some drill bits will leave this type of pattern (rounded triangle) if the point has not penetrated fully and if they are partly blunt or it could be from a masonry drill bit.
I'd like to see a triangular dill bit, and wouldn't the hole have some sort or bur on it..I have no idea but I suppose anything is possible. I know they have a bit that does square holes but not triangular.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALiqAXiTQBg
And I'll get you one Jeff, just lazy sorry mate as others have posted and mine isn't in that good a nick.
No, it's right -I have seen normal twist bits making triangular holes (until the full diameter of the shank has reached the hole). Especially so if blunt or incorrectly sharpened; been there, done that.
I'll send it too you so you can have a better look :ok:

This pic does it for me AJ. Ever seen those huge dump trucks they use in mining? I reckon I can see a few of them spiraling to and fro the pit. :grin: Sorry Mate, that is one unusual defect:cool:
A 2012 50c bubble above the haunch of the kangaroo - first one I have come across:

Also managed to pick up another 2 x 1993 50c and a 2014 AIATSIS.
Pedro
There a several circles/bubbles on the 2012 50c piece.
I have found three places on the clues/indications given to me by Fulvio many moons ago.
I shall try and find the links to those circles reported earlier.
Goldie - if I remember correctly there were originally 3 more prevalent 2012 50c flaws:
(1) the bubble in the reed above the kangaroo's head
(2) the bubble in the reeds to the right of the emu
(3) the two dots near the kangaroo leg/5.
Of course there were various other combinations of cuds around the shield etc.
However, I don't remember seeing any reference to a bubble on the kangaroo although other noodlers such as yourself or AJ etc may have found them and my memory has just failed!
Pedro
You've done well Pedro!!! Great pics.
It's a newie to me.
Here is the link to a previous bubble discussion. Hope it helps a wee bit.

Hmm...Possibly a strike through, maybe a chunk of metal loose between the dies? Also possibly PMD, can't say for sure.
Thanks Nevol, I have no idea but will keep it for a little :good: Maybe a coldshut??
06 die crack
(http://i57.tinypic.com/2rylsm8.jpg)
Well spotted with the die crack AJ!
The Zorro (on a bad day) mark on the other one is a bit hard to tell. Really unusual shape eh. Is there any flattening/damage on the reverse that would suggest PMD?
Nope, that's one of the first things I look for are any marks on the flip side of the error as it's a bit of a give away to PMD if there is :winkextra:
(http://i61.tinypic.com/3131y1l.jpg)
:laugh2: .... I thought you would have ..... but if your memory is like mine at the moment! Gee it would near have to be a cold shut as I can't see any displacement of metal near the edges. Funny shape eh, could near be dodecagonal by the looks, so an offcut might be on the cards?
my memory is good for a sieve :laugh2:
yeah that's what I thought about that 1998 50 cent

GRASS :swoon:

Actually haven't had that much rain here and got about 50mm of the over 100 predicted, fine misty crap that keeps things wet and keeps you in doors :dash1:
I don't want to burst any one's bubbles here but I believe the lines behind the 06 Roo are Die Polish Lines and not die cracks. Too straight and neat really to be cracks.
Sorry :cray:
Ah all good Nevol :friends: I thought they might have been but they were so big that I thought die crack, I know I wouldn't like who ever polished it to polish me car :blink: :laugh2:
Nice pick-ups AJ!
Pedro
Thanks Pedro, might have to go get some more tomorrow but no more 5 cents for a while as they do my head and eyes in :blink:
Could'nt agree more with those pesky, fiddly, eye-popping 5c - if they aren't a 1972 or an off-centre/mis-strike they get very short shrift!

My older son is 7 1/2.
The story is, we got my son a 50 cent Scholastic book and then a $1 book. We completed them and that was that. Then my dad got my son a Predecimal album and my dad has been filling up the album for my son with his spare coins. My son probably has a more complete pre decimal collect than me.
This all got me going again and I'm back into my predecimal collection and any upgrades I do I pass on the spares to my son.
Then my younger son (5 years old) also has some of my handed down Dansco albums.
So everone is happy, except for my wife.
That's what I would call a snow ball effect. That's good.
keep up the noodling, you will be surprised what might turn up.

SWEET, well done GS :good: but it also means I don't have a one off :( I still hope to find more and looked at over $100 in 2014 so far only to find one so could be a bit rare :good:
Oh and I named it the MEGA bubble :winkextra:
Yes J, I have searched may thousands of 50c pieces sin=ce you advised us all of the bubble presence and this is the first I have found. I suppose I have looked at 500 odd approx. 2014 50c pieces in my noodling so one in 500 is not a good thing.
I will continue noodling and report any other finds if and when I can find some.
My favourite bank lady (Mrs J H) brought home some coins that were cashed in today.
Six x $10 bags each of 20¢ and 50¢. I haven't opened them yet but have noticed one bag of '66 rounds and two bags that look to be nice, shiny 1970 Cooks.
Will be fun to go through that little lot.
Nice finds Goldie!!
Jeff ..... you are just blessed!! (Must be the tutu).
AJ, that emu is pretty unusual. Maybe it's the Ball Bearing Bird!
out of every $500 bag I'm getting at least $20 or more in 2014 and compared to other years it's easy double the amount so it won't be a low mintage year but like you GS I'll keep looking :)
NOW come on Jeff, I ask and ask and ask and still no rounds :( Should send Mrs J H all the time if she can jag these old coins in good nick :winkextra:
So thanks to Uni it's now the BBB, or 3B :blush:
Shush. Please, best if you don't mention the tutu.
Here is an alternative (http://resources0.news.com.au/images/2014/03/28/1226867/775672-97097354-a4ea-11e3-8dfc-d9063670fb71.jpg) for you
AJ,
Those rounds are rather grimy. Having a nice soak overnight and a rinse with acetone in the morning to see how they come up.
Then I will have a think what to do with them.
:laugh2: he was always a strange kettle of fish that downer, I was thinking about a visit but now you have me a little worried..ok maybe one day but no tutu or fish net ;) Be interesting to know how the rounds turn our as I have a few but like yours not in that good of nick.

Just the angle Robster, looks the same hight as the rest :)

I'm pretty sure he has no idea what he's doing :laugh2:

Yeah it's not often you find errors on the APEC Uni but could have been in better nick ;)
Yes indeed. I think I've only ever found a chin + cheek cud and a couple of rim laminations.

My favourite teller strikes again.
Just went to do my banking and she handed me a bag with a $2 poppy and an incused millennium.:yahoo: Apparently I now owe her $2.50!
If I keep training her I should be able to stop buying coins for noodling and have them all noodled for me at the bank.
I'd give her the $2.50 plus a box of chocolates. What a well trained teller, wish we had some like her up here.
That wasn't actually why I married her -all those years ago- but it does reinforce the decision.
I didn't realise it was wifey. That deserves a bottle of her fav tipple! :yahoo:
QuoteThat deserves a bottle of her fav tipple!
Bombay Sapphire is around $54 for a 700ml bottle. I will wait until September, when we go to Fiji (what again!) and buy her a duty free, 1 litre bottle for $36.
nice one jeffh!
Congratulations Jeff!

Well done Jeff, and yes what's this your leaving me again, you better come back mate 'cause I'll miss ya :friends:

Pedro
Gee that's a strange one Pedro and not the usual blob, well done mate :good:
And don't talk to Uni he's a turd and holds out on me ALL the time :laugh2: Nah just jivin mate, he's ok for an old hippy :friends:
You have to keep him in line or he goes wild, Mrs Uni has a really big stick for the job and not afraid to use it, isn't that right Uni :)
I was going to do a few more of the tiny cuds but most have been done so I should go tidy up a bit or duggee will think I'm a pig :( I think with budget cut backs at the RAM they must have sacked all the cleaner as there's just so many little cuds on the 50 cents it's not funny, around and behind both roo and emu.
But here's one I haven't found before, well I have but not all on the one coin
(http://i57.tinypic.com/125mg4n.jpg)
must try and do something about the light on the cudoscope.
Ok here's just a couple to show what I was talking about and there's only a few coins here but I should really go do something instead of playing with coins.

Some newies there AJ. Haven't seen the emu one before.
I have the one where the cuds are in the area between the reeds but hadn't noticed the one on the reed.
Are they all 2014 or have you snuck some other years in as well (photo 4 looks like the one you named for me - the pizzler - must admit I can't find it in my list at the minute so I may be mixing that one up, thought it was a 2013)?
Pedro
PS: Some weird stuff on the UNC 2014s that I am looking through. Have to go out shortly so will have to get back to those later in the day. I can tell you the Queen doesn't always use her handkerchief.
that lot were only a couple of 2013's Pedro and I didn't worry about the one's on the obverse or I'll be here all day, the mint is just rubbish ATM and getting worse by the day and the amount that would have been taken out years ago but are now in the pond are just unbelievable.
The fact that Q.C. is poor at the mint helps you noodlers find all these extra cuds and bubbles- surely a good thing.!!:angel:
:laugh2: on ya AJ ..... yes she's waving it around now!
These are some great finds AJ & Pedro!
Only thing is Robster I only like BIG errors :) small errors are a dime a dozen and if you collect all the small one's you very quickly end up with a lot of money sitting there, would you like some :winkextra:
:laugh2: I hope your not in trouble Uni, you know what to do don't you, hint :bye2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHoPYLQvnQM Tell her you'll be down the back :dead_horse: :angel:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FPELc1wEvk :laugh2:
Happy to view the decimal errors that you find A.J. I am still trying to label all my pre decimals. :dodgy:.
Will have some to send to you shortly.!
Some of the new shots from the 2014 50c roll.
Strange rough patch extending from Queen's nose out to lettering. Also have another one with a similar affect from the Queen's chin.

More to come although struggling with photographing some of them.
Pedro
Nice one's Perdo and maybe a little oil on the die for the top pic, keep'em coming mate :good:

and sorry for the poor pic but I got another 01 rotated/upset :yahoo:
(http://i57.tinypic.com/2epiw7n.jpg)
now I can go see what $1 I can find :)
Woo hoo AJ! Nice finds!
Thanks mate but you can suck up all ya want Uni but you better do better than that if you want my rotated :laugh2: Flowers would be nice :blush2: Just taking the you know what mate, you know what I'm like :friends: I'd like some rest but my backs been giving me a bit but it'll settle down soon, I hope, bloody thing.
Yowyser! You are doing very well noodling AJ. :yahoo:
I think my noodling days are over and I probably won't do any more. The concentration involved takes too much out of me.
Thanks Nevol and gee that's a shame because I know how much you liked do it and it helps break the boredom :( but yes I know what your saying because I find I can only do it during day light hours now because powered lights really hurts my eyes for some reason. I think it's because it makes the coin to reflective :blink: You see anything you like you just give me a cooee mate :friends:
Wow I just done an advance search on ebay and found this so gee the rotateds are a good find if you can find them. Two of them now and a lot of coins searched to get them but still can't find a wavy 20 or a $1 mule, but I live in hope :)

Excellent finds AJ! Nice gaps on the 2008s and beaut rotation.
Pedro
Thanks Pedro, I have a fair few of the gap year but in a lot better nick because they're getting a bit of age now after being in the pond for so long. I hope you find a rotated mate because they are a coin that makes you look about half a dozen times or more just to makes sure your looking at it right :good:
No noodling but the wife showed me her coins from Bowling and Netball and found a 2001 COF at 80 degree upset. First for some time.
Well done GS, actually it's been some time for me as well, must be getting close now :)
I have some $1 to do so a bit of luck but think I might have used it all on the 20 cent but that's ok :winkextra:
I am seriously thinking of reducing the number of 50c coins and doing some 20c instead.
Not sure what to do as the 50c bags, ($200.00), give me more than 50c pieces.
My last five bags of 50c,($200.00 per bag), I ended with $25.55 in other denominational coins.
A nice little profit but one can't expect that every time.
Ah got you interested in the 20 again did I GS :winkextra:
Ok here's what I found from the $1's and a few new one's for me as well.

(http://i59.tinypic.com/3df20.jpg)
Nice work AJ!
Great pics too!
I've never found a filled R on the 1984 although I always look.
Has the 2001 die filled A also have a bit of a die fill up the top on the Y?
I had a cud on the Scouts though it was further along than yours, so another newie!
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/11067/2008_1_scout_1.jpg)
The 2001 & 2007 are both new to me so with all those and the NCLT you've had a pretty good day I reckon!!!
Hey that's not bad Uni :good: yeah the Y does have a bit of a fill mate. I don't know how many 84 filled I have but think there's a few there but due to age they're pretty bloody rough like me :winkextra: Not a bad haul so back to the bank tomorrow :)
The 2001 die fill A (and Y) that I had wasn't as filled as yours.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/11067/2001_1_vol_fill_ay_2.jpg)
So how much ya gonna give me for it, a squillion dollars :laugh2:
Not quite I'd imagine .....
I'm pretty sure I sold mine for $5 ..... which included $1.40 postage ...... but as you know, it's a labour of love :give_heart:
So I'm not worth a squillion, poop :cray: Suppose I better keep noodling then :)
Yes, keep noodling if you keep coming up with those.
I have some dollars to show but am just going out now so maybe, tomorrow -a good haul from a couple of Armaguard bags.
:acute: you just love holding out and teasing me don't you Jeff, lucky your pretty cool mate so I look forward to them :friends:
Picked these up this morning. Pretty happy with the AIATSIS and the NSW federation.
[attachment=3182]
Nice little haul mkonst, keep'em coming mate :good:
:i_agree: ..... The AIATSIS are a nice coin and hard to find (to me at least). The 1988 $1 looks nice.

:agreed:
2nd AIATSIS that I have found in circulation, both in the last week. They are starting to show up in western Sydney. I've been playing swapis in a few vending machines before I come to work.
As promised.
I bought two Armaguard $500 bags the other day and here are some of my findings;
The pick of the keepers from the first bag. I think someone may have cashed in their stash.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/_1_good_0315.JPG)
A few errors in the other bag.
•1985 clip
•1994 and 1998 ears
•2001 rim cud
•2005 hat cud
•2 x 2008 double tail/1 cud
•2008 rim cud
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/_1_errors_0315.jpg)
Armaguard should pack more bags like those and send them to me!
My cream of the crop selection; the one I like most. Beautiful golden toning, high brilliance and nary a mark. Looks fantastic "in the hand" -the scans don't do it justice.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/2003__1_0315.jpg)
Now come on, gee bloody well done Jeff, some really nice coins and some nice errors so I'll send you some money to get me a few bags :winkextra:
I totally agree ...... there was someone's collection in there. Wonderful coins! I love the 2003 volunteers.
Gee some terrific finds recently!
Any ideas on this one - PMD, cold shut?

Pedro
Not real sure but would lean toward PMD sorry Pedro
No worries AJ - I was leaning that way myself. It was only the sort of lamination bits at the sides that had me wondering.
Pedro
Here is my collection of noodled coins for the day:
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/2015-03-13_15-58-52_2124.jpg)
The 2015 is a Kangaroo $1.
Wow Goldie!!! What a great bunch!!!
:wavemulticolor::wavemulticolor:
second that, well done GS :good:
That is a good haul.
once again Goldie very nice
Wow - a 2015 $1 and a coloured $1. Excellent finds Goldie!
Pedro
I believe that's the first 2015 coin from circulation that's been reported. Well done trendsetter Goldie! :biggrin:
Yeah I know not as good as GS but I found my first 2014 mor :yahoo: Better go see what else I can find, FA out of the bag of 50 cents :(
As the only noodling I do now is the coins I get in change, I don't think I'll see any circulating 2015 coins for another 6 months or more. :cray:
I had to look hard on the second look to ensure that it was in fact a 2015 Kangaroo $1. The COA 50c is my second 2014 Bubble.
That is in fact the second coloured dollar I have found. The other was scratched porpoise or dolphin found ages ago.
The rabbit ears are starting to show up quite regularly now.
I only got $4.25 extra out of Fridays swap over.
And how many 2014 bubble would you have if I didn't say anything, I'm keeping everything to myself and especially when I can't find any more...it's not fair it's not fair :icon_cry:
I'll show one's like these, 2014 0 cud will be a dime a dozen :dodgy:
(http://i58.tinypic.com/140viwo.jpg)
(http://i57.tinypic.com/59wiyr.jpg)
Come on AJ ..... show us some more bubbles!!!!!
(And that doesn't include MJ's chimp).
I can't, I need the 2015's to get here but that won't be for months yet :( Just thinking I have a fair few on different coins, I have 2010 and 2012 20 cent 2012 and 2 sorts of 2014 50 cent big bubble and between emu's legs, 2006 proof 1 cent so besides the 2010 20 I have found the rest :) So until then this will just have to do you sorry
(http://i57.tinypic.com/2ilhg5i.jpg)
Is this a new guessing competition -how many bubbles in this pla(nche)te?
I guess 1,247.
:laugh2: could be Jeff, you shouldn't give me ideas as it can be quite dangerous sometimes :)
I'll have a pun(t) ...... 1,247 ..... what, someone's already guess that ..... snap ............. (crackle and pop).
That's now 1098 (but the remainder seem to be soggy -milk, I think).
Some non-cud finds. They look better in the hand than captured by the USB:

Pedro
Sorry Pedro but the link didn't work properly mate :(
Also broke open a roll of 2014 50c. Almost a RAM perfect score 19/20 had at least one cud - generally one or more of the following - crack on the kangaroo's paw, cud under the LHS bottom of the shield, cud on kangaroo's shoulder and the filled area in the crook of the kangaroo's tail.
Pedro
Revised the links I think they are OK now AJ.
Pedro
:yahoo: nice one Pedro and looks like you might have done a Jeff and found someone's stash that's been put back into the pond, well done mate :good:
is the 79 a double bar??
I was hoping the '79 would be but unfortunately no.
Pedro
Oh well it's still a nice looking coin.
Good finds there Pedro!
Interesting stats on the 2014's too!
Well this is my first one ever so yet again pretty chuffed today :yahoo:
(http://i60.tinypic.com/5kq2hk.jpg)
(http://i61.tinypic.com/4hs4cn.jpg)
now to see if there's any thing good in there :winkextra:
I scored something nice today in my noodling:
1 x 2014 Bubble 50c and this:-
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/uPSET_fIND_16_fEB_15.JPG)
I have measured it at 256 degrees.
I still have 2,000 x 20c to go yet.
Nice rotation there GS :good:
:i_agree: Well done Goldie!
I like your haul AJ! At least it won't take you long to sort them into year. I've not seen a mint bag before.
:laugh2: yep but not much to look at but just about every coin has a tiny cud on either the 2 or 0 but not much else but have only done half the bag so hope to find something/anything..come on coin god please be good to me :beg: I'll be asking for any more mint bags I can get my hot little hands on :winkextra:

:dodgy: Well I now know where these marks are coming from, bloody bloody mint is what's doing them and there's a few different sorts so must be from a few different machines, thought it might have been from a counting machine at the banks but after getting a mint bag hot off the press every second coin has them, along with bag marks galore :dash1:
now that you mention that aj, got a mint roll of 2014 MOR coins in October last year broke them up a couple weeks back and a few had these marks in them too. not happy
Don't blame ya coop, you'd think they'd be in a lot better condition coming straight from the mint and I haven't found one coin that hasn't got some sort of mark or scuff on it :(
they are getting gradually worst and worst coming straight out of the mint, every single one was in pretty rough condition. but I suppose that's part of collecting you win some you loose some. in my case loosing 75% of the time. oh well I enjoy it
:laugh2: ........ try finding the goodies after they're into circulation ...... thousands of dollars worth can reveal nothing worth keeping.
But the again ........... (insert suspense filled moment) .......... nah nothing ....... :laugh2:
How true both statements are, thanks men now I don't feel so alone :friends:
Alone, alone ..... I'm looking over your shoulder AJ ..... (and to be honest I'm sick of 2014 20c pieces ......:laugh2:)
AJ, your far from alone! persist and you might find hmmmmmm a mule? ahaha chances of that are slim sorry uni
not sure if I can help you ! :)
head up boys theres more of us out there
:laugh2: ..... Don't worry Coop's ..... I love it mate, else I wouldn't do it. (I think Mr Beanie feels somewhat similar).
its part of it I suppose you have your good days and your bad but in the end its always fun and that's why I spend three quarters of my time doing it!
yeah all true :)
Wanna know a secret, I found another pre bubble on the 2014 50 cent but if I told ya where I'd have to kill ya but it's not the same as the others and found two so that's three different sorts so now it's someone else's turn to find something new so I don't have to carry ya'll as ya's are getting mighty heavy..you's can call me atlas :laugh2: I might spill the beans later..maybe, or then again maybe not because I am a fair bastard :yahoo: so who loves me the most :winkextra:

Nice one AJ!
very nice Aj im yet to find one, maybe one day when I really get into the noodling side of things...
ONE DAY!
I noodled these out of the coins I collected on Wednesday.
They include:
1 x Incuse, 3 x Planchet Faults, 1 x NCLT coin:
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/2015-03-19_19-17-09_2153.jpg)
Keep lookin Coop, and if you haven't found one by crissie and you've been a good boy ya just never know what santa might have in his bag for ya, but remember ya gotta be good :winkextra:
Not a bad haul again GS, well done mate :good:
I am finding it very hard to maintain my 2 x bags of $1 and 5 x bags of 50c coins, three times a week.
It really is starting to take its toll.
Honestly I don't know how you can do that many GS because it really takes it out of me doing a bag of each every couple of days or over a week.

Dear Goldseeker,
It sounds like you are stuck in a rut. You need to get out more and "get a life".
Some time in a cash free environment will be therapeutic. I prescribe a world cruise.
Dr. Jeff, agony uncle. Here to solve all your medical and social problems.
That is just what I really do need as the missus is pushing for the World cruise in 2017/or 2018.
However, back on topic, I found these today;
\
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/2015-03-20_16-38-13_2154.jpg)
1 X 1993 50c and a 2014 "Bubble".
Further, and a bit off track, my first grandson David turns two today and his parents just given him a brother a couple of hours ago.
Overall, it is getting to be quite a day.
Congrats on the Grand nipper Goldie. Our little mate is three and a bit, they sure are treasures.
Just done $1200 of $1 coins from the machines at the laundromat. Some very nice condition commemoratives and a number of error and flaw coins.
The Centenary of Federation is the best looker (beautiful golden toning and nice and shiny) but, if I had to make a choice, I would keep the spew roo/rabbit ears (2010) first.

Very nice Jeff ...... you'll have to get a hat rack for all those variations of the peace one!
Well I do have a hat rack but it is full of real hats!
Some great finds Jeff, and yes, the 2001 does look like a ripper and the 2010 is a special too!
Pedro
Here are my noodling finds for today:
Bulk Coins include an Incuse 50c, scarce 1993 50c, 2011 Lizard Tongue $1, 2010 Rabbit Ear/Spew Roo, and my first ever die crack $1 that is shown in more details below the group photo:
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/Noodling_Finds_25_Mar_15.jpg)
Below is a scan of my very first Die Crack. I first thought it was a scratch across the coin until I looked at it through the micro scope and then I did a yahoo dance:
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/2011_Die_Crack.jpg)
That's a nice set of finds Goldie!!!!
What year is the die crack?
(I'll guess 2013 by the wear).
What is it with you and these Incuses Goldy? :yahoo: You got an Incuse magnet or what? :friends:

There's not many errors on the 2011's and that is one beaut die crack!

Well done Goldie!
Where is the bubble?
Geebus serial put ya glasses on mate, it's bloody huge and don't even need a loupe to see it and it's behind the emu and has like a double s running through them :good:
Oh. Once you see it then its hard to miss. Thanks aus
Maybe one for AJ to look for, not exactly a "Bubble"
but is in fact round.

I found this the other week so not getting $1 from the NAB any more because I've found quite a few in the armourguard rolls now :(

that pic of the dove reminds me of this song :)

Is our the exchange rate that bad already?
Quarters more usually turn up disguised as 10¢ coins. That's what got me started on statehood quarters.
I have had a couple of New Zealand $1 coins lately with my $1 noodling.
Yeah Jeff I've had a few of the different island coins turn up and can live with that a bit easier as you can sly they back in but these things are different colour size and a little over 8 grams for our doll and the quarter is a little over 5 grams so a bit harder to pass it off as a dollar :(
just a quick scan of a $200 bag I decided to sort as the sun is finally coming up and found these so 2014 isn't going to be a low mintage by any stretch of the imagination and there's twice as many COA, remember to look for the three sorts of bubbles, big behind the emu still only found one, small between emu's legs and small behind roo and the roo seems rarer than the leg one as I've only found a couple of them so happy hunting :) Also a pretty good bag 'cause found a decent 69 a rams head and 4x feds and one was SA so pretty happy so far so now to look for other errors because it looks like another wet day so not much else to do, can't wait for the sun as I don't like rainy days as they sort of bring me down a little but not much can be done about it.

Nice die crack on the last picture. Nice pickup.
Keep an eye out on the 2014's GS there are heaps of different errors mate.
some really nice pictures turning up, photo skills are great people :)
Nice work there AJ! Great pics.
Love the die crack.
The strike through on the Queen's cheek is pretty cool too. Maybe she's chewing her cud ......... (too soon?).
Wow! I reckon AJ and Goldie are having a private competition to see who finds the best errors etc. I judge they are currently neck & neck. :whistle2::winkextra:
Well done both of you! :yahoo: :wavemulticolor:
Thanks team, but GS does me hands down but that's cool and just happy others are posting their finds so here's the rest of the bag I did today nothing special but the SA isn't too bad and same as the 69 for it's age and sorry it's only a quick scan as the 69 looses it's cartwheel and luster
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2guk2mr.jpg)
Jeff dropped out of that race just past the first turn -could not keep up.
Come on mate you can still catch us in the home straight..go you good thing :)
Oh no! He's broken down -I think the stewards are bringing out the screens.
I keep trying but, with only two bank branches in a small town, access to noodling coin is very limited.
Get up god damn you, get up and finish the race :dead_horse:
Nah it's all good Jeff, I know what it's like mate because even though we have a few more banks only a few get new coins in and the rest are recycled so your looking at the same coins over and over and over :dash1:
Notice I'm using the new soft whip :angel:

Hey oz good to see you mate but I know what you mean as I've been on and off a lot trying to get a few jobs done around here, just having a break on here 'cause of all the rain ATM.
Haven't seen this affect so widespread before. Similar ragged ghosting applies on much of the design on the obverse.

That's super cool Pedro.
I've seen the "welding slag" on the reverse of the 2001 but can't say I can recall it to that extent on the obverse.
Great pics!
Thanks Uni. Will keep an eye out for the reverses as well (yet something else to try and remember!).

This effect was discussed a bit on the 'old' forum, sometimes referred to as 'pearls' or 'beads'. I have a few examples of it, and it also occurs on 2001 $2.
Thanks Nancy!
I don't usually pay a lot of attention to $2s so another one for the memory bank.
Pedro
AJ made a nice find recently.
I won't steal his thunder by telling you what it is, You will just have to be Patient :angel:
Waiting with bated breath. :yahoo:
:yahoo: wait no more, speak the devils name and he shall appear :mocking:
Been flat out doing my odd jobs but still a lot to go but really need a break because I'm pretty sore so decided to have a little noodle but got a real warm fuzzy after finding this so keep looking people as they are still around so some dreams can come true :) So here ya go GS, just to keep you motivated :winkextra:
(http://i57.tinypic.com/23ky9lt.jpg)
Wow AJ!
Good on ya!
I hope that wasn't in the same bag as all those 2014's :laugh2:
Nope and I didn't do it in the shed either :blush2: but not from lack of trying, but I'll get it down pat one day :winkextra:
Great find AJ!! :yahoo:
Pedro
Thanks Pedro :)
Now to find a bloody mule, gee they're the hard one's now :dodgy:

That's a great lamination on Henry AJ!
Now you just keep ya dirty little peeper of that Uni :laugh2:
Thanks mate, yeah it's different alright :)
It's possible the bit on the nose is the bit that's missing to the right that has folded over to the left. Nice find anyway! :yahoo:
The 09 arm cud is also one I haven't seen before (that I can remember anyway). :biggrin:
Going great guns there AJ - some terrific catches!
Pedro
Thanks team :good:
:scratch_one-s_head: interesting you say that Nevol, I'll have to see what other one's I have because I know I have more there..somewhere :)
Nice lamination AJ and congrats on the Wavey 20c.
However, I did find a Mule yesterday but I can't put up a scan as my Desk Top is in for maint.
Will post all later.
Well done Goldie ..... your consistent efforts continue to reward you!
More excellent work with the mules Goldie!

Well done GS and you've been getting a few different errors there Pedro, well done :good:
Cool doubling Pedro!
Thanks guys. Still working my way through the latest pile.
Back to the 50c - 2012. A few I haven't seen before:
Crack in the "B" in initials - looks like a crack but I'm not sure.

Gee you still going Pedro, I must do the 50's and a bag of rotten 5's, gee I hate them but still tend to get a bag once in a blue moon for a change.
The latest newie - 2014 50c, of course - the earring (or perhaps the noose for those who are more morbidly inclined):

Anyway here's a variation of an oldie - 2012 50c - emu bubble and die crack

Pedro
You sure that's a die crack and not PMD Pedro as it looks sunk in and not coming up but then pic's can be very deceiving :winkextra:
:dontknow: Not sure AJ.
Pedro
Alternate shot of the 2012 50c - not sure it adds much but perhaps looking more like PMD?
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/2012_50c_emu_bubble_alt_resized.jpg)
Pedro
gee you've got me Pedro, not really sure what to make of it sorry :scratch_one-s_head:
Nice one Pedro. It looks like a die crack. I'll have to dig out my bubbles and see if I can find one with a crack to confirm.
The earring is super cool .... the closeup looks like a little man standing on a bubble ....... yes it's BUBBLEMAN! (Just for you AJ).

nice cud! here is one I got from a mint roll
I think I got a few of them

(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/11197/2001_cof_cud_b.jpg)
I found a low echidna 2012 5c piece which is most likely a mint set coin.
Also got 1 Thai baht, 10 Singapore cents and 5 New Zealand 5c pieces from $50 of 5 cent pieces.
Found a few nice foreign coins but not much else really so here's one's that I know I haven't posted before because they're the first one's I've found, canadian 10 cent in with the 5's and if they can put a design on such a small coin why the hell can't we :dash1: Quite a nice looking coin
(http://i59.tinypic.com/34j6l1j.jpg)
and here you can see it's actually a little smaller than our 5
(http://i59.tinypic.com/2j1side.jpg)
and found this pommy 10 pence in with our 10 cents but it goes with the 5 pence I found a few months ago and have the 1 and 2pence coming from another member so if anyone could please help with the rest of the set it would be most appreciated :hi: I need the 20, 50 and 1 pound. Put them all together and it makes a shield so something else our lot could do with our coins.

I think my noodling finds have come to a sudden end.
The "which bank" will not exchange bagged coin for bagged coin and I am very disappointed with this bank.
I shall now have to look for another bank that allows me to do what I like with my money and transfer everything I have with the "which bank" to the new bank.
Blast the "Which bank".
you need to have a dump bank and buy bank. I dump my coins at a bank that supplies a lot of local businesses so I know my noodled coins will be distributed and I get my noodle coins from a branch who I have a good relationship with (built up over time) and they order them in for me and know why I want them which will come in handy if I ever get audited for money laundering because of the 100's of thousands of dollars passing through my account.
Bank teller to federal police "don't mind him he is just a weirdo who looks through change for a hobby"
that's fine Serial but in what packaging do you return the coins to the receiving bank in?
Further, how much do you return at a time as I am talking about $1,000 in $1 coins and $1,000 in 50c pieces?
I bag them in standard bank bags (my withdraw bag gives me a box of them at a time.
depending on what I have been noodling I will bank $2k worth of $1 or $4-$6k of $2 or $500 in mixed 5c,20c,10,50c
so 2 full bank bags at a time and 2 days noodling
my arms are getting buff :)

I suspect the bank/manager will be looking at what you were doing and thinking "This is not making us any money and is taking staff time which should be used to make us money".
After much a do today in getting new supplies of coins, I eventually ended up with a new supplier of $1 coins. This is the first finds from the new supplier:
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/2015-05-06_19-46-25_0148.jpg)
It includes 2010 Spew roo, 2009 Kangaroo Back Cud, 2008 Rabbit ear, Korean War Dollar MM "C", and a Sir Henry Parkes UPSET.
Now here is a close up of the new 2009 Backsplash Roo as my wife calls it"
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/2015-05-06_20-39-55_0154.jpg)
Not a bad haul for a first time supplier.
Gee Goldie that's a lovely set of finds!
Well done Goldseeker!
I hope your noodling supplies remain good.
My supply of coins have been cur to a third of what I have been doing for some time now but I am hoping I will get back to full production in the not too distant future.
Damn "which bank".
Nice haul Golgie. I hope your luck holds steady. :angel:
:which bank: is the only one that I have to have an account with and want to charge to do what the others do for free.
Did the other left over noodling 50c pieces tonight and this one popped up"

An impaired one at that. Also, interesting that there is fish-tailing on AUSTRALIA.
Well done GS, it's strange some of the things that come to the surface of the pond sometimes. Good to see the new supplier has made a good start :good:
Pity the coin looks rather rough after blowing it up with the scanner. The majority of scratches can hardly be seen by the naked eye.
Never mind, unless it is needed, I shall send it back into the pond.
Yes I agree GS, coins that have been scanned look so much better in hand as the scanners show every imperfection and don't really show any toning, cartwheel or luster. I got a few bags yesterday so hopefully find something over the weekend :)
haha a proof, love it
noodled a wavy 20c this week.
[attachment=3225]
Lucky devil you is.
The only thing I found was a 2010 Rabbit Ear, 1985 50c piece and a 2001 COF Upset at 279 degrees.
I'll swap you for it.........

While getting ready for work this morning, my youngest daughter came our for a hug. After settling her down I unfolded out her foam lounge to lay her on it and a 2011 10c fell on the ground. A nice specimen that is now in my collection. I may have to check her other toys now...

Noodling again and this little lot turns up:
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/Noodling_Finds_12_May_15.jpg)
Two 2014 50 c Bubbles, Last ANZAC "C", two lamination flaws and a 1985 50c piece.
Someone wrote in another thread that the 1965 and 1993 50c coins are hard to find. Is this correct?
More great finds Goldie!
1985 50c are like hen's teeth but 1993s tend to turn up a little more regularly. Have tripped over a few '93s in the last few months.
Pedro
Thanks Pedro for your comment. I have had a small run on the 1985 50c pieces of late and only found 2 or 3 of the 1993 50c pieces. One can only keep looking.
I am getting quite a few of the 2014 "Bubble" 50's though. Might have to start throwing them back into circulation. I stopped looking for the 2012 bubbles ages ago.
:fie: I'm still looking as I only found that one mega bubble so I'll take any your going to put back in the pond GS :)
That's one up on me AJ! :(
Pedro
Well done Goldie! Another nice lot.
Pedro, I'm with you, yet to find one, though I haven't been able to noodle much of late.
What year bubbles are you after please folks?
2014 Goldie.
Pedro
:yeah_that:
my biggest haul of NCLT I've got from one bag and 08 & 13 RE

Well done AJ!
The 2013's are so hard to come by. Top stuff!
Oh, I'll have to see how many 2013 I have :)

Those nose cuds in the second last pic are funny little marks.
AJ - are there only the two bubbles on the 2014 50c - the one pictured above and the one to the right of the emu?
Pedro
Nah mate there's 3, 1 behind the roo that Nevol posted and the mega bubble behind the emu and then there's a tinny little one between the emu's legs.
so here's mega bubble again
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2r292y9.jpg)
I'll have to try and get a better one but here's the one about half way down between the legs :)
(http://i57.tinypic.com/2zpujcg.jpg)
Thanks AJ!
Pedro
Pleasure Pedro :hi: Would you like one of the between the leg one's, I've found about 10 now and I'm happy to share :friends: So only found 1 mega bubble and only about 3 or 4 behind the roo so there no where as common as the 2012 bubble as I have heaps of them.
Me not found the one between the legs yet but quite a few behind the Emu.

Thanks AJ. I have been keeping an eye out for the behind the emu but not the other two. Let me go back through some of the 2014s I have around and see if I have any luck with the others. If I come up short I'll give you a yell.
Pedro
It sort of beggars belief that all these 'bubbles' have turned up on 2014 50c.
Apparently the dies are never inspected during the minting process and it seems pretty obvious that the output is never inspected, or if it is, it must be by someone who is virtually blind.
second that Nevol :dodgy:
Here's a few from the latest batch
haven't found one of these 1980 bum cuds for a while

Nice doubling AJ!
I don't even usually bother checking the 1980's stuff - just looking for nice ones, double bars etc. Doh!
Pedro
I found a 2014 MoR $1 and a 1972 5c (in pretty poor condition) today.
You should Pedro as I have a few laminations that I've found on the earlier years.
Well done Oz because they are what they are mate :good:
AC gets $10 for 1972 5 cents :) I have only found 2 2014 mor so they might end up pretty low mintage and worth keeping :winkextra:
The emu bum cud on the 1980 50c is new to me. I have it on 1979 though.
A better than average day for noodling finds:
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/2015-05-19_20-02-39_0214.jpg)
The batch includes 2 x incuse 50c's, rabbit ears, spew roo/rabbit ears, flaking $1 Obv and 2 x NCLT's.
Your new source is really working out well for you. Great stuff. :good:
The new supplier seems even better than the old one Goldie!
In revisiting some 2014 50c found this one with doubling in places I haven't seen previously for this year - under the emu's beak on the zero:

Pedro
Been quiet lately but managed to find some time to noodle some vending machines this morning and found these. The 2 $1 are both 2014 MoR's.
[attachment=3233]
Nicely done Mate :yahoo:
hold on to the 2014 MOR, think it's going to be a pretty low mintage :good:
I find that many that I am throwing the 2014 MOR back into the pond.
Are you saying I should keep hold of them?
Well after hearing you say that they might not be so low as I only have two but have over 200 of the 100 years of anzac $1, that I have to sort for errors then cull out a couple of good one's and ditch the rest. I so wish the RAM site would update sooner than they do.
Quote from: 'Goldseeker' pid='72807' dateline='1432216276'I find that many that I am throwing the 2014 MOR back into the pond.
:shok:
I thought there was only supposed to be 1.0m of the 2014 MORs? With so many ANZAC $1s out there I wouldn't have thought they needed to up the MORs.
Pedro
If I was finding a lot of 2014 MOR's, I'd probably keep all the reasonable ones until after the next RAM Report when we might find out how many of them were minted. I've got temporary figures of 2m MOR and 23m ANZAC in my mintages spreadsheet, but have no idea where they came from.
What do you reckon AJ - cud or mini bubble (2014 50c of course)? It looks like it has a small hole in the middle but maybe that it just my vivid (very appropriate for Sydneysider today!) imagination.

Pedro
:laugh2: yep looks like a mini bubble to me, well spotted :good:
Nice one Pedro ..... it's a wonder you saw it with the massive shield cud in the road!
Would you believe Uni that I didn't notice the shield cud until after I took the photo of the bubble - talk about things staring you in the face and not seeing them!
Pedro
:laugh2: ..... Sounds exactly like something I'd do Pedro!
me three :)
Hey does that make us the "Three Missedcudeers"
:laugh2: (or three blind mice)
Pedro
:laugh2: maybe a combo of both :angel:
but we are brothers in arms :fans:
I like it AJ!
I see you're there on the end with ya beanie ..... I'm on the other (though there's two horns) ..... and Pedro in the middle!
:laugh2: I was going to say exactly that but thought I'd been cheeky enough :blush2:
:laugh2: This is all getting too spooky when we see the same thing!

I don't know. It just looked nice and for the age it hasn't been out in circulation for too long. First time that I have noticed getting one. And I don't have one, so it will do for me.

Not a bad couple of days noodling.
Wow! You are doing very well Goldie! Congratulations! :yahoo:
Noodled a wavy two this morning. Picture can be found in the "Buy / Sell / Trade / Wanted" section.
May not be as good as JeffH above find but I am still finding a few odds and ends:
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/2015-05-28_18-09-01_0297.jpg)
Well done Goldie! I see that some 93s have fallen your way.
Pedro
Gee Goldie, I think your full house just pips my latest. 1985 and 1993 50¢, Terra Australis $1 and two rabbit ears. Plus an aUNC NSW CoF 50¢.
I say a close call.
Gee, you're all going great guns!!!!
Ooh Goldie, I might just lead trumps now with my bower...A nice spew roo.
Pics tomorrow.
Well here are my finds for today:
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/Noodling_Fids_29_May_15.jpg)
I am happy with the NCLT find and the coloured $2 coins that the Mrs with nick, buy, steal, get her hands on them.
I am not in competition with anyone but I still think I must be in front of the number tof COF Upsets found.
I JUST have to be number 1 somewhere.........!

If it is a 2010, how many would you like?
It is a 2010 and I have sufficient of those to keep me happy -OK, OK not as many as you.
But I suppose all yours are MS68 sumfin or are they?
Mine are all from the bottom of the barrel.
From just above some of mine.
A little success with the noodling (and one from change):
2014 $1 MOR
2013 $1 MOR flea in the ear
2014 50c emu leg bubble (yay - still got to hunt the other two down!)
From change yesterday - a 2004 pointy A 20c including doubling on lettering and the Queen's face

(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/May_2015.jpg)
Nice little haul Jeff - great stuff!
Pedro
My first 2014 MOR, NCLT RAM.
The Quarter was in an Armaguard $1 roll. I often seem to get duded on the rolls. 5c in the $2 rolls are the worst offenders.

The Rams head coin is a keeper
Nice coins team :good:
I have had to stop noodling as I am not allowd to lift/carry anything ovwer 1Kg due to my recent op.
May not get noodling at all for the next three months.
Blast it!
Hmmm... How about: Open the sacks and place 1 bag at a time into a trolley for transporting?
I can't imagine Goldy not noodling....
Hey, I am not allowed to drive for three weeks.
My wife will not under any circumstances swap coins at the bank for me.
Me is isolated.
Boo hoo!

Gee you lot have been quiet this weekend so I may as well keep talking even no one listens :(
Ok grading thoughts on this please, I was noodling yesterday and thought, gee there's a lot of 2000's in this bag and then thought gee it's been a while sinse I or anyone had found or posted one and think this might be my best one yet :yahoo: Looking at my others slabbed this should go minimum of AU58..with a bit of luck and still have a bag to go so another would be really nice :)
I decided to take two lots of pic's, one with out shadows over it as it was catching all the reflections around it.

Very nice AJ! Well done!
Thanks Uni, now to get some more coins to send off, should really sort my wedding sets out and send some of them as well but maybe wait till the dollar comes back a bit..if it does :dodgy:
Gee I wish pcgs would get with the program and set one up here like they did in,
International Web Sites
PCGS China
PCGS Europe
PCGS Asia
I'm sure there's a few people here that could grade for them.
:dash1: :dash1: :dash1: God I'm so thick sometimes it's not funny, stupid bloody queens birthday is probably why it's so quiet, only just remembered. That's the trouble when you don't do anything any more and one days the same as the next and just flows into each other and you hardly notice weekends and the years become a blur..and the years seem to be getting quicker as I get older and I wonder if other feel like it :scratch_one-s_head: I blink and it's like another years gone as just look at it now and half has gone and yet again I feel I've done nothing and for the last 10 years just feel like I've accomplished sweet FA and not really getting any further ahead in any aspects as I just screw things up all the time but hey I'm still here so problems can be worked on :winkextra:
I still listen to you buddy .
Yeah I know you do and I appreciate it heaps, thank you so very much :thank_you:
Nice find AJ. :yahoo:
Thanks Nevol, yep I got a bit of a warm fuzzy when I found it :)

Very nice Incuse find there. A wee bit better than some of mine.
Having a good week with $1 coins. Here are some results of damaged dies. And NCLT is always welcome -this is the 2000 PNC version not a 1999 mint your own.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/June_2015a.jpg)
Plus an assortment of some very shiny coins -not that a scan really picks that up- in good condition. The $2 poppy is a nice one I had in change.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/June_2015b.jpg)
Nice pick-ups Jeff - even the 2015s have arrived!
Pedro
And minimal bag marks on the ones I found.
Nice pick-ups Jeff! :yahoo:
A great assortment there Jeff!
Stop it, Stop it, Stop it, I am seriously getting upset because I can't noodle at this time due to my back operation.
I am getting jealous of you all.
No, really, just kidding. Good luck to you all on your noodling finds but please, LEAVE SOME FOR ME TO FIND.
Goldy,
I think it's the other way around....
Everyone else should be telling you to leave some for us to find!
I hope your back gets better quickly.
Here's a selection of more recent finds:
1999 20c - cuds on the zero
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/1999_20c_cuds_on_zero_resized.jpg)

Doing well with those rotations Jeff!

Gee you're on a roll Jeff !!!! Congratulations :good:

Found a second 2012 50c with the bubble on the kangaroo so it has a mate now.

Pedro
Nice rotations Jeff. I wish I could some noodling and get some more as well.
this is just so depressing :(
Why depressing?
Is it because you aren't finding the same?
Cheer up, I have stopped noodling and will not commence again till on or after the 19 Sep 15. So you can find the ones that I am not getting.
Cheer up, it can only get better.
A few new catches:
2011 50c - an unusually shaped cud on the top right hand corner of the shield

Pedro
Excellent Pedro!!!
The 2013 Bubble is super clear. My mind fails me at the moment as to whether I've seen a 2013 bubble there.
The same thought had crossed my mind Uni - perhaps AJ has posted one before :dontknow:
Pedro
Just went through $60 of 20c pieces - I found three Centenary of Federations and a 2004 big head (and no foreigners). Best haul in a long time.
That's a pretty good result for $60 worth. Well done Mr T :good:
last night I got a 50 years of tv dollar from the RSL caboolture
Excellent find Kel!
Pedro
:good: Nice find Kel! I love finding NCLT coins.
Well done team :good: I've been a bit slack on the noodling recently :(
Just came across another 2015 50c - more cuds on the Queen's face in different spots to the earlier one:

Good to see the mint still hasn't dropped it's standards :blink:
No AJ - the mint has improved. Now the cuds appear right from the get go! :D
Pedro
:laughingneqw:
Your a trick Pedro :winkextra:
Found this 1994 rabbit (maybe a hare) ears in a noodle today - biggest ears I have picked up to date.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/1994__1_large_rabbit_ear_cud_resized.jpg)
Pedro
yes the 94 and 98 seem to have the biggest, you've been doing well Pedro but leave some for me mate :(
Just turned up a 2011 pad printed Kookaburra $1. No colour on it -looks like whoever removed the colour hasn't heard of acetone and used a sharp implement to scratch it off. Hard to recognise it is a kooka.
Has to be worth a dollar unless it is listed on eBay as a "very rare mint error; only one known". :shok:
2015 $1
in change
very shiny too

Good work RG! Like Nevol, AJ & Trout it takes a bit of time for them to get to us, but hopefully they'll start turning up soon.

I should find my first one in change around about 2018 :angel:
I expect to see some 2015 coins by the middle of next year.
I've only found one 2015 and I think it must have come from someone travelling interstate so a bit longer before I get them and by then they're that beaten up it's not funny, road kill is one word that comes to mind :dodgy:
aw AJ - I can post it to you
it is real shiny so I think I had just got let out into the wild
Nah it's all good thank RG, I'm more looking for errors these days and not pretty pretties, but thanks anyway :friends:
errors
now you are talkin' !!!
I have a lot higher chance of finding errors than pretty pretties, will keep you all informed as I find them :ok:
started on a 20 cent bag today and found a nice little die crack on a 2014
(http://i61.tinypic.com/5yxohv.jpg)
and this
(http://i58.tinypic.com/2rgi4wz.jpg)
bottom one looks like a die chip
some sort of oil fill I think RG :)
just found a couple of 2000 20 cents
I have come across this before but maybe not as big, cuds on 2 and the 0
(http://i58.tinypic.com/e716cx.jpg)
but I haven't come across this one before and spewin it's not in better nick, two small cuds on ripple
(http://i59.tinypic.com/59xwub.jpg)
now to see what else I can find :)
Great pick-ups AJ - not sure how you even picked out the second lot of cuds! Bit of doubling action on the top 20c as a bonus.
Pedro
Top job AJ!
Gee you have a great eye for spotting them!
thank you so here the last of that bag, the start of a 1996 cud so I imagine there should be bigger one's getting around..somewhere :scratch_one-s_head:

These are some of AJ's noodling finds he gave me. Sorry if you've already seen them, but they're new to me. :angel:

there were two coins that had that funny mark and one had it on the opposite side but both on the reverse from my sad memory, look close as there were a few errors and some I hadn't seen so thought you'd like them ;)
I like the beak cud, thought that was a ripper :)
Gee they are all beauts! I haven't seen any of those before. Great pics Nevol & AJ. The nose cud might be my favourite and the Will& Kate dots has got me scratching my head. :scratch_one-s_head:
Wish I had a bigger thing for the error stuff like you bunch of prospectors :angel: It must be like picking nuggets of the creek bed. :sun_bespectacled: Sounds fun :yahoo:
the funny dots inside the rim get me and have a few now on a few different coins.
No auto nuggets are a lot harder to find as there's no quality control at the mint any more :(
Ok here's a couple from a bag of 50's I did last night

Nice ones AJ.
That's the first error I think I've seen on the 98. Twin die cracks, lovely.
That's also the most cudding I've seen around the 50 centre on the 05 too, I've only seen a few smaller ones.
I have a few of the 98 now and not as many on the 05 but have a few with big cuds
Is this very small error known?
1981 1 cent with a small cud on the queen cheek. I had forgotten about these but years ago I purchased a roll of 1981 1cent coins (not sure why) and about half had this error but I doubt it will show on many circulated coins

bit hard to get now days as we haven't had 1 & 2 cents for quite a few years but very nice NZC :good:
Gee I had a really good score last night looking at some 20 cent but felt sorry as I have had to do the same when thing get tough and dump a few coins so I got a $10 bag that had a heap of near unc fed's and a few other bits and pieces, pic's to come later sorry :)
Sounding good AJ!
Pedro
Ok too many to try and get a decent pic of so just took a couple of scans sorry but gives you an idea, and remember scans pic up every imperfection so these look a bit better in hand :)
(http://i58.tinypic.com/2v0zer5.jpg)
(http://i59.tinypic.com/inah3n.jpg)
That's a nice haul AJ. Well done!
Thanks Nancy, just a shame someone had to dump them after saving some for so long but yes my gain :good:
Great timing AJ! :good: So glad that you got to them before they started swirling around in the pond again. Gee, there's some nice ones there.
You weren't wrong AJ - a tribe of keepers in that lot!
Pedro
That's a good lot AJ. My finds for the last few weeks haven't had a single coin worth specifically mentioning.
I haven't noodled the coins from my purse for about 2 months, so I'm hoping I find something. :angel:
Thanks team :hi:
Gee Nancy you must be super strong carting all that around, remind me never to arm wrestle you :fie: :laugh2:
Should go through my large jar of coins as I dont usually spend them and just
chuck them in the jar when I come home from the shop and there's probably
2 - 3 years worth of coins and you never know what the mrs has thrown in there
as well
QuoteGee Nancy you must be super strong carting all that around, remind me never to arm wrestle you.
Hah, it took all my strength to open a can of peaches tonight. Whew, what a tussle that was. I actually thought I was going to have to call for some help. :blush2:
You should go through them Stevo as you might be surprised what goodies you have stashed away there ;)
:laugh2: what with your bare hands, you scare me Nancy :( just playin mate :laugh2:
I usually use a can opener, but have been know to use other things and especially when camping :blush2:
Just had a look at the 98 50 cent and didn't have as many as I thought I did and only have 5 of them :(
I've got a mental note to look at mine. I'd have never seen it if you hadn't posted it.
Post #3 shows some 1998 Bass & Flinders errors.
http://www.australian-coins.net/showthread.php?tid=3276
Some of my 1998 images show 1994, can't explain why, I musta been very tired at the time. :dodgy:
Thanks for refreshing my memory on those Nevol, you had it covered the whole time. I'm not sure why but I always only give the 1998 a quick glance thinking to myself that there's not going to be anything there. I'll have to pay better attention to them in future.
Guilty as charged as well - the '98s have only gotten the barest glance from me too so far. :-/

Pedro
Well done Pedro, like the 50 cent and the bit after the R :good:
Nice lamination Pedro.
Good to see that you're on a mission (should you choose to accept it) with the gaps!!
Unfortunately Uni I have accepted the mission but slowly making progress. Just chugging through circulated 20c bits as I come across them generally - actually I must noodle some more of them!
At least one year (1973) where I haven't been able to get the USB optimally set up so far to be absolutely sure. Will need to play around with the angles with the USB to see if I can be satisfied one way or another.
At this point I am missing wave gaps for: 1969, 1983 - 1985 (probably Buckley's chance on any of those years even if I ever find one), 1994, 2001 - 2002, 2007, 2009 - 2011 & 2013. A few years where 20c were only included in mint sets or where only commemorative 20c were issued.
I'm not including 2015 so far as I haven't come across any 2015 20c yet.
Pedro
So Pedro, exactly what years do you have gaps confirmed?
Jeff,
Years where I think I have wave gaps as per the following list. For some items (marked *) I can't tell whether wear has contributed to these gaps or not.
1966 - definite
1967 - pretty sure *
1968 - pretty sure *
1970 - definite
1971 - pretty sure *
1972 - ? (don't appear to have a photo of this one but is in my wave gap list)
1973 - not sure
1974 - pretty sure *
1975 - pretty sure *
1976 - pretty sure *
1977 - pretty sure *
1978 - not sure - need a better photo.
1979 - pretty sure *
1980 - pretty sure *
1981 - definite (particularly 3 & 1/2 claws variety)
1982 - pretty sure *
1996 - definite
1997 - definite
1998 - definite
1999 - definite
2000 - definite
2004 - ? is on my wave gap list but can't find a photo
2005 - pretty definite *
2006 - pretty definite *
2008 - definite
2012 - definite
2014 - definite
I have posted some photos in the Wave gap thread previously but will try and consolidate them all in the next week or so in my 20c wave gap directory in my photo gallery.
Pedro
Thanks Pedro. I have only been looking for 2008 but I will start to keep an eye out. I will go through my better grade years stash to see what I can find and post here if I positively identify any.
Now, was the reason for the gap ever definitely established? I remember discussion about it but can't remember any agreement as to the exact cause.
Should have mentioned as well Jeff that for some years (eg 1981, 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2000) the gaps seem to be reasonably prevalent.
I was intrigued some time ago when there seemed to be all the fuss about 1966 and 2008 wave gaps and yet there were other years with gaps that I had come across so I have this little side project trying to find as many years as I can. May well be interesting discussion about some of the years where coin wear is/may be a factor. I don't have the background to be able to tell but I'm sure somebody on here will be able to set me straight in time.
Sorry can't help with your question regarding how the gaps arose.
Pedro

Someone said the 2008 Wedding Set coins had the gap so some of the circulation coins may have been struck with Wedding Set dies.
Fulvio I recall says he found a 2012 20c with a reasonable gap. I've been looking at all 20c pieces from 2008 and after and am yet to find one from 2009 or later with a gap like the 2008. There are plenty of filled dies but the proper 2008 gap is different.
I'll have to dig my wedding sets out now and suss'em out, I've only found the nice big gap on the 08 so they're the only one's I keep..but I look for other :)
Just had a look and mine don't have a gap :(
I found a 2008 dollar yesterday,
and it is a double tail one .
you beauty .
Well done Kel! :good:
Yes well done Kel :good: I have a few now but not many for the amount of coins I've looked at
That's a good one Kel. Now don't go and put it in a pokie!
These are from my latest noodle. I had maybe 100-120 coins all up, so not too bad I suppose.

Good results Nancy!
Pedro
Nice ones Nevol!
The combo rim cud & die crack is a beaut, as is the lamination.
Thanks Pedro & Uni. It's the first real noodle I've done for a long time, just after shopping, clear my purse of all coins, chuck them all in together and when I feel there's enough to make it worthwhile, I noodle them. Takes a while though as my shopping trips are few and far between these days.
My fav of the ones above is also the Rim Cud Die Ck combo, I already had one of those but the Rim Cud on it is a bit smaller and I have a third with just a small Rim Cud.
Have posted quite a few of the wave gap photos in my 20c wave gap gallery directory.
Still a few to go and have found a couple of other years noodling today.
Pedro
2004 20c with short claws
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/2004_20c_short_claws_resized.jpg)
Has anyone noticed a slight rotation/upset on the 2011 William and Kate 20c (would guess at about 10 degrees)?
Pedro
Cool Pedro.
I just checked my Will & Kate's (27) and none appeared upset. I have a few other years with a small upset similar to the one you're describing.
Thanks Uni. Will keep an eye out for others.
Pedro
I must find time to measure the others that I have to see what they end up being. (It's not huge, but it's there so 10 deg may be close).
The years were 2001 .... (nothing like Mark's!!!) .... 1966, 1981 and 2004 small head.
Quote from: 'Unicorn' pid='78130' dateline='1440327267'The years were 2001 .... (nothing like Mark's!!!) .... 1966, 1981 and 2004 small head.
I also have piccies somewhere for 2000, 2006 & 2013. Not huge, only 10-12° or so, never posted them as I'm not 100% sure that they are really upset.
Will try to post them later on, might make a separate thread for them.
Managed to come up with a second 2001 CoA 50c with the cud joining the kangaroo and the shield. This one also had the die crack extending from the emu's tail.

Another 2014 50c bubble to add to the collection. This one is next to the top left hand corner of the shield. This coin also has the bubble between the emu's legs.

Excellent Pedro! Another one for the list!!!
Gee 2014 50's have been an interesting year so far.
Below are a few variations of the emu neck cuds that I was putting together earlier in the week before my travels. (All are 2014).

Bother - hadn't noticed anything there Uni. Will have to backtrack (again!) :dash1:
Great photos too!
Pedro
Thanks Pedro, yes it was a "bother" from me too when I found them as a number of 2014s have been put back to the pond before I spotted these ones. I had put aside a 2007 and 2011 with similar placed cuds to take photos of, but haven't done them yet. From memory I went back through this thread to see if the 2014's were mentioned and couldn't see anything, but I think AJ had mentioned a 2013 in one post.
Another thing to look for on them.
Bugger! I just cashed in a $10 bag of them today after I did a cull.
Had a quick run through approx. 15 x 2014 50c that I had from last week's noodle and came up with 2 that had Uni's emu neck cud. Funny thing was that these two 50c were already in my pile of keepers for other cuds. :-/
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/2014_50c_cud_on_emu_s_neck_resized.jpg)

The 50c above also had this cracking and long cud on the top left hand side of the shield.

Pedro
Gee we've created an error searching monster :) Well done Pedro :good: I hope you've got the one up behind the emu's head as it comes in a few different sorts ;)
How many times do I have to go back to the well AJ :dash1:
Can't see anything on my list about the emu's head. You're going to have to come up with piccies!
Did manage to come across a second small bubble between the emu and the reeds on the re-check for Uni's emu neck cuds.
Pedro
:laugh2: .... I think that well might be more like a bottomless pit Pedro!!!
(You might have to dig out that pith helmet again :mocking: ).
I think we should start a class action against the RAM for cruelty to noodlers! :laugh2:
All these errors to look out for is doing my head in!
Pedro
Ok ok just 'cause you asked so nicely, and I think your sexy :blush2: :laugh2: So here ya's go, and if you look real close you'll see they're all different coins and even tossed some back as I'm hoarding just way too many coins :winkextra:

Excellent work again AJ!
Meanwhile, for the forty third time he checks his 2014 50c ....

Yes, AJ I do have them but my list let me down with the cuds on the top of the head - more work required on the recording process!

While doing the "laying on the right side" routine a few other names came to mind for it.
TenOsaurus .... and

Yes, ok, laying down is boring as the proverbial.
2004 20c with unusual pitting - has someone been playing with their chemistry set or is this natural flawing? In parts the reverse design looks quite weak.

Excellent pic Pedro! Good to see you keeping us up to date with the latest! Moses the snail.
let the games begin Pedro :)
Doing OK so far:
- a rotated 2010 50c
- another of the 2014 50c with the bubbles between the emu legs and also on the top left hand corner of the shield.
Pedro
Keep 'em coming Pedro! Well done. :good:
yeah too right and well done on the rotated, haven't found one for ages
Only the second rotated I've found and nearly two years since the first one.
Pedro
Came up with 6 x 2015 50c in the noodle today. Of those, 3 had snails on them so looks like they may be around in numbers.
Another common feature on the snail coins was heavy doubling on the bottom of the shield. Will post a photo tomorrow.

Wow, they both still have their umbilicus cord after all these years. :biggrin: Great stuff Pedro! :yahoo:
Thank you Nancy. After finding a couple of connected kangaroos I was hoping that one of these would exist (although I haven't seen any yet with just the emu joined).
Pedro
They're great Pedro! The "umbilical feathers" is a top coin.
I don't "Noodle" by going to the bank and asking for coins.
I simply save ALL my change and put it into jars.
I never use change to make a purchase I simply use another note.
Every Christmas I will noodle through all the jars and bag up everything that isn't interesting and take it to the bank.
Not only a lot of fun but I normally have $2-3000 in spare cash saved up by doing this, A very handy boost for the festive season :good:
My noodling is very similar to trouts, except I noodle my coins approx every 2 months or so.
I also never use change to make a purchase & simply use another note.

Yep, Uni's on the money (so to speak) with the "advised" 2014 MOR mintage and the 2014 ANZAC at about 23m. Should only be a couple of weeks now before the RAM annual report comes out with the numbers.
Pedro
I think I might have found the long lost twin to your 2000 $1 yesterday Kel.

good news unicorn , I million only , 2014 MOR,S
sounds like a good one to keep .
I must be blind kel but what's wrong with the 2014 Roo $1?
Quote from: 'Goldseeker' pid='80803' dateline='1445126383'I must be blind kel but what's wrong with the 2014 Roo $1?
nothing wrong with it Bruce , just low mintage compared with the 2014 Anzac dollar , I think so anyway , but I may be wrong ,....
.
First cud I've found on a 2015 $1 MOR. Also a little doubling action occurring.

Nice one Pedro!
Looks like the making of a spew roo.
I went to local carwash today and exchanged a $20 note for change.
Received a 2004 Eureka B in near unc condition,that was nice
Quote from: 'Unicorn' pid='81441' dateline='1446979625'Looks like the making of a spew roo.
Quite possibly but a bit sprayed around!!! :laugh2:
At the spot where the doubling stops there is also what looks like a pre-cud line heading downwards at about 120 degrees so a larger cud down could be a happening thing as well.
Great find Runway! :good:
Pedro
went to Caboolture shops today .
1 x $ 2.00 2014 green
1 x $ 2.00 2015
1 x $ 1.00 2015 .
what a great day I had .
Always good to pick up one of those coloured $2s and the other two should be in good nick too!
Gives you an excuse to go back again today, you might find some more!
Pedro
I just found this 2010 $1. I already have a 2010 spew roo with rabbit ears. What should I call this?
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/2010_spew.jpg)
Perhaps ..... "Food poisoning in the top paddock"?
:laugh2:
Very impressive little find with the two spews Jeff.
Pedro
:i_agree: Pedro
I'm sure it's a newie to me.
Just done a lot of 20¢ in $10 bags. These were all in the same bag! Now I have taken their passport photo they are all packed up ready for their trip......back to the bank.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/Rejects.jpg)
What is that coin in the middle??
It doesn't look like a 2 bob bit to me.
That's a 2001 Coming Home 20c. :angel:
Or do you mean the 2001 Centenary of Federation; Victoria?
Coming home is second in the second row.
I am looking at the middle coin in the middle row.
These coins look like they have been salvaged by a plumber and the Gods only know what substances these coins have been immersed in , I hope you scrubbed your hands after looking at these Jeff :angel: :laugh2:
Yes, that is Flinders Street Station on that coin (2001 Victoria).
I hate to think what they may have been exposed to. My hands are well washed.
Sorry, my bad. Please forgive me.:beg:
:angel: You are forgiven. :angel:
This morning I went through some $1 coins that I obtained from the bank yesterday. One $100 bundle (five ziplock bags) only had two Mob of roos coins! :shock:
Thirteen of the commemoratives I would put as UNC and some others nearly as good and worth keeping.
I am finding a lot of very good dollar commemoratives lately -someone must be returning their stash to the pond.

A lot of these would be coming from "Piggybanks" many people cash in their coins at Xmas :ok:
I myself also chuck all my change in a jar until this time of Year and cashed them in yesterday ( after noodling them of course).
I didn't find much except for 3x poppy $2 coins But there was $1,876.65 in the 4x Large Maccona coffee jars that I had filled up over the year, that is despite me dipping into them on occasion to pay the Grandkids for doing chores .
I have been doing this for the last few years and the extra quids come in pretty handy this time of year :good:
Yes it is moneybox season but a lot of these coins are 10+ years old; shiny, no noticeable wear and no dings. I don't think they have just been "chucked" in a jar.
I have been finding quite a few similar during the last few months. I tend to subscribe to the "hard times" theory or maybe people have just decided they are not really worth keeping after all.
Sounds nice Jeff, what years were they (mainly)?
Been slim pickings on the error front of late (could be that noodling has had to take a back seat to other things :dash1:).
Here's a couple:
2009 50c with some extensive doubling around the back of the emu's head

I think I have some that are similar, but I think no where near as pronounced as yours, will have a dig about tonight to see what years mine are.

I have a few 2009 50c with significant doubling on the reverse but this is the first one I have noticed which such large doubling around the emu.
:laugh2: RG!
Pedro
I got a 1995 UN 20c - haven't got one in years.
I found one last week. They are quite scarce lately.
I purchased a lot of coins from the bank yesterday and went through $200 of 50¢ this morning. They were in $10 ziplock bags in bundles of five.
Three bundles had 100% coat of arms coins. Nearly all pre-1985 and XF to aUNC condition......except;
•covered in greasy film (nothing that a touch of acetone won't fix)
•random spots of corrosion. Bugger!
Consolation prize was a 1966 round 50¢ and a couple of very nice Centenary of Federation in the other bags.
I think I might have scored a money box cash-in there.
Still have a lot of dollars and some 20¢ to look at yet.
Ok here are some of the 2015 errors I've found and sorry for the usual crappy pic's, nothing really big but a few that are a little different to the usual. Found a few of the same sort and a lot of multiple errors on the same coin, cuds, strike through, oil fill, melts, tiny die crack etc

Pics look alright to me!
No bubbles yet for 2015?
Pedro
Thanks Pedro, nah no bubble YET mate but they've only just started coming through :winkextra:
Hey, ya slipped some more in while I wasn't watching!!
Have a few of the second lot (including the snail). The ice/spiderwebs look good. There was a bit of that going around on the 2014s too.
Pedro
Great pics AJ!
2015 looks like it might end up beating 2014!!!
Sorry Pedro :) Now I've numbered them so it's a bit easier sorry so what one is the ice/spiderweb.
Thanks Uni and I think so mate the way it's going but just need to find a bubble :laugh2:
Number 10 I think is the start of the snail :winkextra:
Numbers 21 & 23 AJ

Oh right, yeah it's a funny part frosted effect like doubling.

No shortened claws but I did notice on a couple that the potential could be there for a wave gap.

Thanks Uni. I reckon Markn and trout's piccies are the tops, and a few others that escape me at present. Their set up would cost a pretty picture and I doubt I'd be able to use them. The KB is great for me being able to view the piccie on screen before I take it.

Also a large number of pre-1985 in good looking condition. These are rather grubby so they are having a soak at present -pics later if they turn out to be keepers.
I have come across this frequently lately; someone has to be cashing kept coins back in.
Yes, it does look like someone has raided the piggy bank. I would imagine you would be noodling as much as possible to try and land some more of these goodies since they seem to be floating around your neck of the woods at present!
Pedro
Love ya work Jeff!!!
Dirty and crappy 1966 50c pieces I get, get a five second dip in "Tarn Off" with a 10-15 minute rinse in warm water and cloth dried.
All the ones I have done have retained there nice as new appearance.
I know I am going to get some bad comments but it works for me. After all, all I have are circulated coins and not for resale. I am just hoarding my 1,003 coins till either a) I need money or b) The price of silver skyrockets again.
A few $1 coins noodled in the last week.
•2001 volunteers; reverse rim cud.
•2010 spew roo with rabbit ear.
•2005 dancing man; small obverse rim cud. First obverse rim cud I have found.
•2007 mob of roos. Ex mint set?
•2015 MoR with minimal mint handling damage.
•A couple of NCLT that have had a hard life.

Not a bad little haul there Jeff :good:
:i_agree: The 2007 is certainly a surprise!
QuoteThe 2007 is certainly a surprise!
Yes, the first mint set only year, normal reverse $1 I have found. I have found some 20¢ and 50¢ previously.
I mentioned finding some 1966 50¢ in my noodling and, also, some other nice ones.
The first '66 round was in a $200 bag and next morning I went back and was able to get another $200 bag the bank had just packed to return.
A lot of the possible 'keepers' in these bags had tiny specks of what I at first thought was some sort of corrosion. However a soak in acetone removed most of that. Now I am thinking it may have been some sort of overspray (of what I would not know). Some still have a slight stain where the specks were -I think a soak in xylene might be worth a try (nothing to lose).
Anyway, enough story; you want to see pictures.
Some Centenary of Federations. Mostly fairly average condition.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/1215e.jpg)
A number of Coat of arms reverse.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/1215f.jpg)

Is that an incused I see?
Pedro
QuoteIs that an incused I see?
No, not incused. And, despite a large number of 1979 and 1980 not one double bar either -I was sort of hoping for a nice one of those.
Wow Jeff, I know you said there were some beauts but that is exceptional!!!! I'm lost for words (almost). Those COA are brilliant!!!
Yes,
I feel a few sets coming on.
Of course, whoever cashed those in might just have been doing a sort and getting rid of some discards,
If so, I want to see what (s)he kept! :drooling:

For the dies to be falling apart like this the 2015 MOR may be a rather large mintage ?

Quote from: 'trout' pid='83344' dateline='1451687686'For the dies to be falling apart like this the 2015 MOR may be a rather large mintage ?
I picked up about 20 of the 2015 $1 MORs spread throughout the rolls I noodled. Small sample I know but didn't do anything like these numbers for the 2014 MORs so it would suggest that the 2015s may well have a somewhat larger mintage. Still leaves the question mark over the 2015 ANZAC $1 too. Guess we'll have to be patient for a while longer.
Pedro
I found a 1991 50c piece today - the only interesting find - but sent it back as it was kind of grubby.
Must have been greater than 14 microns ...... :laugh2:
FOund a 2011 10 cent coin. First one I found was on my mother's floor.
I had 2 nice finds today.
First was a 2010 rotated 50 cent!
Second was a fairly rough 1972 5 cent!
Some beaut finds there folks!
Pedro
I found a Queensland and a Victoria Centenary of Federation 20c. Not sure who it was that talked about regional distribution of these (Jeff?) but it seems like the Victoria ones are most common for me.
1991 $1 just found. Rather battered.

A few quirks from the latest noodle:
2012 50c two dots - haven't seen the dots this large on previous finds. The left hand dot is usually closer to the corner in others that I have come across.

Pedro
Cool finds Pedro.
I'd not seen the 2012 dots there before (top pic as the other couple of smaller cuds show up well too).
The rim lamination looks like it has a rim cud and rim lamination in one. Love it when you can see into the lamination that well.
Nice one with the 1987, from memory I've only ever found 2 NCLT 50c despite 50s being my favourite.
Was pleased with the 1987 50c - it's the first MSO I have found in the wild!
Pedro
A search through $600 of 50¢ yielded these (plus some of the usual suspects as keepers). There was another 1993 but it was covered with etched in black stains -obviously had been in contact with something corrosive- so, back to the pond for that one.

Jackpot Jeff! :yahoo:
Pedro
Was having a bit of a gander at recent Ebay error sales and came across a 2015 $1 MOR where the 3rd kangaroo was missing a leg (sold for $100).
Not sure they are going to be rare but found one in my stockpile of 2015 MORs.

Pedro
Cool Pedro!
It seems that the one seller has sold 2 ($125 & $100) and has bumped them up to $150 (no sales at that price).
For what it's worth, I only have 4 x 2015 $1 MOR and one of them has the variety, so I've chucked it up on ebay with a $6 start (includes $2 postage).

Looks like this may be a common error. I just checked twenty 2015 $1 coins and found four missing leg and a few with very faint leg.
Not an error, Simply a weak strike IMHO :ok:
I tend to agree with the weak strike theory Trout.
Looks like somebody had a bad day with the pressure then :D
(Good luck Uni - hopefully you get in before the "flood")
Pedro
:laugh2: ... Pedro, (Here's Freddie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a01QQZyl-_I)).
I thought I'd throw mine in the ring to try and see the price move to a more realistic level.
I wonder if they play that on the RAM factory floor :laugh2:
Pedro
:laugh2: .... I bet they do ..... and this one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoBFZWEkZjQ)!
I just checked 20 of mine and they have about 6 different versions of a weak strike on them ,.
just like Jim said , weak strike , I will agree with that .
Just checked my 2015 MOR coins, all 4 of them and 1 has the partially missing leg on the 3rd Roo.
IMO it's most likely caused by Die Fill as there's no sign of mushiness on the rest of the strike.

You singlehandedly moved the market Uni!! :laugh2:
Pedro
:laugh2: .... Hopefully that will make a few people think twice before they part with $100+ for one. (Will have to find some more now to keep it there).
I have plenty of them. And, with all due respect, I would not pay $6 for one.
I wonder what the buyer may have been prepared to go to? Surely nowhere near $100.
I understand your thoughts Jeff, but considering that includes fees and $2 postage cost (not to mention I have a 40 minute drive to the post office and the time taking pics and listing), I think that the time / cost looking for one would easily come to $6 pretty quickly.
I start all my listings at $6 minimum since postage went up, regardless of what it is.
I didn't say it wasn't worth $6 -that is fair start price with free postage and fees.
QuoteI have plenty of them.
'Tis all good Jeff. I just didn't want my buyer thinking they'd paid too much.
Received these in change at different times and different shops. First was last year a nice study piece a 1997 50 cent piece.

Hey Pedro, with the between the ears one below does your coin also have a pair of chin and flavour saver cuds and also a very very small dot cud in the gap behind and half way down the emu's neck?
(I've posted a copy of your pic as the attachment seems to have gone missing).
Quote from: 'Pedro' pid='57276' dateline='1408254119'Sounds good Uni :)
More 2013 50c flaws - multitude of various cuds on these coins.
Just to be fair here's one in the reeds near the emu:
Cud/crack near kangaroo's paw
Cuds on vertical star point
Cud on kangaroo's ear
Pedro
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/11067/pedro1.jpg)
Uni, I'll have to take your question on notice as I have no idea where the coin is at present! :scratch_one-s_head:
There is nothing in my noodling spreadsheet for that coin indicating a dot there but if it is small I may well have missed it!
Will search it out.
Pedro
Struck it lucky Uni finding that particular noodle bag!
Yep, there is a dot per picture below.

Pedro
Excellent Pedro, thanks for checking that for me.
I was sorting my 2013s today and had yet to find anything with what I thought might be the cud between the ears etc, then on the final two coins found it on both of them (along with the facial cuds and tiny emu dot).

Thank you. :) Pretty chuffed with that lookalike 50 cent piece.
In $48 of 20c pieces I found five 1966 and one 1967 that were around EF.
That's good. Those early year ones are usually really showing their age now. And not a big sample to get them. Some more stash cashing in?

Strange!
Did my first noodling for some time tonight and I found 2 coloured $2 coins - I think that was pretty lucky!
The strange part was in 1 roll of $1 coins, there were 4 (yes 4!) 2003 'S' mint mark Korean War NCLT coins all in perfect condition.
Finding NCLT every now and then happens, but 4 in the one roll of exactly the same coin (including mintmark) seems very strange.
That may be strange but rather a good find.
Nice work Oz! :ok:
Pedro
Great work Oz!!
I wonder what the odds of finding a roll like that would be!!!! (Might be time for a lottery ticket).
Quote from: 'Unicorn' pid='84952' dateline='1456523823'Great work Oz!!
I wonder what the odds of finding a roll like that would be!!!! (Might be time for a lottery ticket).
After I found the first one I was pretty surprised.
When there were three more, I was puzzled.
I think the odds would have to be incredibly small.
I also think they must have all come from the same place, but even then:
Who would have 4 (or more) of just these to put into circulation, and would there only have been 4 going through the hopper of the rolling machine for all 4 to end up together in one roll- or were there even more going into other rolls?
Very strange. ...
Time for the Twilight Zone theme music:
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/2003__1_Korean_War_resized.jpg)
Found two of these guys in a roll of $1s I noodled today. Surprised when I found the first one but even more so when a second turned up a few coins later. Not as good as Oz but still on the spooky side.
Pedro
Spooky Pedro!
When Oz reported his I pondered that possibility that the RAM may have had a non-packed unsold left over box of these and simply dished them out to the security companies in the latest delivery, thus giving rise to the possibility.
Now that you've entered the Twilight Zone, perhaps that is a possible explanation, but still really really odd. (It would mean the RAM had a cleanup of 13 year old coins).
Drum roll for OMC ......... How Bizarre!
Never let it be said that the RAM doesn't keep up with the latest technology. It is now issuing the Queen and Roos with WiFi:

Lovely work Pedro!
You've really got me itching to do a noodle or two.
The 2015 $1 MORs seem to have a range of errors coming out Uni so quite a bit to look out for!
Pedro
Yes, it certainly looks to be a good year. I think 2015 is the first year I've ever seen a cud on the 4th roo in that spot. That and the Lizzie nose Wifi.
picked up six 2015 "100 years of ANZAC" $1 yesterday. First ones for that year I have seen.
If they are turning up here then the must be fairly widespread now.
I've only come across one 2015 ANZAC $1 so far but plenty of 2015 MORs.
Pedro
Well done Jeff ..... even more fuel to feed my noodling desires!

Only found one of each of the 2009 and 2010 poo roos so far but it has taken longer to find the 2010!
Yes, Uni, two types of emu/shield joins now. They look to be pretty much in the same spot but the other one was more of a straight line link.
Pedro
Think I may have to revisit my decimals again, been focused on the predecimals, some great pics there. Always helpful to see what to look for.
From the images I have, it appears that I have had up to 6 x 2009 Poo Roos, and just 1 x 2010. But as I'm not really doing any real noodling these days, I can't expect to find much. :whistle2:
A couple of the 2009 images are named 'swap' so it's possible that I might have swapped one or two somewhere along the line. :angel:

The best 2008 gap I have found. Scan doesn't do it justice -high lustre.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/2008_gap.jpg)
First 1993 20¢ I recall finding. None in my circulated 20¢ album which supports that theory.
The RAM says "No twenty cent coins were produced in 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992 or 1993" Maccas and Renniks both quote mintage figure of 1.49M -apparently salvaged from unsold mint sets and issued into circulation later.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/1993_20C2F.jpg)
And put this one on your list of ones to look for.
2015 big spew/knapsack? $1. Another that a scan doesn't do justice to.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/2015spew.jpg)
Nice finds Jeff! Incidentally, I think more recent editions of McDonalds note that the 1993 is a mint set only year.
22nd edition still lists them as "CIRC" with the note that none were minted for circulation (only mint sets) but 1,495,500 issued later. Same note also refers to "pre-1987 dates so that appears to contradict that number being 1993 dated coins.
A clarification would be nice, if anyone knows. I am undecided if I should put that coin on a circulation issue page or mint set only year (but found circulating) page in my album. OK, they were minted for mint sets only but, if actually issued from Mint to circulation I would consider that a genuine circulation coin. [Splitting hairs I know.]
Hm, the 21st edition says "Mint set only" but mentions the 1.5 or so million pre-1987 coins as well.
Gee Jeff, three very nice finds! (Love the 2015 spew roo especially). :good:
Some top finds there Jeff. The 2015 spew roo looks like he has lost his whole lunch!
I have never come across a 1993 20c in the wild and worked on the basis that they were MSO.
Pedro
Mick's engraving/etching is very professional. Doesn't look like a mechanical process -lettering is extremely shallow and has a "burnt" appearance. Perhaps some sort of spark method?
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/Mick.jpg)
That 2015 Spew Roo would look nice in my collection if one wants to part with it.
Goldie, You are top of the list if I ever find another.
My rule is first one goes in my collection and, if any more found, the best one is retained and any duplicates go to a good home.
A few newies. A couple I haven't seen before.

Cool Pedro, I think that's the first Tiara one I've seen.
Do you think the 2007 APEC might be a rim lamination, rather than cuds?
It looks like overspray which I thought was more cud-like Uni (but I could of course be wrong). I'll see if I can get some more angled photos of it later in the day.

I was think along the lines of something like this.

nice finds Pedro you must have quite a collection , how are you storing them?
[attachment=3423]5 cent with extreme doubling/blobbing , found 4 of these all come with the little cud on queens nose
:ok: Great error 5c AS.
At the moment mine are stored a little haphazardly - it's more fun to look for more than pack them away in an orderly fashion :biggrin:
The better quality finds or rarer errors I put into Saflips and the lesser quality ones are stored by find date in snaplock bags. One of these days I will get around to tucking the coins in Saflips into sleeves and index them better.
Pedro
:laugh2: great minds must think alike , i keep my favorites in 2x2 and the rest in zip lock bags as well
Those 2008 5c with the extra metal under some of the letters should be relatively easy to find. Back when I was noodling I found 9 of them. Caused by a worn die I'd say.
I just did a very quick check and 7 look like they have the nose cud. I might see if I can do a collage and put them in some sort of order to show the deterioration of the die (no promises though).
They were first reported by Brissyboy on the old ACBO forum.
a collage would be cool to see Nevol , i noodled $100 worth which took forever lol . Would be good to see who has the most deteriorated version i bet the die would have exploded not long after our coins were made

The 2013 also had Queen's neck cuds in the IRB area (although smaller) ... see 10 & 11 in the following thread.

I know what you mean Uni. My son passed over his change hoard for me to look through - it had quite a number of the little blighters in it and they were going in all directions. The eyes weren't all that happy afterwards either!
Now I need to go back and see if there are any of AS's 2008 errors in there :dash1:
Pedro
know what you mean Pedro :shock: kind of what my eyes were like after noodling the fives , i like the die cracks Unicorn , i purchased a couple of rolls of 2014 mor's when they first came out and had to open them found a few similar to yours will try to get some pics
[attachment=3424][attachment=3425]gee these die cracks are tricky to image bit smaller than yours Uni , the blurry line at front of bust is it lol also bit of doubling on back of neck.Have a couple where the third and fourth roo have a tiny crack on their mouths but no luck imaging them .The best error i found on the 2014's is a strike through which i quite like. Anyone else got some 2014 mor errors can't find any threads or pics of them

Pedro
OK, I've done the images of the 2008 5 cents.
Because I have 9, I've done them in 3 sets of 3. The coin # is irrelevant really, just helped me to keep track of what I was doing.
I found the last three pretty hard to decide on the final order, so you may have a different opinion than me and if you do please share your thoughts.
The P in top right corner stands for position.
All of them except C2 have an inner circle, so I don't know the reason for that, maybe a different die?

Greta effort Nevol. i think your spot on with the order , C7 has the smallest hint of a cud. Of interest C9 doubling on I but not on others , C5 narrow lettering A & T stand out the most also it has the most doubling on the lips not on others . As you say different dies ? .The double rims are the mystery part, i was thinking they have something to do with bulging letters , all that pressure but i have a couple of double rims with no doubling on letters which blows that theory.Almost forgot have these coins got double rim on reverse?

Nice spew roo Kel!
Great work Nevol for the 5c timeline above too.
All the best Kel and Dawn...and a nice little find for your anniversary.

Congrats Kel & Dawn. I hope you had a lovely night out.
Great 'spew' roo too!

From $48 of 20c pieces I found a 2004 large head (second in two weeks) and three Centenary of Federation coins (2x Victoria, 1x New South Wales).
Not a bad find from a small amount Mr T, well done :good:

Super Cool Pedro ...... Looks like Groucho Marx having a cigar!!
Can't say I've seen one of those!
He's eating a leaf, nice find Pedro :)
You mean I have found Skippy after all of these years AJ? :biggrin:
Pedro
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_agtNKbgSfI :)
With all the alternatives, what do you think we should name him Pedro?
Mr Creosote, Ralph, Groucho, Skip or perhaps Justin? (Leaf it to Bieber :blush: )
So many choices :scratch_one-s_head:
Afraid I had to Google Mr Creosote as it wasn't ringing any bells - think the volume there outdoes our roo's effort.
Can't in all fairness saddle him with "Justin" (but it was clever Uni).
After all that I think I'm leaning towards Ralph.
Pedro
It could be just that wafer thin after dinner mint he's eating. :winkextra:

Gee Pedro, nice ones on the 50's. I can't recall either, but I might have to hang five while I check back :laugh2:.
You're doing well Pedro.:yahoo:
Lots of errors can be found on the B&F 1998 50c, as can be seen in Post #3 in this thread. Most are probably due to a worn die.

Most of the error piccies I've posted are in the Public Forum, but I got to 2001 and all my get up and go got up and went. :grin:
Got home from foo/land and couldn't believe my eyes this was in my change rushed back to see if they had any more but alas no , second piece of silver i have found and much better than my first a shilling i noodled from a bag of 10cents a while back [attachment=3441][attachment=3442][attachment=3443]:yahoo:
Good finds. Not often silver turns up in noodling now.
NZ 20¢ seem to be rather common and I have been finding a number of NZ $1 coins in AUS$1 bags -not really easy to confuse to two but I think bank tellers just want to offload them ASAP.
The NZ 20c coin is no longer Legal Tender in NZ nor with the NZ banks accept them even in $1, $2 etc lots.
However, being the same size and weight as the Aussie 20c, then people dispose of them in Aussie banks etc.
When I'm was noodling coins, I used to find many NZ 20c coins and I just left them in the bag.
Yep found quite a few NZ coins as well , only one early silver the rest just go back in the pond
[attachment=3448]This 20cent has a bit going on i like the filled 2
Doin well with your noodling AS :good:
Been having a bit of of lucky run lately AJ . Don't know if living in a small country town helps or not , well i think it did with the silver 50 cent but our one and only bank shut down last month so now i have to travel 80km round trip to pick up bags :(
That's a noodler's worst nightmare AS! Looks like you'll just have to get bigger bags when you make the trip.

Gee that's a bit rough and good customer service from the banks :(

not quite in my change but I spotted this in the change at a casher inn a shop today, I asked the woman (in her 50's) if she knew what it was and she said no. I offered her $1 for it to replace it and low and behold she was more than happy to get rid of it as she isn't meant to accept foreign coins

:shok::shock::kez_15:
I know right!
what is the saddest thing is how people know days don't even know what a sovereign is!
I'll offer you $2.00 for it. That's double what you paid for it. But wait, there's more. I'll even pay for postage , packaging and handling. Can't beat that now can you?

Send me your bank details and i'll EFT the monies and sufficient monies for registered post.
Deal done.
Gee i don't know seems a bit of a moral issue here , fair enough if you got home and it was in your change but to offer some one who knows no better a dollar for it WOW :dontknow:

lol I was wondering how long it would be for someone to say something like this.
if I hadn't spotted it then it would have ended up in the system and then the bank who would have just either thrown it in the bin (yes they do that with international coins, try asking your bank for them, they will give you them for free) or alternative sent it of to RAM to melt down with other "mute" coins.
no moral issue here, if it was a mule, rotated 2001 $1 or mis-strike I (and I bet most others) would have done the same thing
So what your saying Serial is that you have slipped a $50 in an envelope and are giving it to the 50 ish women as a thank you , good on you very decent now two people are happy . Spread the joy i say :good:
WOW +++++
Ethically and morally challenging position to be in?
I would have done that same presented with a similar opportunity.

I would probably have let her keep the pilot's cap though.
I don't think too many people would be knocking back an opportunity like this .Let's be honest.After all
the woman picked it out of the till and handed it to Serial
Nice pickup indeed , serial . Got given a couple of round 50 cent pieces at different times, nothing close to your score though.

so go back to the store, find a person I have only meet once and couldn't pick from a bar of soap and randomly give her $50, no that wont raise eyebrows at all
how about the alternative, sell it, then buy my mom an extra big box of chocolates this mothers day and take her out for a nice dinner with the whole family
pity its wasn't an overdate gnome , would be worth more than a sovereign even in that condition
I think it would have been far better if you just to kept this to yourself Serial, You must have expected some negative comments from members here :angel:
Personally I'm glad Serial found it and posted about it, gives us all hope.
(Still in awe).
I can't help thinking that whoever owned that sov previously would not have spent it in error.
It is more likely that some kid has knocked it off to buy lollies with :ok:
Yes something like that I'd imagine Trout. I thought perhaps someone going through someone who had passed away's things and just didn't know any better than to treat it as a dollar and simply spent it.
A lot of people don't have an interest or a memory of past things, even yesterday I think it was, one of the questions on "The Chase" was what main colour was the $2 note ....... the contestant eventually answered purple.
I see that people can take this story how they want, personally I see it as motivation to continue searching my change and looking into tills whenever I am at the shops despite the weird looks I get from people and elbows in the gut from the wife to stop being so weird. fact is, the sovereign is my reward for having the knowledge to recognise what it is from 1 metre away in a bunch of junk world coins, I (like others here) go through thousands of coins weekly (until I had bub :) ) looking for that 1 in a 1000 coin. This means I have a unique skill set and can spot key dates/variants from a distance in piles of coins. I worked hard for this skill and finding what I do when I do is proof that it is worth it.
Coin collectors as a whole are type casted and generally locked down upon by sporting/social types. as far as I am concerned I will not spend my time or knowledge helping those who have no interest in numismatics until they can make a quick buck. I genuinely enjoy collecting and can be obsessive in my hobby to the point that I spend hours reading/searching or just talking about coins and when I see the chance to take a coin out of circulation worth more than the traded face value I do so any day
Anyone who says otherwise needs to get of their high horse before they fall and hurt themselves or stop hating on the fact they didn't find it.
Some people earn top dollars and pay top dollars to get a coin with minimal effort
Some people hunt for coins, in banks, coins shows, garage sales, coins shops, ebay etc to get the best coin they can for the best price
Both are collectors, they just go about it differently
I wish people would accept this as I have ceased posting many of my recent finds because of the hate poured on by some at how little I have paid for them. they conveniently forget that I have boxes and boxes of junk coins that I paid for in the hope of finding an elusive coin I can be proud of and show off. Or that I have spent countless hours learning what I know and sorting millions of coins.
Anyone can just go to an auction and buy a collection, mine was earned
well the sovvie is impressive . just check that it is not a jewellery copy if you go to sell (still gold but not mint struck)
but mate I am still awestruck with the gold 50c
I have held a similar one in my hand
and boy oh boy
they are just awesome - I ogle the gold ones that are on display at the mint year after year after year .....
you certainly pull out the goods of the scarcer/rarer coins that is for sure, like you say, you have developed an eye for them
whereas I am a bit 'type' cast and like my pennies, but I have many albums and boxes on non-penny coins, so I think the hobby can get you in many ways!
Not Show stoppers But still nice to find amongst a bulk lot of bullion grade florins :)

Pedro
We all collect and source the coins in our collections differently But the one thing we do all have in common is we all look for value for money when purchasing a new acquisition.
I personally have bought coins at auction or from eBay at a fraction of their value at times and I certainly don't feel any "Guilt" doing this.
Just because Serial scored a sovereign at a bargain basement price doesn't give anyone the right to judge his morality, as far as I am concerned he saw an opportunity and seized the moment. :ok:
I say 'good on him' for being so observant seeing it in the till in the first place. :ok:
I doubt that I'd have the courage to ask the storekeeper if I could have it though, seeing as I'm a bit shy and retiring. :blush2:
Well done serial! :good:
You really shouldn't be shy Nevol, I take ever chance I get to talk about coins, most bank staff are glad to hear about the merchandise they handle daily. Many don't know what to look for, but are glad to look out the back for you if you talk with them. I got some of my best finds this way
Nice ones Trout, that 1951 looks good.
Pedro, you have excelled yourself once again. Some good new errors coming out of the woodwork lately.
Not sure whether we've covered the below.
2014 Anzac with multiple cuds down the upper to lower lip. A flavour saver and a under the chin cud ending in a nice swirled die crack coming from under HM's chin.

Excellent Pedro! :thank_you:
A variant of an oldie and one I haven't seen before.

Ok here's a few of my more recent finds, a few cuds on the one coin, look at the roo and the long jumper's head.

now here's two pic's just different angles, think it might be a coldshut but a decent size for a change :)
one between the swimmer and long jumper

and one from the long jumpers arm to his feet

and lucky last, don't want to give all my secrets away for Uni :mocking:
a nice little 2004 die crack

Great work AJ! :ok:
Pedro
Thanks Pedro, better luck finding error than picking bloody lotto numbers :blink:
The RAM very clearly helps us out with the errors, Tatts not so much :laugh2:
Pedro
:laugh2: yes very true Pedro, one day well crack it mate :good: well I hope :)
Lovely work AJ! Great die crack.
Do you think the second one might be a strike through oil/grease?
One for you to ponder ......
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/11067/2002_1_outback_st_1.jpg)
Yes it could well be Uni, hard to tell coldshut or oil fill sometimes. That's a nice fill mate :good:
Looks like the press ran out of "Puff" on that one Uni .
The die could have benifited from a it of a scrub as well :)
Quote from: 'ausjack' pid='88828' dateline='1463612218'That's a nice fill mate :good:
They tell me that Lizzie and Phil are a couple and often seen together :winkextra:
:laugh2:
Nice coin too Uni!
Pedro
A couple of recent finds:
2012 50c - there have been a number of coins with many cuds scattered around the reverse design but this one I think has the most that I have seen. Here's some sample sections of the coin.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/2012_50c_many_cuds_around_kangaroo___reeds_resized.jpg)
I don't have any others where there is such a large cud next to the 5.

(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/2014__1_ANZAC_partial_fills_in_As_in_ANZAC_resized.jpg)
Have picked up a 1985 50c in each of my last two noodles so very happy with that. :yahoo:
Pedro
Well done Pedro :good: they just keep coming don't they :winkextra:
Nice work Pedro!!! Great 2012 .... what no bubble :laugh2:
Gee, two 1985 is a great result!
Here's a link to my Anzac legend filled cud, it's a little more progressed with more in the A and some in the N.
Cud filled ANZAC (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/262444619144)
Just to be different, this one is a nice void.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/11067/2014_1_anzac_void_5.jpg)
I haven't kept any "standard" 2012 bubbles for a while. Most that are coming through now are pretty banged up so they are being returned to where they came from.
However, I did find another 2012 kangaroo body bubble in late April that I did hang onto.
The soldier must have got into big trouble and has buried his head in his kitbag! :biggrin:
Pedro
If he crossed with the 2012 50, he might have packed ....... up his bubbles in his old kit bag ...... :whistle2: ...... oh dear, it is Friday after all.
:laugh2:
Pedro
Nice find Uni but get with the program mate, that's the unknown soldier :laugh2:
:laugh2: .... definately unknown AJ .... now had there been a cud ...... he could have been incudnito .... (it's only gunna get worse ....)
:laugh2: now that's bad, even for your standards :)
:Alvarin_33:
Yes Uni has a tendency of doing that to you Robster :)
[attachment=3503][attachment=3504]
I noodled this one today , I cant remember seeing anything about this one with a double cud on it before , single cud , yes , but double cud , no , it is 2002 dated .
Great find Kel. :good:
I did find one with the same rim cuds back in mid 2014 but that's the only other one I've seen. I must check Nevol's list to see if it's there.
Nice find Kel :good:
Just checked my list, I have one 2002 with 2 Rev rim cuds, @ approx 7-8 and 9-9.30.
Apart from that 1, I have 13 other Outback coins with Rim Cuds listed, all on the Rev, so if anyone has an Obv RC on a 2002, it might be worth a bit more. :biggrin:
My son gave me this 2015 orange $2 yesterday that he had found in circulation. I haven't previously looked closely at these but was surprised by the gaps in the paint application.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/2015__2_orange_missing_paint_resized.jpg)
Had a bit of a squizz at some UNC ones I have and the variety of paint application between the rings varied considerably. The red ones I have had the paint far more consistently applied.
I have seen the 1999 20c with the cud under the Queen's bust before but this example has the cud extended to the IRB.

I have a few with a small cud, even one big cud, but none of them actually touch the IRB.
Cool Pedro. I can't say I've seen a 20c with a bust cud either.
Quite a number of years in the dollars, but some of them can be pretty hard to find too ....... hmmm ...... I can feel a thread coming on.
Look out Ethel ......
Speaking of the other thread how did you manage to post it Uni! Tells me that the title is too long and rejects my reply :scratch_one-s_head:

Hopefully should be ok now Pedro ....... I'd made a mistake in it as it was :laugh2: ..... hopeless ..... the left eye still wants to do the reading despite being able to see with the right now.

AJ PC? Well I never!
:mocking: Doesn't go with his shoes does it.
Maybe he has traded his Bovver boots for sandals.
Come on I can only try to be good but obviously it just can't be done :(
As hard as you try to be good it just doesn't work -well maybe sometimes.
So you need to just be yourself and we love you just as you are. Please don't change; we could not handle that.
Ok I'll try not to :zomby: :crazy_pilot: :d_sunny:
I found 3 Anzac coins (the ones that were sold along with the newspapers) in a 20c roll.
2 "Rememberance day"
1 "Australian flying corps"
Thanks to AC for posting pictures in another thread. They helped me figure out what the coins were.
Gee nice find Oz :good:
Been going through some stuff that I have had tucked away for a while and came across a couple of errors I haven't previously noted (pre cud-o-scope!).
1996 20c - cud under the 2

I got this one tonight at the club in Caboolture ,
I think it is facing about 10.30 . am or pm . I don't really know .

Nice indeed. My eyes aren't as good as they used to be, so I don't noodle alot anymore. Besides if I was looking for a cud on a coin it would have to be as big as Ayres Rock. :) Chances are I'd still miss it. :)
Another nice find Kel, ya doing well :)
Oh and from what I understand you line up the reverse so it's straight up and down and then see how far the queens head is rotated so easier if you put it in a 2x2.

I let my Gandkids look through my change jars, they have great eyesight.
Trouble is the keep what they find, God bless their little cotton sox :)
Nice ones Pedro! Great pics too, great work with the scope!
Good find Kel!
Are you trying to catch up with me on those upsets kel?
Quote from: 'Goldseeker' pid='89345' dateline='1464260808'Are you trying to catch up with me on those upsets kel?
not really Bruce , that's the first one I have found in a long time now and I think them and the mule are one of the best error coins of the centenary ,there are 2 others coins I like but have not found yet and they are the miss struck ones [ maybe called off centre ] and the wavy 20 .
I think the upset 2001 dollar is that way made error that it should be worth as much as a mule , I know that it is not because there are that many of them found .but I believe it to be a true error , as for the cuds found , they are made by a damaged die and not a true error .there is a guy selling upsets on eBay just now , and is asking for $ 100.00 ea for them .
that is my view on error coins
I found a incuse flag 50c today!
Not many of those around.
Well done on your find Oz coins. :)
Great work Oz!!! :good:
[attachment=3515][attachment=3516]Good to see there's still some out there Oz . Found this Vamp Liz in my change lol perfect spot for a cud.
Well done Oz :good:
You'll find that on a lot of years and denominations as well AS and also a mark down her cheek is also pretty common :winkextra:
Looks to be in pretty good nick for a ten year old coin.

Good luck with finding one.
I have never found one in normal change, only in noodling coins, but that's the thing about checking each coin - anything is possible!
Don't remember (could be just a faulty memory chip however!) this 2014 50c cud before - long cud down emu's body.

Is it possible that it's die crack?
Great pics Pedro. Gee 2014 was a busy year on the 50c, I'll have to check mine to see if I spotted it at all.
Quote from: 'Nevol' pid='89826' dateline='1464906853'Is it possible that it's die crack?
More like a chasm than a crack, Nancy :laugh2:. Looks to be a cud (but said with no certainty!)

Yes, the RAM obviously decided to set noodlers some challenges with their 2014 offering Uni!
Pedro
looks like all the 2015 spew roos have all gone from the clubs in Caboolture and Morayfield now ,
all I got today was 2 x standard roo 2014 dollars from R S L in Caboolture .
they are a little hard to find up this way , plenty of 2014 Anzacs around but not many 2014 standards dollars .
2014 MOR is meant to be a bit of a low mintage Kel :good:

Great find gnome :ok:
Is there one bar behind the emu's head too?
Pedro
Excellent one Gnome!
Thanks, :) think it's the crown of the emu's head, pedro.
I don't know about this one ? 2007 x 50 cent
on the head side at 8.00 and 9.00 2 lumps
on the tail side at 9.00 and 10.00 2 lumps
.and on the edge are the 2 teeth marks .

PMD sorry Kel, see how it's folded the metal.
:i_agree: Kel, those teeth marks must be from some type of coin sorter or roller or something as I've seen a number of them now.
a big thank you guys , I thought so , but better to ask then not ask .
The 'teeth' marks look a lot like the coin was being either held in a vise or on top of the 'grip' of a vise so the 'lumps' could be manufactured'. PMD anyway.
Those indents are not from a vice.
During my noodling days, I found quite a few 50c pieces with those marks on them so I can safely say Not From A Vice.
Sorry Nevol to be against your conclusion.
does some kind of clamp grab the blank and hold it tight before it is stamped ? my way of thinking maybe it does so they don't rotate like the 2001 dollars ,and cause an upset coin to be made .why , well the marks on this coin are directly opposite each other and on the tail side , the metal is pushed up and to the middle of the coin just a little bit . if I hold the coin straight up to the top point , clock wise the damage is on the 4 th to 5 flat panel , the corners shaved off , and from the top point anti clock wise the damage is on the 3 rd to the 4 th panel , going from the top point counting as 1 and going anti clock wise the markings are on the 3rd and 4th points , and clock wise the markings are on the 4 to 5 corners . .
I think maybe they are off set when they are dropped in to the press and the jaws of the clamp then grab them on the points ,instead of the flat area , ?????? maybe .
These marks are definately PMD.
My reasoning is: I found fresh marks on old coins.
They were fairly common for a while, but seem to have stopped happening now.
I guess the machine/s doing it has been fixed.
thanks oz , that's made up my mind now what to do with it , back to the pond with it . to easy . ,, kel ,,
I do like nice sized cuds that i don't have to strain my eyes to see. Had a cudding good week with latest noodling.

Oddly enough, I was only just describing the wavy 20 to my son just before lunch!
Brilliant find FP! :yahoo:
Pedro
Well done FP :good:
away from this , but I am in a hurry , my item finishers in about 1 hour .
does anybody know this guy please .
SACZURA
FROM WESTLAKE SHORE SOUTH AUSTRALIA PLEASE HELP .
Awesome find Fordy :drooling:
I HAVE FOR SALE 2 x sa 2 x nfi x 3 x vic x 20 sents coins the auction will finish in about one hour , tell all they can have one or any amount for $3 dollars each .
one guy bid $ 3.00 , this guy saczura bid $ 3.25 . a couple of days ago .
lunch time today he asked me to cancel his bid , I did not know how to cancel and I asked ebay via email how to do it but got no reply as of yet . in the mean time another bidder , put in a bid for $ 3.50 . so that leaves saczura out of it , ok , now saczura has put in another bid for $ 3.75 . so I have just sent him another email asking
what is wrong with you , and what is your problem .
no answer yet .
do any of you people know him or have heard of him , ?
he is from westlake shore south Australia .
It might be ugly but looks like a very well defined wavy base on the two.
If it is too ugly for you then the queue for new owner starts behind me.
Kel, It looks like that saczura did a automatic bid (proxy bid) as the date for his bid is 17th June at 4pm. If you can't cancel the bid the you may have to cancel the order when it finishes and say that the buyer asked to cancel the order. He has got some negative feedback as a seller.

thanks jenny , I did not even think to look at that .all he has to do is not pay and then all I have to do is pay ebay their commission about .40 cents , why would I bother with any else . looks like I will get over it and maybe he will bid on another item later on , then I will find out how to put a block on him . he is silly , why would he go to all this trouble , all he had to do was pay $ 3.50 , and we would not have had any of his rot . ok cant win them all , so the saying goes .
Searched a $500 bag last night and in that one bag were;
•2008 double tail x2
•2010 rabbit ears + spew roo
•2015 spew roo
Happy with that.

That's how the mint seems to send new coins into circulation nowadays.
It actually does look much better 'in the hand' than it shows in the scan.
Gee I haven't done much noodling for a while and just can't seem to get into it ATM but this is what I found out of a bag of 20's so pretty disappointing :( But the 2015 coins are slowly coming thru.
2015 beak/nose cud that nearly has a die crack forming.

also same 2015 coin with the same funny marks around part of the rim that I've found on a few other years as well but this one isn't quite as pronounced.

A 2002 Outback $1 "C" mintmark (mint your own) found just now.
I found a 1963 Australian sixpence in $12 worth of 5c pieces today!

Tooloot,
How many coins are you searching through?
I found my first 3 "50 years of decimal coins" 5 cent coins yesterday.
Yesty I noodled a few weeks worth of 'purse' coins and found:
1 x 2015 $2 Orange (has suffered badly from circulation, the rings almost looks like they've melted)
1 x 2012 $2 Poppy, plain
1 x 2013 20c Cent of Canberra
1 x 20c ATO (back to the pond).
Not in Tooloot's class but finally managed to noodle a 2000 incused millennium. :)

Well done Pedro,
The incuse millennium 50c is pretty hard to find.
They are one of my favorites.
The 2010 "huge rabbit ears" remind me of flames.

Nice work Pedro, love the ear tip! :good:
Tonight a 1992 Barcelona Olympiad $1 and a 2001 Centenary of Federation $1 with a reverse rim cud at 2 o'clock. I have previously found quite a few CoA $1 with reverse rim cuds (only ever one with an obverse rim cud) but always in the third quadrants -never before one in the first quadrant.
Nice work Jeff! :good:
I think my only CoF first quadrant reverse was around 2:15-2:45
The only CoF obverse was around 4:30-5:45
Neither a common placement in comparison to some other combinations.
Very fitting that you noodled a 1992 Barcelona Olympiad!
Some sweet finds there team, well done :good:
Just noodled this one. Not sure what's happened to it, in hand it's got extra metal on the Emu. Any ideas on cause welcome.:angel:
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10007/50c_2015_Rev_Metal_on_Emu_Trio.jpg)
Emu beer gut?
What year is it Nevol? I think some of the 2015's (could be 2014's)have some unusual cud streaks across this area so perhaps your's is a progression of that.
It's 2015. There are some scrapes on it in the area where I used Red & Yellow arrows, but the rest of it is well above the height of the rest of the emu. If it's a cud, it's a big one.
My thought was that maybe a lump of metal got onto the planchet and was flattened when the coin was struck, but I don't know if this is a likely scenario.
I'm pretty sure I have posted pic's of this effect before Nevol but can't remember what thread but I have quite a few of them and from my poor memory you'll find it on a few years :)
I think I might have been calling them melts as it looks like it's "molten", gotta be a pun in there for you somewhere Uni :blink: :friends:
I knew there was a post back a while, took me a bit to find it .....
Quote from: 'ausjack' pid='82600' dateline='1449888790'AJ's post back here shows the cud lines over the emu's chest well .......
I would have seen them back when AJ posted them, but I had forgotten about them. My memory is just getting worse all the time. Sorry AJ. :angel:
Has to be a damaged die causing them 'cos they are all so similar.
Nevol, I think your one has the most progression of any I've seen (perhaps it's similar to AJ's #6 pic). I think most of mine show more of a series of lines (like AJ's #11 pic) rather than the 'blob'. It's rather an odd error as there can be some of the cud lines on the field in front of the emu's head too I noticed (like AJ's #3 pic). Perhaps it's to do with chrome lifting off the die?
I'll have to do a sort out of all the different 2015's when I get some time. (I still have to look at Mr T's 2001 thoughts, though I did get a little bit of that done a few weeks ago, so there's some progress). I remember doing my 2014's and it just about did my head in sorting them out. 2014 was a BIG error year for the 50c.
My short term memory is a shocker ..... fixing something up in the shed and think I need to go down to the house and get x, y and z. Then getting back up there with just x. So frustrating, but my meds do that to me.
And do you think I can dig out a melt pun for AJ .... nope, drawing blanks at the moment.
All good peep's as I know what the memory lose is all about and it can be rather frustrating at times to say the least. Go to the fridge to get a drink and forget why i went there..bloody hopeless :dash1: Walk out of seeing a Dr and think either I wanted to ask them something and forgot too or I completely forgot what they've said but not much I can do about it so I feel for anyone that has this problem and you don't have to be old to have it either :(

I have a little brown book so I can take it with me because when I go away (on the very rare occasion) I don't always have access to the net.
Or if the net is down I'm lost so a book comes in really handy for me.
I also have a little black book, but haven't updated it for years.
I have a little black book (diary) that I call my brain that I take with me to appointments and yes I sometimes forget to look in it too :blush2:

Thanks all! I've been going through a lot of rolls lately and in spite of the not too low mintage in general, the 2000 50c pieces aren't that common. My worst day was one to check from $160 worth of 50c pieces.

this coin shows machine damage on the grading report from PCGS , would that also mean it is an error coin ???
please don't ask me where I got it from , because I have no idea where or how I got hold of it , but I believe it is still a lovely old coin with great history of why it was minted ..
also at 1954 on the report from PCGS it has a M after the date , does that M mean Melbourne by any chance ????
That's an excellent find Kel. Looks like a 'mint your own'.
No I don't think so Kel, maybe it got scratched across something and they think it was done at the mint but not real sure sorry and yes the M stands for melbourne. A lovely looking coin so a real shame it didn't grade.
thanks Jayson ,
also would look a lot better if I could use a camera better ,.
the coin is so much better then the picture shows .
Here ya go Kel, hows that mate :friends:
(http://i67.tinypic.com/ku7ig.jpg)
thanks mate , I don't know how you can do that but that is brilliant ,
still being UNC , it may be more valuable out of the slab .
I took the picture off PCGS but only because you showed the slab number.
Yes you'd probably be better off cracking it open and just put it into your collection because it's not worth much in a detailed slab and that's a shame as it's a nice looking coin except for the few little scrape lines.
I got this one in town last night , now I have one with big spew and one with small spew , both are 2015 .

I've got a few of the big ones as well. They seem to be very common for 2015. I haven't seen the small one yet, so that's a very good find!
Look like I might have to get into the noodling game again.
Haven't noodled anything since Sep 2015 except the coins that one gets in change every now and then.
We got out $500 in $1 coins and $500 in $2 for the kids too look through yesterday. Here's their finds:

Quote from: 'Unicorn' pid='98217' dateline='1474164372'How cool Mark, love the fake $2!
Yes, it's the first one we've found. And the highest grade one we've seen. It's interesting because I've never looked to closely at them before but it's clear that they are struck on cast planchets. The fish-tailing and metal flow lines are quite obvious and it's got quite a bit of lustre. Interestingly it's also spot on for weight too at 6.61 grams.
great haul kids - well done
love the curve based lettering on the $2
that is just tops!!

Looks like Double Bubble Trouble Pedro!! Nice ones!
Gee 2014 must have been "the year of the 50c error". I've near lost count of how many different errors there are. (Or there RRRRRRR for Jeff).

Interesting to see the 1995 Waltzing Matilda "C". There was a CAB article written by Ian McConnelly a few years ago about the Visitor Gallery press dollars for the early years 1991 to 1995. Apparently the Gallery presses were only operational for a limited period in 1995 and can be identified by the positioning of the edge milling in relation to AUSTRALIA in the legend. Anyhow, there needs to be a full section of reeding that falls within AUSTRALIA, starting at the right side of R and ending at the apex of the last A. Could be worth checking, but we know there were thousands minted on the production presses and sold over the Mint counter as well, so more than likely this coin is one of those, but you never know :)

Strangely, the first thing that came to mind was a vague similarity to the sights used on old fighters (ie back to the Biggles' days)!
I think the staff at the RAM must have been bored in 2014 and decided to see what they could do error-wise :biggrin:
Thanks for the tip Auto. Will check that out when I have a moment.
Pedro
I have as part of my coin records, a chart that shows the reeding location of all the $1 coins I have in my collection from 1992 op to the Kangaroo $1 of 2011.
I have mentioned elsewhere in this forum that the position of the reeding in relation to the word AUSTRALIA would play and can play a part in identifying where on what press the coin was minted on. However I was informed that the position of the reeding is non important so I discontinued the layout but I still scan the reeding position of all my $1 coins for records.
With your comments above Autocoupler, I had better update my plot and get it ready for possible publication here.
If you have a copy of that CAB article it would be nice to read it.
No problems Goldie, will try and dig it out. I know there has been logical denial of the edge milling alignment theory, but in the earlier years as mentioned there wasn't a plethora of coins being processed on the gallery presses, so the likelihood of die replacement was minimal, therefore all coins from these presses are more than likely to display the same edge milling alignment. From memory the article referred to minimal periods of Gallery press operation for some years during the 1991 - 95 period, and in 1995 it was reportedly a matter of just a few weeks.
IMHO in the past there was misinformation that led people to believe the mint mark dollars they were purchasing over the RAM counter were from the gallery presses, which is incorrect. I think it's accepted that these coins were from the production presses.

Super. :wavemulticolor:
A wee bit off centre but in saying that, a MULE is welcome anytime. Well done.
On a previous, now defunct Coin Forum, there was a MULE tally discussion where members could post pictures/scans of MULES found and then a running total.
It was started as a result of misbelieving that only 6,000 were in existence.
I wonder if could be done on this forum.
If not to disprove the 6,000 figure but to give us a count of MULES found.
Sounds a plan. Start a thread, put your total and add two for me.
As anyone else puts a figure in then edit the initial post to add their figure and update the running total.
Supercalifragilisticexpialajeffsus!!!!!!
Way to go Jeff!!!! :good:
Even though the pun
Is something quite atrocious!
:laugh2: ..... Touché
It would have been helpful if you'd taken a photo of both sides. I've just completed another $2 noodle, and it took me a while to figure out what was so special about a $2 coin that was slightly off centre. Now, I know it's a $1 coin, which makes sense. Good find! :yahoo:
What is special about the 2011 $1 with the Kangaroos I've been spending them was that wrong ?????
Nothing special that I can think of unless it's got some errors on it.
tony ,
2011 x 10 c maybe the one you are thinking about ,it is a low mintage year for them . ,, kel ,,
Way to go Jeff!! Great find on the mule.
We noodled with the kids about 1k in $2, $1 and 20c yesterday after making a trip to the Commonwealth Bank roll vending machine (I love that thing) in a shopping centre not too far.

There's nothing special about 2011. That's just the year that Goldseeker got sick of keeping these records and started doing something more productive with his time. ;)

I found a 1984 spew roo the other day, and I was a bit surprised to see one that old, since most of the other examples I have are dated 2015. You did very well to get 3 red ANZAC coins in just $1000. I've got a strike rate about 10-15x lower than that, but still higher than a lot of other people's. :)

Why on earth would you do that Kel.
Your statement about the 2011 10c being a low mintage year is quite correct :good:
1.75 million is most certainly a low mintage for a 10c issue :ok:

My strike rate for the 2011 10c is about one in every 6.36kg (or one in every 1136 coins). I've noodled 8 so far, which makes it only slightly more difficult to find than the 1991 10c. The one that really gives me nightmares is the 1985 10c. I've noodled over 50kg of 10c coins so far, and only found one of them, so I wish you the best of luck in trying to find one of those in your change. It makes finding the 2011 one look like child's play. :winkextra:

I think I've only found a two or three 1985s in the 16+ years I've been looking at my change - each fairly circulated too from memory.
From someone who rarely checks his change or has little inclination to noodle for coins, and at the risk of stating the obvious, the attraction of chasing down these scarcer coins must be the challenge as well as only wanting to pay face for them? Not trying to be a smarty as I do understand these are logical reasons for the activity, but from my angle these coins are also out there in Mint Sets?
Pretty much. I started collecting coins when I was a kid, but I didn't know anything about mint sets, so I tried to get every coin I could from change. I also did a bit of noodling to fill in some of the gaps in my collection, my parents got sick of it, so I just sat around and waited for them to arrive in change.
As I got older, I became more aware of the mint sets, but I was turned off by the high price tag, the fact that they do not include all circulating coins for any given year, and the fact that they often include non-circulating commemorative coins. These last two problems totally defeat the purpose of having the mint sets, which is why I still prefer to get my coins through other means.
On top of all this, there isn't really anything "fun" about buying a mint set. I enjoy the thrill of finding coins that are really scare in circulation, because it gives me a sense of accomplishment. How often have you found an incuse flag 50c, a wavy baseline 20c, or a $1/10c mule in a mint set?
I received one of those mules in change once, and I'm awfully glad that I didn't spend it, because it's such a good example of the mint "stuffing up". Considering that you rarely check your change, how can you be sure that you haven't thrown a mule back into the pond, and forfeited the $500+ you would have made from selling it to another collector?
I Get where you are coming from Hercules and I imagine that you would get a great sense of satisfaction and achievement finding ALL your coins from the Wild.
Some of us however are not as patient as other collectors and go the Mint set route.
Each to their own and I have to admire your commitment and tenacity Mate :good:
:i_agree: totally. I did say I rarely check change which wasn't quite correct as these days I do often look for the standouts like the mule and the wavy etc. But as trout said, some of us are impatient, so the mint sets become an easy source for most of the circulation coins. But yeah, I do get achievement and challenge aspect of noodling for the scarcer dates etc. :good:
One day, I probably will get the mint sets, just to fill in all the MSO years. I think it's a bit perverse that there are so many years when particular denominations weren't circulated. :)
Of course MSO years do occasionally turn up with noodling so all is not lost.
Here's the list of NCLT I've noodled:
1952 6d
2015 20c - WWI 1914-1918
2015 20c - WWI Mateship
2010 50c - 150th Running of the Melbourne Cup
1995 $1 - Waltzing Matilda (S)
1991 $2
I could probably get them all eventually, but it will take a LOOOOOOOONG time! ;)
I only started noodling again on Monday of this week. Today I found the following:
2016 LARGE Rabbit Ear; Pictured in the Rabbit Ear thread.
Two cuds on the large roo:-

http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=14802
http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=14803
2 x 1993 Conservation Wave Cuds;
1 x 1994 Rabbit ear; and
2 x NCLT: "C" Counterstamp Sydney Harbour Bridge, "C" Mint Mark Smithy.
Quite a good haul for today and only 640 x $1 coins noodled.
How many 2016s did you get in total? They're still very sparse up here in Queensland, as is the 2015 ANZAC one.
After noodling through 260 $1 I found:
1 x 2003 Centenary of Women's Suffrage with 9:00 rim cud
1 x 2009 MoR with cud (is that what you call it) above the top kangaroo
Nothing too special but I'm happy with what I got :angel:

A 2012 wheat sheaf dollar [C] and aUNC+ 1984 $1 this morning.
Anyone know if this is PMD or some kind of error? It weighs in a 9.02 grams

Now your getting the hang of it Noelos237. The more coins one looks at the better you will become in spotting errors/varieties particularly after the first 1m coins examined.
Oh and by the way, keep a record of the number of coins you have searched looked at by denomination and what you are finding.
I have just done my daily noodling for: 1 x 1995 "C" Waltzing Matilda and 1 x 1993 Conservation coin Wave Cud.

Indeed!
Very nice Hurcules!
Quote from: 'Ozcoins' pid='99202' dateline='1475147356'Very nice Hurcules!
I had the exact same thing happen with an orange coin several months ago, but I couldn't be bothered to take a picture of it. I changed my mind this time because the coloured Olympic coins were never distributed in rolls, so I thought it was worth savouring the moment.
There was actually another Olympic coin - a black one - hiding inside this roll, plus two more that were hiding inside other rolls. This brings tonight's tally to 1x Red, 2x Black, and 1x Blue. As you can imagine, with a strike rate as good as this, I'll be going back tomorrow to get some more. I love this noodling game! :yahoo:
One more error I found:

The bank's given me plenty of 2015 spew roos. It's one of the most common error coins I've found.
looks like I made a mistake ,
I though they would be pretty hard to find .
o well back to the drawing board again .
I haven't found one yet of the 2015 Pew Roos since I commenced noddling last week.
Hopefully that will change.
I am limited by the supply of coins now as most of the banks in my area have counting machines and rolled coins instead of the big plastic bags of loose coins.
Further a lot of the clubs in my area will now not swap $ for $ for some unknown reason.

I wouldn't call it a mistake. Most of the 2015 coins I've found have been in aUNC condition, but that won't be the case in another 5 or 10 years. My advice is to collect as many 2015 spew roos as you can, and then sell them off to other collectors when the ones left in circulation begin to show signs of age.
Most of the early $1 coins are so badly worn that they're hardly worth keeping, even when they have cuds, so now is your golden opportunity to collect some spew roo coins that are in almost mint condition. Believe me, in 50 years' time, people will be grateful for what you did. :)

I just noodled my first Paralympic coin. I've now found 4 Blue, 8 Black, 10 Red, 10 Yellow, and 3 Green Olympic coins, plus one Paralympic one. Considering just how common they are in circulation, I have no choice but to conclude that these are definitely circulating coins. :)

I bet this is a $2 coin. What the image shows is very common on 1999 $2. I've had dozens of them and have tossed most back into the pond.
I don't think that they are worth more than $2 each, so keep a couple just for the heck of it.
I've seen similar coins on CCF described as 'rim fin' coins, where the fin has folded over from wear & tear.
I'm not well enough informed on the minting processes to know if there would be that many fins on one coin though. :scratch_one-s_head:
I'd welcome any other ideas on what causes these anomalies.

Pedro, that 2011 is unusual. :good: I don't think I've seen a cud under the paw before. Good timing as I'm doing a cull at the moment and after 2012 my 2011's were the next in the queue!

I found another 2015 spew roo today in brisbane
Quote from: 'keldaw' pid='100661' dateline='1477821419'I found another 2015 spew roo today in brisbane
You must be a magnet for those Kel.
I have been in Brisbane the last few days and didn't even get a 2015 $1 in change; let alone a spew roo.
We did get our three iced coffees and cookies at a waterfront cafe on Bribie Island. Only took an hour and several complaints. The two ladies at the table next to us asked for their money back and promptly departed. Another table of people on leaving wished the couple at the table the other side of us "good luck". And the lady with a small child in a pram, waited for her takeaway coffees for about forty minutes before just walking away.
That is definitely a business that deserves the Fulvio embargo option.
Oh, nearly forgot, the choc chip cookies never arrived and we received ginger cookies -they weren't bad but we looked in the display case on the way out and there were plenty of choc chip cookies!
Go to the bank and get some. The 2015 spew roo is everywhere here if you're willing to look for it.
I have found two already back here at home. So, from my average of $1,500 of $1 coins per week (small town, only one bank and that is about the best they can provide that I haven't already seen) I may find some more along the way.
jeff ,you should have told me you were in bris and we could have meet you and we live on the mainland side of the bribie bridge , so you were very close to us . ,, kel ,,
Today I noodled 500 50 cent coins and found:
1 x 1988 Bi-centennial
2 x 1993
1 x 2001 CoF QLD
4 x 2005 Robe CUD
2 x 2014 AIATSIS
1 x 2016 Changeover
That's a pretty poor strike rate for AIATSIS and Changeover coins, but the rest is pretty good.
I got a 1972 5c piece - high echidna though.
My result from $4,000 x $1 coins are:
1 x 2014 100 Years Of ANZAC - with a chunk taken out that has removed the "R" from Dollar;
1 x 2010 Kangaroo - Rabbit Ear/Spew Roo;
1 x 1984 Kangaroo $1 - Strike through oil removing some of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd kangaroo;
1 x 2011 Kangaroo $1 - Sun Flare;
1 x 2016 Kangaroo $1 -Spew Roo (Small);
1 x 1998 Kangaroo $1 - Rabbit Ear;
1 x 2000 HMAS Sydney 11 - NCLT.

Interesting find last night. This must be a speed record for plucking a coin from a set and throwing it in the pond.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/2016_1.jpg)
It could be from a set or it could be a "Mint your Own" coin that you can get when you visit the Mint in Canberra.
Odd to find a NCLT coin this recent in the wild , nicely found Mate :)
I didn't realise that is also a mint your own coin. A more likely scenario that.
Noodling finds for the week.
Out of 720 x $1, 400 x $0.50, 400 x $0.20 coins I found:
1 x 2000 Millennium $0.50 - Incuse;
1 x 2008 $1 - Rabbit Ear;
1 x 2016 $1 - Rabbit Ear (Small);
1 x 1999 IYOOP $1 - Rotation.
Well done Goldie!
How much was the 1999 $1 rotated by?
I would say around 30 degrees or 1 o'clock position.
Once I get this new computer all fixed up I shall post a scan of it.
I must have looked at several thousand of those and always been upset (but never an upset)!
Good find.
Likewise Jeff, I've always looked but never found. Have had a few minor ones but they were all within tolerance.
I think in total, I have found four.
I have two in my collection and I have given the others away.
They seem to be quite scarce.
A couple I raided out of the wife's purse. :biggrin:

The 2009 pre-rabbit ears is interesting, another Roozilla perhaps!
I haven't had the cash to noodle for a while so I'm going to have to check my keepers to see if I've missed either of those.
Keep up the good work!!! :good:
Yes, Uni, I certainly haven't seen the "ärmour" before. The neck/shoulder also has some unusual happening.
Pedro
I got a 1972 New Zealand 50c piece in a roll of 50c pieces - most unexpected.
my newest find was today ,
1 x 2016 Anzac dollar , my first one.
1 x outback dollar , from some ones collection .
because it is brand new .
I am happy with that ..
today,s find 4 x 2016 dollars and 2 more 2016 x 5 cent coins
and dawn got a $ 2.00 2016 .
so we had a great day noodling ..
Not a coin, but I got a 2015 $10 note the other week, and a $5 note with prefix EI 95 on the weekend (not worth keeping unfortunately).
Just had a skim over $200 50c, $300 $1. So far only thing worth keeping has been the well known cud on the priest/chaplains robe thingy 2005 50c.
today I went through my change and found 2016 dated 2x .20 c , 1 x 1 dollar 1 x .10 cents and2 x .5 cents and my bottle revealed about 6
x .5 cents with a bad stamped S D , or no S D but it could be my eyes , I cant seem to get a better picture .
(http://i65.tinypic.com/15e7n20.jpg)(http://i64.tinypic.com/11v09qu.jpg)
all my .5 cents with the S D under the 5 .
these are 4 different coins

Kel, I can see the SD on all these coins. A bit 'mushed', but still there.
It looks like the die may have been damaged in that particular spot for the SD on so many coins to look the way they do.
I though the same Nancy , but that is the closes that I can magnify them , my machine cant get it any closer look at them .
I thought there was something wrong with them , as it was not a clear S D . thanks for your answer .
My noodling of 1500 x $1 coins, 800 x $0.50c, and 1100 x $0.20c pieces over two days gave me:
2 x 2016 $1.00 cuds;
1 x 2000 $0.50 Incuse;
2 x 1993 $0.50 pieces;
1 x 1988 $1.00 in mint condition (A/UNC);
1 x 1999 $1.00 Last ANZAC (C) Mint Mark;
1 x 2016 $1.00 Roo Spew Roo;
1 x 2008 $1.00 Large Rabbit Ear;
1 x 2010 $1.00 Mini Rabbit Ear.
Not much there but at least I am still finding a few things.
Finding an incused in $1500 is good. Average for those now is much more than one in 1500.
A few oddities from a recent noodle.
2005 50c (Comm Games) - the longest cud/s on the top of the Queen's head I have seen.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/2005_50c_Comm_Games_long_cud_on_top_of_Queen_s_hair.jpg)
2008 50c - common enough to have the doubling on the top of the shield but I can't recall seeing the additional bumps before.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/2008_50c_doubling_and_cuds_on_top_of_shield.jpg)

Pedro
Nice ones Pedro, great pics! I'm going to have to check mine now! :laugh2:
This one turned up yesterday. Extremely scarce year from circulation -in fact I have found more 1966 'Wavy 2' 20¢ than I have found 1985.
Either the stated mintage (RAM says 2.7M (https://www.ramint.gov.au/twenty-cent)) is wrong or only a very small proportion of those minted were actually sent to circulation.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/1985_20c.jpg)
1988 is even harder to find. I have only ever noodled one of those.
Needle in a haystack find that one Jeff. Nice work!
Pedro
1988 20c are mint set only coins
Quote from: 'jens coins' pid='103593' dateline='1483772812'1988 20c are mint set only coins
Yet I have found one from circulation. It is not known if any of the 174,000 minted were released or if all were melted down. Mine is in circulated condition, commensurate with its age -so a question mark on that. Most probably ex-mint set that was released into the pond.
P.S. I have just had a look at my "circulated" 20¢ set and also have;
•1981 proof (only 3 claws!)
•1990
•1991
•1991 proof
•1992.
All noodling finds.
P.P.S. Just for the record; over the years I have found eight 'wavys' and only three 1985.
Gee good going with the wavy's Jeff :good: Only ever found one myself.
:i_agree: Top Stuff Jeff & AJ.
I've never found any.
Yeah but you've found a mule and that's the one that's always avoided me Uni :cray:
I found a 1991 $2 last year, but it clearly hadn't spent much time in circulation. The rest of the standard design MSO coins all still eluding me.
Good find Herc :good: I only look for errors (and they must be big) and coloured $2 coins now as it doesn't take long and you have a few hundred sitting there.
It certainly made me feel good to find a $2 coin for every year from 1988 to 2015 within a single $600 batch. I even got a red ANZAC Day coin and two orange Remembrance Day coins within that batch, but I was missing the earlier coloured ones.
I'd like to congratulate Jeff on finding a 1985 20c. I really struggle to find the 1985 10c, even though there are supposed to be 2 million of them out there, so it must be almost impossible to find the 20c one.
:wavemulticolor:
This week's efforts:
2001 Air Force $1 NCLT. Having a bit of a run on NCLT over the last 10 months. Found far more in this period compared to other years.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/2001__1_Royal_Australian_Air_Force.jpg)
1994 $1 - cud on 3rd kangaroo's tail (with associated bits) and cud over over the top of the "1" (same coin).

Pedro
Well done Pedro :good:
Top stuff Pedro! Geez your close ups are excellent! :good:
Thanks guys!
Must be time for the RAM to release some 2017s so that we have something new to chase. Not a lot of new finds of late.
Pedro
Not yet. I'm still waiting for all the 2016 ones to be released. Most of them have only appeared in the last couple of months.
I'm also still waiting for the rest of the normal 2016 coins to appear in quantity. I have as many $2 & $1 that I need, but the rest are few & far between.
50c x 2
20c x 2
10c x 2
5c x 1
These were sent to me, so still waiting to find them myself.
Hi Nevol,
The plain 2016 10c and 20c coins are abundant in the Armaguard rolls I've been noodling, and I believe they must have been released some time ago in order to appear in such large quantities. The plain 50c is harder to find, but it's still there if you go through enough coins.
This is what I'm up to:
2016 Standard 5c: 0 (from $48)
2016 Standard 10c: 42 (from $96)
2016 Standard 20c: 62 (from $192)
2016 Standard 50c: 13 (from $480)
2016 Standard $1: 30 (from $720)
2016 Standard $2: 19 (from $1200)
2016 Changeover 5c: 0 (from $48)
2016 Changeover 10c: 4 (from $96)
2016 Changeover 20c: 0 (from $192)
2016 Changeover 50c: 6 (from $480)
2016 Changeover $1: 0 (from $720)
2016 Changeover $2: 4 (from $1200)
2016 ANZAC $1: 10 (from $720)
2016 Olympics/Paralympics $2: 2 (from $1200)
That Air force one is a good find Pedro. I think NCLT finds are the real 'cream on the cake' when noodling.
My last one was 2011 Presidents Cup $1 found last week.
My luck continues...

Well done Herc :good:
The pick of this week's noodling:
1994 $1 with two laminations/strip - across the top of the tiara and across the Queen's hair (looks like Lizzie has a helmet on).

2000 $1 Last ANZACs NCLT
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/2000__1_Last_ANZACs.jpg)
Pedro
That is a nice lamination error(s).
Wasn't the Last ANZACs coin made in 1999? I've got one of these in my collection, so it isn't hard for me to verify this.
Yes, you're right Herc. I must admit I thought immediately of the 2000 Last ANZACs PNC when I found it and didn't even bother to look at the date on the coin.
Pedro
Great lamination Pedro!!!!! :good:
Very nice finds Pedro, might have to get you to do some noodling for me :blush2: :)
:laugh2:
Pedro
I think Pedro will keep noodling for Pedro.
Unless, of course, AJ is prepared to offer a decent remuneration.
No wuckers, half of what he finds :D
I'll have to sharpen the hacksaw then ...
Pedro
what ever it takes Pedro, I'm good with that mate :winkextra:
This morning a 2007 Harbour Bridge $1 (C) and a 2016 "Sovereign" reverse dollar [also (C)].
Also a 1999 Older persons $1 with a small reverse rim cud at 10 o'clock. I haven't seen one of those with a cud in that position before.
Nice work Jeff! :ok:
Pedro
Good sore Jeff :good: Funny most are C mint mark that I find as well, occasionally I'll find one that's not but the vast majority are.

Probably because the majority of NCLT coins are "C" mintmarks/counterstamps :)
Nice work Jeff!!! :good: .......... geez I'm suffering from NWS. That bad that I was excited to see an "unchecked" 5c in Mrs Uni's purse the other day.

True, and because they're normally the cheapest of the mint marks they're the first to get spent when times are tough.
I would think that most of the NCLT that is found in circulation come from collectors that have given up the hobby and can't be bothered with eBay and the like to sell these or from deceased estates.
There is of course the odd few knocked off from Pop's or nanna's collection to buy lollies with by kids :laugh2:
I myself have a couple of hundred dollars in face value of carded $1 NCLT coins surplus that are probably not worth the effort selling individually on eBay and these may yet end up in the "pond" as well.
This could also be where many of these NCLT coins are coming from as well .
I have yet to find a NCLT coin in my change But if I did I would definitely keep it because for me it would hold more relevance than if I had just bought the coin :)
Yes it's good to find them from the pond :good:
Maybe put them on feebay as a bulk lot and see how they go :)
Here are the NCLTs I found yesterday morning...

When I came in last night from my outside jobs I finished noodling the same bag and found this one...

I found one of these in my first noodling for a while
http://www.australian-coins.com/blog/2013/01/australian-2013-holey-dollar-and-dump-mintmark-dollar.html
Was hoping for a 50 years of decimal currency $1, but this was a nice find too.
Good find Oz :good:

I once found a Sir Henry Parkes coin with a "B" mintmark in my change. I reckon no one noticed it was NCLT because without the mintmark, it would have been a normal circulating coin.
Did a $400 bag of 50¢ last night and another this morning. Found a 1985 in each bag -that is very good.
Found I was short a few coins to pack up the bags to return so, when i went to get the paper I popped into the bank (next door to newsagent) and grabbed a $10 bag.
Guess what?
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/1985x3.jpg)
The teller did tell me late last week someone cashed in a large quantity of coins and, every day since, I have been getting $500 of $1, $400 of 50¢ and $100 of 20¢ and they still have more. Guess where I'm going now? (Before they send them all back to Armaguard tomorrow.)
Nice Trifacta Mate :):good:
Well done Jeff!!! :good:
Wow Jeff.
Normally they are very few of them turning up!
Nicely done Jeff!
Pedro
Makes Hercules statistics look sick. Normally I would not expect to find one of those more often than every 2 or three months.
Beginner's luck?
Just scored another $400 from same source so, fingers crossed (but that does slow down the noodling)!
Good luck Jeff!
Congratulations, Jeff! :wavemulticolor:
At least that explains where all the 1985 50c coins went.
Does anyone else have any coins they'd like to place back into circulation for me to noodle? :drooling:
Sorry mate. they are staying here.
Only one 1985 50¢ in the last lot.
Strange, not one 1993 in all those coins. Usually would find several in that quantity and always more of them than 1985.
The coins you were searching were all saved earlier than 1993?
It's funny how you say "only one" ☺
No, mix of years from 1969 to 2016. Definitely not a random assortment though -large number of only a few commemoratives and large numbers of a few particular years- but no pattern that I could discern.
Did you get any incuse flags? I'd easily chose one of those over 3 1985s.
No incused. Still four 1985 is not bad and did get some high grade early years.
The only reason I can think for excess of 1985 in a big batch of cashed in coins is that is a significant year for that person -birth year maybe?

Chances are they just liked the "new" effigy. Another possibility is that someone told them they were scarce, so they collected a whole heap of them in the hope of making a profit.
Some good finds there team :good:
Missing 'M' noodled!
Noodled a bag of 20¢ and found a missing 'M'. :derisive:
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/EANS.jpg)
"NO CASH VALUE" That seems about right. :laugh2:
Are you going to get the bank to replace it? I once found a bunch of them in the reject bin of a coin deposit machine, but I can't remember where I put them. Seeing that they have absolutely no cash value, I really couldn't care less. ;)
An interesting one turned up today.

Is it the full 9 grams Jeff?
My precision, 100g scale says my 100.0 test weight is 99.98g and this coin shows up at 8.99g. That's good enough for me that it is a full planchet (except for a little wear and tear).
I'd agree Jeff. Geez it's a pearler.
I've got one that's a bit similar, but Jeff's coin is more extreme than mine.
I'll try to rustle up some images tomorrow.
weird how only the H is present

Good find Jeff :good:
I just noodled a $200 bag of 50¢ which yielded a 1985 and two 1993. I am having a great run with these very low mintage years lately. :wavemulticolor:
I'm having a great run with the 1972 5c and the 2004 Pointy A 20c. Both are popping up much more often than I expected, whereas the 1985 10c, the 1991 Ram's Head 50c, and the 2000 Incuse Flag 50c are popping up much less than I expected. I'm also getting lots of 2014 MoR dollars, but no more 2015 ANZAC dollars. Hence, the former now outnumber the latter by 2:1, despite having a lower mintage.
I'm still picking up the odd 2014 $1 MOR (couple this week) and have collected more than I would have expected for the stated mintage. Sydney must have gotten a bit more than their fair share of them.
Had to throw a 1993 50c back unfortunately as it had had a hard life :@
Pedro
Well done on the finds team :good:
Gee I'll have to have a noodle once I get all my bills out of the road :(

I usually do the noodling first, and then use the rejects to pay my bills. That gives me more coins to noodle with, thereby increasing my chances of finding something rare. :biggrin:

So it's not a problem handing it over then :laugh2: Doing well to have found two :good:
Definitely not a problem, but I'd still be very reluctant to part with it. I reckon the wavy's the only major variety I'll never actually get from circulation, which is why I'm tempted to arrange a swap. Knowing my luck, I'll probably find one the moment the swap's been completed. :dash1:
QuoteKnowing my luck, I'll probably find one the moment the swap's been completed.
That is the story of me getting a 2000 $1 mule. Then two came later from my noodling.
Keep looking Herc as you just never know, took me over ten years to find mine.
Quote from: 'ausjack' pid='105574' dateline='1487544506'Keep looking Herc as you just never know, took me over ten years to find mine.
That's roughly what I'm expecting. Last year, I noodled $1344 worth of 20c coins, but according to other collectors, there's only one wavy in every $18 000 worth of 20c coins. Thus, it will take me about 13 more years to find one, assuming they don't withdraw all the cash before then.
Gee I wouldn't have a clue how much I used to do, a lot..maybe around 20k a year a few years ago but I've been a bit slack and might do about 10k or less if I'm lucky.
Nothing spectacular but I got a 2012 $2 Poppy coin in my change today :)

I thought it was fairly obvious that it wasn't coloured. There's no way Trout would have called a coloured poppy "nothing spectacular" when almost none of us have been able to noodle them.

Cool finds Pedro! Great pics as well. I'll have to check my 2014 MOR errors now! (Love the Spatypus).
Good finds and images!:good:
Well spotted Pedro :good:
2015 ANZAC Centenary (Gallipoli landing design) today.
Plus a New Zealand 50¢ (current type) and an Italian 50 lira in a dollar sack. I don't know about bank policy on "ring ins" but I am fairly sure that staff policy is to offload them ASAP.
I think your right Jeff and they palm them off as quick as they can so it saves them doing paperwork :dash1:
Good work Jeff! :ok:
Pedro
2012 Solomon Islands $2 in a $1 sack. I already had one and this one looked like it has done 4 or 5 years of hard labour so I threw it back.
You should consider yourself lucky. I never get them in the rolls. :dash1:
I got two changeover 5c pieces from $10 of 5c pieces.
Pretty good to find a couple in $10 worth.
If you can get them you'll probably find more foreign coins in armourguard rolls Herc as that's where I find more.
Another 2015 $1 spew roo this morning. Looks like they may just be common enough that everyone has a chance of finding one eventually.

I do get Armaguard rolls and I get plenty of foreign coins in the 5c, 10c and 20c rolls, but very few in the 50c rolls and almost none in the $1 and $2 rolls. I think the Kiwi $1 coins and the Solomon Island $2 coins in particular get filtered out because of their size or weight. :dash1:

I've already got plenty of them. Nothing special, but worth keeping in AU condition. ;)

I reckon the bucket of them from that die must have all gone in bulk to the area that you and Kel live in.
Down my way I've only found 1 which well and truly took it's time to arrive (Oct 2016).
QuoteSolomon Island $2 coins
are identical size and general appearance to AU $1 coins and I have found several in Armaguard rolls.
Don't know about this "filtered out" theory when I have found US quarters and Italian 500 lira (and have had plenty of other mismatched for size/weight/appearance) in the past.
I just did another batch of 5c and $2 coins.
From 12 rolls of 5c coins, I got:
1x 1972 (Low SD)
1x 1981 Fiji
12x 2015
16x 2016 Standard
0x 2016 Changeover
From 12 rolls of $2 coins, I got:
33x 2016 Standard
3x 2016 Changeover
1x 2016 Olympics (Blue)
1x 2016 Olympics (Black)
1x 2016 Olympics (Red)
1x 2016 Olympics (Yellow)
1x 2016 Paralympics
Well done Hercules.
I have not found any coloured $2 for a while.
How are you searching for them? The Armaguard rolls in Brisbane are full of them! :biggrin:
Armaguard rolls in Sydney.
Quote from: 'Hercules' pid='105491' dateline='1487416394'I just found a Sir Henry Parkes dollar that was rotated by about 40° - and in above average condition! :yahoo:
Here's a photo of the Sir Henry Parkes rotation I found a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a 2x2 to put it in, so I had to flip it over with my fingers, trying my best to keep it upright. Is anyone able to measure the angle for me?

NAB here get armaguard rolls and they get heaps of world coins in them and all denomination but the ANZ get them from another lot and I haven't found any foreign coins in any of their rolls yet.
Quote from: 'Hercules' pid='106126' dateline='1488432174'Is anyone able to measure the angle for me?
I've got two, one's 320°, the other's 330° and yours is a bit more so I'd estimate 335-340°, just a rough guess though.

Thanks, Nevol. That was my guess as well. When I hold the queen's portrait upright and flip the coin, the portrait of Sir Henry Parkes is almost at a 45° angle, which looks rather creepy to me. My mind keeps telling me that this can't be happening, but I've done it so many times now that I know I'm not imagining it. :)

Rolls which I'm pretty sure were Armaguard.
Herc, I copied your $1 Parkes images and this is the result.
I believe the upset degrees are calculated clockwise, well that's how I've done it anyway. If you want it CCW, then it's 24°.
I also put a copy of it in the Decimal Upset thread:

Hercules $1 Parkes Rotated 336°
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10007/Hercules__1_Parkes_Rotated_336deg.jpg)
Thanks, Nevol. Just keep in mind that there's probably a few degrees worth of error in that amount, due to the fact that I had to flip it over manually. I really ought to put it in a 2x2, but I don't have any on hand at the moment because I store most of my coins in food-grade plastic bags. I don't know which chemicals these bags contain, but I've been using them for over 15 years and never had a problem with them, so I assume they must be safe. :)
You can always put a rubber band around them just to take a quick pic then get the band off quick smart ;)
Here are some of my latest finds:

(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/11527/2010_Bubble_20c_-_Small.jpg)
Nice work Hercules. Those 2010 bubble 20c are pretty rare south of the border.
Pedro
I'll have to find my coins and see how many of these bubbles I have because from my poor memory I have a few, but then you are a lot further south of the border (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi79N4_96ik) then me Pedro :)
Yep, I haven't found any in the "deep" South AJ :biggrin:. I had to import some from the north.
Pedro

Some newies and/or extensions of previous finds:
1999 20c - cud at top of the Queen's neck (along with doubling on the Queen's head). Haven't seen a cud in that spot before.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/1999_20c_cuds_at_top_of_Queen_s_neck_Pt_2.jpg)
1978 50c - cud underneath the bottom left hand side of the shield. Again, nothing found like this for earlier 50c years.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/1978_50c_cud_under_LHS_of_shield.jpg)
1984 $1 - start of a spew roo.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/1984__1_start_of_spew_roo.jpg)
2016 $1 - start of rabbit ear on top kangaroo and splash cuds on the 2nd kangaroo.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/2016__1_splash_cuds_on_top_and_2nd_kangaroos.jpg)
And on the same coin. Potentially another version of a spew roo if the die degraded further. Other cuds on the 3rd kangaroo have previously been further across the back to the right.

Excellent pics Pedro :good:. The one of the cud below the shield, wow, reminded me of my old concreting jobs ;).
Fight, fight, fight :) Tonight's fight night is proudly bought to you by AJPCGS, the only place to get your coins slabbed :mocking:
In the blue corner is the unstoppable Uni, 17 fights never defeated, 14 TKO's :yahoo:
And in the red corner, the little aussie battler, the big "G", hasn't been in many blues yet but he'll definitely be a real contender in this banter weight fight :yahoo:
Now I want a good clean fight, no hitting below the belt, no gouging, no biting, no spitting and no pulling hair (we'll leave that for the ladies when they fight) , now lets get it on :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbCsQjuHRrY

I hear that G has a very effective "statue" mode of defence so I'm a little concerned as he really stands his ground. He's that well built they reckon hitting him is like hitting cement.
btw: Great pics as per usual Pedro!!!
Yeah mate not a worry, we can even put a smiley face on for you :)

After months of searching, I've finally found a couple of 2001 5c coins with the IRB spaced. Having previously searched 3360 (or $168 worth of) 5c coins without success, this comes as a much-needed morale boost. :yahoo:

"What is that on the kangaroo's thigh - an irregular shaped cud or just some scraping? "
Just bag marks on his thigh. Not a great photo just wanted to let you know what we have found on the new 2017 50 cent.
Well done finding 2017 coins so early Jen :good:
Nice one Jen. A really unusual shape too.
A half-decent 1975 New Zealand 20c piece is the most interesting thing I've found in the last couple of weeks.
Have you got a set yet Mr T?
I don't think so - I've got quite a few nice ones from change and a couple of purchases, plus a few more circulated dates from change but I still think I'm missing a couple. Never really worked out why but any New Zealand coin from the 2000s is less common in change. Maybe the mintages were lower.
Quote from: 'Mister T' pid='106841' dateline='1489810439'Never really worked out why but any New Zealand coin from the 2000s is less common in change. Maybe the mintages were lower.
Not according to my information. The real reason we don't get many is because they were withdrawn before they had a chance to migrate to Australia, and a lot of people decided to hoard them rather than spend them over here. :)
Just sussed numista and it looks like a lot are mint set only coins so that might explain why a little and also like Herc said and they were hoarded when they changed the size.
Down the bottom of page 3 are the 20 cents and onto page 4 https://en.numista.com/catalogue/nouvelle-zelande-3.html
Gee they reduced the size heaps as they went from an 11.31g coin down to 4g, that would save them heaps..and especially when so many coins are mint set only.

I got my information directly from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. Here's the link: www.rbnz.govt.nz/-/media/ReserveBank/Files/Statistics/tables/f4/hf4.xls
Maybe we don't get as many because the kiwi's are to scared to come over now as they don't know when Mr potatohead is likely to sent them home for no reason :shock:
I have plenty of good, circulated NZ 20¢ of all (circulation) years if anyone is short of a full set. Give me a cooee if you want some.
This is one less now swimming in the pond -landed it this morning.

Found my first 50 years of decimal currency $1 last night.
Unfortunately, it looks like the mob of Roos has has a slight run in with a grinder...

I have looked but cannot find a definition of "Noodling" other than hand catching flathead catfish in USA.
Can some one give me a definition or is there a definition somewhere I can look up.

I went on another $1 noodle last night, but still didn't get any Changeover ones. However, I did find a Centenary of Australian Coinage dollar, which almost made up for it. :)
Quote from: 'humpybong' pid='107451' dateline='1491308687'Can some one give me a definition or is there a definition somewhere I can look up.
From the Macquarie Dictionary:
Noodle (3): 1. to search carefully for opal through a bucket of dirt sent up to the surface. 2. to sift dumps or mullock heaps searching for opal missed by the miner.
We use the same definition, except we apply it to coins and banknotes rather than opal. :ok:
A couple of different cuds:
2013 50c - unusual shaped cud under Queen's chin.

Gee a flavour saver and a goatie! Lizzie sure is a trend setter! Great pics Pedro!
I'm looking forward to seeing what the cuds look like on Charlie, although I'm not particularly rapped in seeing him on my coins. I wish they'd hurry up and use the Jody Clark portrait before Lizzie dies. :winkextra:
Hi, We noodled out 39 x 1972 x 5 cents. Came amongst others in Bank reusable bags. Perhaps somebody cashed out what they didn't want. regards ErikP[attachment=3646]
Wow. That is an impressive haul Erik! :ok:
Pedro
Thanks Pedro, yes a pleasant surprise. Most appear to have been wild but 1/2 dozen unmarked. Can't see us bothering with 5c noodling for a while..... Regards ErikP
That would seriously stuff up my stats, but I'm very pleased for you. I'm going to keep noodling the 5c because I'm trying get the Changeover one, but it looks like I'll have to be content with the ones I purchased directly from the mint. :good:
Extraordinary result Erik!!! I'm with Pedro ..... simply WOW! :good:
Hi, Thanks for the thumbs up. 400 coins ($20 worth) means 72s are 9.8% of wild 5c??? Not that hard to find. For stats, Rightly so ignore. There were also quite a few nice about uncirculated 70's era 5c amongst them Regards ErikP
I just had a very successful night noodling. This is what I found:
My 10th 1994 Year of the Family 50c with Wide Date
My 8th 2004 Standard 20c with Large Head / Pointy A (including the one I found several years ago in someone else's change)
My 2nd 1985 Standard 10c
My 1st 2016 Changeover 5c
Unfortunately, the 1985 10c was rather dirty, but considering that it took me over a year of regular noodling to find another one, I almost went into cardiac arrest. The same occurred when I found the Changeover 5c, but at least I was half expecting to find one, so I got over the initial shock much quicker.
:wavemulticolor:
Some good stuff there Hercules. 8 pointy As is very impressive!

Thanks, Pedro. I reckon they sent most of the Pointy As to Brisbane.

Hi Herc, beat us on this 10c we have never noodled 1985, cheers ErikP
I think I have only found 1 1985 10c.
Although I look through less 10c than other denominations, I still expected to find more of them by now.
I don't get 10¢ specifically for noodling but just put any I get in change into a container (5¢ similar). When the container is full I noodle them and cash in all the rejects.
I have three 1985 so far.
[And four 1972 5¢.]
P.S. I have never found a 2011 10¢. Anyone up for a swap for a 1985?
Hi Erik and Ozcoins,
Please don't feel bad about it. I've never found a 1985 10c in change, and I had to noodle $480 worth of 10c coins in order to find one. In order to find the second one, I had to noodle another $768 worth of 10c coins, which means I've only found two 1985s from $1248 worth of 10c coins. That's a pretty low return if you ask me, and none of them are in very good condition.
Hi Jeff,
You're doing much better than me with the 1985 10c. As mentioned above, I've never found one in change, and I've only been able to noodle two of them so far. As for the 1972 5c, I've only ever found one in change, but I've noodled another five since then. I've also got twelve 2011 10c, all of which were from noodling, but I don't really want to swap with you because I feel as if I'd be short-changing you. A 1985 10c is worth much more to me than a 2011 10c, and if I were you, I'd be holding on to them with an iron grip. :laugh2:

jeff , I think I have one 2011x 10c some where here , if I can find it , its yours. I remember last year I spoke about a 2012 x 10c on the forum and was reminded it was a 2011 that was scarce not the 2012 x 10 c , I will have a good look this week .before I go to bribie and let you know . ,, kel ,,
Keldaw, I can't believe you'd send him the only one you have. I don't mind sending him a few of my 2011s. I just feel uncomfortable taking one of his 1985s in return. :winkextra:
Kel,
If you only have one don't send it. You should keep at least one of every year for yourself.
Jeff
Jeff , has done me a lot of favors over the years , and I don't mind repaying him this way , but if he gets one from some where else that's good , but I would not like to see him go without a coin that he does not have , so if he gets one ok , but he will never go without anything that he wants and I have . this also goes for any body else that has helped me out on the forum since I have been a member .
as long as you don't ask for one of my mules .

Last week I promised Uni I I would post a picture of a filled die $1. Could not do as internet was not available until last night.
I have just realised I probably phrased my promise poorly -it is not another 1999, as I appeared to be implying, but a completely different year. Poor condition coin but good fill.

I think I have some die fills posted in my gallery.
Cool Jeff! :good: That makes obverse fills for consecutive years 1984, 85 & 86. You filled the gap so to speak!
Indeed you do. I just had a look and some of yours shame my little fill.
The best thing Jeff was that you've found an 85! 1985 had some pretty hard to find errors with the rabbit ears and the 3rd roo tail to 2nd roo cud.
Jeff / Goldie, which of your (Goldie's) galleries are they in?
I actually found a 1985 today in the range of EF to aUNC -no errors though.
Also a 1997 "Smithie" easily UNC with beautiful golden/bronze (and quite even) toning.
I found a 2006 50th Anniversary of Television $1 last night, with a 'C' mintmark. It was in almost perfect condition, so I must be one of the first people to lay eyes on it after it was spent. :biggrin:
Some good finds there guys :ok:

Been a while since I had a noodle so I thought it was time to get in there again.
Picked up a 2010 rotated 50c (still in pretty good nick and probably the best I have), a 2016 changeover $1, a 1984 spew roo and a 1997 Kingsford Smith C mintmark $1 - the latter two unfortunately have been around the world and then some. :yahoo:
Here are a few other newbies:
1999 $1 strike through (either that or someone forgot to apply the full date)
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/1999__1_date_struck_through.jpg)
2014 ANZAC $1 - either somebody has been torturing the Queen or she is going for the Hannibal Lechter look.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/2014__1_ANZAC_cuds_in_Queen_s_mouth___on_cheek.jpg)
Also on the same coin:
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/2014_ANZAC_cud_under_Queen_s_bust_Pt_2.jpg)
2016 50c - loop at the bottom of the Queen's bust. Don't know what to make of this one - whether it has been struck through wire or something or just PMD.

Great stuff Pedro!!!! :good: Gee it's been a long time since I've found a 2010 rotated. Similarly to yourself I haven't done much noodling of late. (Money can buy time and time can make money ..... and when you've got neither, you're just about buggered).
QuoteGee it's been a long time since I've found a 2010 rotated.
Me too.
Well done.
I did a $100 bag of 20¢ coins this morning and picked up four different Centenary of Federation and four Bradmans. That is a better than usual strike rate.
Gee that is good for a $100 bag Jeff!!
Nice work Jeff!
Pedro
Of course, when I did the same amount last night the 'haul' was one CoF, one UN Anniversary and an EF 1981.

Is the straight line inboard and between the 1 and 9 just my imagination, or something that shouldn't be there? Love the Hannibal Liz look Pedro ;)
There are some scratches otherwise nothing else I can see AC.

Excellent discoveries! Both of these would really make my day if I were to find them up here. Does anyone know what the frequency of the 2010 rotated 50c is outside of NSW? I'd love to know what my odds are of finding one. :)
I have found a total of nine rotated 2010 $0.50 pieces in my time. Total $0.50 noddled is 528,670 coins since 12 Dec 2012 to date.
I only have four left in my collection.
No wonder I haven't found one yet! I've only done 8199 so far, which is about 1/64 as many as you, or 1.55%. Do you noodle all denominations, or only some of them?
I haven't noodled any coins since December 2016 as I really hate searching/noodling rolled coin.
I have noodled $2, $1, $0.50 and $0.20 coins in my time.
I do look at every coin that comes into my hands though.
I'm in Victoria. For the same timeframe as Goldseeker (i.e. December 2012) I have searched through 325960 50c coins and found 6 x rotated 2010 50c coins. The strike rate this year has been much higher I have found 3 in 67780 coins.
I also search through all other denominations. I like silver coloured coins more and spend more on them (also get more coins to search for less money).
Latest variant on a 2015 $1 MOR.

Sorry Uni, yes it the first roo.
Pedro
Very unusual place for a cud eh! I think that's a first Pedro!!!!
Yep, I haven't seen anything in that spot on a 2015 $1 before.
For that matter, I'm not sure if I can remember cuds there on any other years either - they usually sit on the top of the back rather than being internal.
Pedro
Found this while noodling that night. Just wanted to get opinions on this. I haven't seen one of these in my limited experience, but does anyone have any insight regarding how these coins turn out like that? They seem to have a triple rim going. Thanks!
p.s. apologies for the humongous images!

Have you checked the edge to see whether or not it's a collar error?
A partial collar might explain why it appears as it does. I have 5c collar errors for all years 2000-2008 (except 2007) and they all appear to have extra rims. It seems to have been pretty common during those years as I have multiples for some years.
This is a 2005 one as an example of what to look for.

Thanks for getting back Nevol! Nope the milling at the side is as per normal. Not affected at all, so I doubt it's a partial collar. I've got a 2000 partial collar and compared it. Doesn't seem quite the same haha.
Oh well, I guess you'll just have to put it down as an off centre strike.
That's the only other thing I can think of that might have caused it, unless someone else can come up with another idea.
A couple of cuds in places I haven't seen before (at least on those years)
2010 50c - long cud on RHS of the emu's neck

I have one each similar on 2004 & 2009, but still very different.
Never seen a cud on the 5 like that one.
Good finds!:yahoo:
I thought I had another year where there was a long cud on the emu's neck Nancy but can't seem to find it in my list :dash1:
Here's another first find - 2016 50c with cud in reeds next to the emu as well as cuds in the plumage of the emu.

Got three rolls of 20c pieces to look through (as well as some other stuff I haven't looked at) - two of the rolls had a 2004 big head each. I felt like I was overdue but I wasn't expecting that.
Nice finds Mister T!
I did a bit of noodling and found my first "2017 lest we forget $2" as well as a blue olympic $2
Top work Pedro, I don't think I've found any of those! :good:
Two from three rolls is pretty good going Mr T!!!
Armaguard's been very good to me with the large heads, so I can't say I'm terribly surprised. I got two big heads from 12 rolls once, but two from three rolls is even better. Keep up the good work, everyone! :good:
I did seven rolls of 50c pieces today - I got a New South Wales and a Victoria Centenary of Federation but no Milleniums.
And no 2017s?

With nearly 17 million of the Millennium coins minted one would think that they would be quite a common coin to find in your change or noodling.
I rarely see these in my change :angel:
It's not a matter of how many were made. It's a matter of how many other coins they have to compete with for a space in your wallet. Between 1969 and 2015, there were 960 million 50c coins released into circulation. Thus, the millennium coins make up only 1.77% of all circulating 50c coins, or about 1 in 56. Hence, if you only receive one 50c coin every time you go to the shops, you'll have to make (on average) more than 50 trips to get a millennium coin. The odds are even lower once you add the 2016 and 2017 coins into the mix. :ok:
Quote from: 'Hercules' pid='109813' dateline='1498990961'And no 2017s?

Yeah normally I'd get a couple from that many 50c pieces.
Almost forgot that I found a Tongan 50 seniti too - first time I've found a foreign 50c that isn't Fijian.
Gee that's not a common find Mr T! :good: Haven't come across one of them yet.

A family member found a 2017 Lest We Forget $2 in change. Pretty unexpected.
Were they based in Brisbane? All the reported discoveries I've seen of this coin so far have come from Victoria.
Hmm I got this a while back and have been meaning to ask, but what do you guys think. Is this a die fill? 'E', 'A' and 'H' of ELIZABETH seems to be 'missing' apart from a faint imprint. It'll be pretty cool if it is, given it's low mintage. It's a 2011 $2 by the way.

Sorry, Jeff. I already beat Kel to that one. Another family member also found one, so I think there are quite a few around. I'm going to resume noodling in the next few weeks, once I've recovered from the massive bill I got for Commonwealth Games tickets. ;)

The problem with high resolution scans is they pick up every tiny scratch and don't show any lustre -usually the coin does look much better 'in the hand'.

Do you have any idea why the value of these coins fluctuates so much? There's one person on eBay selling an MS62 example for $1750, while there's another person on eBay selling an MS68 example for $155. Which of these is closer to its current market value?
Herc, if the MS68 you're referring to is this one ...
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/222558081442 (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/222558081442)
it's because it's a standard relief flag, not the incuse flag.
Thanks, Uni. It probably is. I was tempted to buy it because it looked like a bargain, but if it's just a relief flag, I won't bother. :good:
I'd reckon Herc ..... you would have had to beat me to it. :laugh2: I'd hit the kids up for a loan at that price!

I think you will find that the MS68 coin in NOT an incused coin But a standard issue one :ok:
I actually found the tab open in my browser before, and the $155 coin definitely had a relief flag on it. I knew it was risky asking Uni for advice when he could easily buy the coin before me, but with an apparent 10x difference in price for the same coin, I knew I was missing something. I'm just glad it was me misreading the information rather than something trying to rip us off. I suppose that's what you get when you do an eBay search for just "millennium" and "flag". :laugh2:
A couple of 2016 50c variants:

Die degradation or PMD?

Great pics Pedro! :good: I'm wondering if the top of the T might be a lamination flaw?
Thanks Uni.
Not sure about the lamination.
Looking further there is a similar hollow/trench across the top of the B (just like T) but without any spikes. All of the letters seem to have lost their tops due to a light strike.
Would be an unusual lamination to only affect the tops of the letters and not run across them? That's why my suspicion was leaning towards die degradation.

Just went through six rolls of 5c pieces - nothing interesting (not even a New Zealander) but it looks like the 2016 5c pieces are starting to become common now (the plain ones anyway).

I look at some 5c pieces most weeks and have still only seen four of them.
I've just had one hell of a noodle fest. This is what I found today:
50c Coins
1985 CoA
1988 First Fleet
1993 CoA
2001 CoF - Northern Territory
$1 Coins
2001 CoF - Rotated by 180°
2009 Australian Citizenship - C
2014 MoR
2015 ANZAC
No prizes for guessing which is my favourite. :yahoo:
Pretty good haul - how many did you look through for those finds?
The usual - 12 rolls of each. This equates to $120 worth of 50c coins and $240 worth of $1 coins. ;)
Fantastic results with that noodle Hercules :good:

I picked up a 1985 CoA 50¢, and a 1993 too, yesterday.

It depends on how you look at it. If you only look at what I noodled yesterday, then my haul was certainly better than yours. However, if you include all the coins I noodled over the last 18 months, then my strike rate probably isn't any better.
It may be of interest that the last time I noodled a 1985 50c was in June 2016, the last time I noodled a 2015 ANZAC $1 was in September 2016, and the last time I noodled a rotated 2001 CoF $1 was in May 2016. That's a very long time between drinks!
It's been a long time since I found a rotated 2001 or a 1985 50c.
I did however, find a 1972 5c last night.
I was happy with that.

Yes I could go for rolled coins but I hate the rolls. I just love loose coins.
I have 38 of the required 72 coins in a spare DANSCO supreme album.
I have been lucky and found another 1972 5c.

It's too early, Ozcoins. It takes about a week for coins released at Woollies to appear in bags at the bank, and about a month for them to appear in rolls. My advice is to visit your local laundromat, because that's where most of them will end up first.
This is how the cycle works:
Mint -> Woollies -> Laundromat -> Bank Bags -> Armaguard Rolls -> Shops -> Laundromat -> ...
Thanks uni and herc.

Here's what appears to be a bubble on a 2015 50c. The coin has some of the frosting-like affect on the reverse that is not uncommon on the year's 50c.
I'm not convinced it isn't PMD - the circle appears to be almost perfectly round. Unfortunately I can't get a better angle to determine whether it is raised or not. The bubble does appear to sit over the top of part of the frosting attached to the reed edge. Ideas?

AJ has found quite a few bubbles on various 50c and 20c pieces over the years but I don't recall one on a 2015. I think Nancy may have found one in the reeds near the kangaroo but that was on a 2014 and was closer to the kangaroo's back if I remember correctly.
I'm sure AJ will tell me if he's found one on a 2015 and it's my memory that has gone down the toilet ;)
Pedro
dawn got me a 1994 rabbit ears today from the shops
Good work Kel, I'm glad Dawn has bought you some noodling luck! :good:
Pedro, that's an interesting one, in the second photo it looks to be raised, which would discount PMD. We'll have to find a twin for it! :good:

That thought had crossed my mind too Uni but trying to dig out my frosted 2015s (that are spread far and wide) will take a little while. :-/
:ok: Nice work with the rabbit ears Kel - they are always fun to catch.
Pedro
QuoteI think Nancy may have found one in the reeds near the kangaroo but that was on a 2014 and was closer to the kangaroo's back if I remember correctly.
That's correct, but you have a better memory of it than me. I had to check. :angel:
I also have a bubble in the reeds sort of behind the emu on a 2012 coin.
I've found bubbles on the 2010 20c, 2012 50c and the 2014 50c. :)
The 2014 50c had a few bubbles:
1. In the reeds to the right of the emu's neck
2. Between the emu's legs and on the top left hand corner of the shield. I think there may be a variety where the bubble between the emu's legs is present but the shield one is not. Just can't track down an example of the latter at present.
3. In the reeds to the left of the kangaroo's rump (Nancy's) - this one seems to be very scarce.
Pedro
Assuming my records are correct I do seem to have a couple of examples where the emu leg bubble exists but the shield bubble does not.

I think that's the one that I found. I saw a picture of it on this forum, and once I knew what to look for, I managed to find two of my own examples - one from noodling and one from change. I think the one from change was an extremely lucky find, because these coins are very scarce.
I just noodled a $200 bag of 50¢ and found a 1986. Well worn so must have been in the pond for a while.
Also noted a 2017 that looks like it may have spent most of its short life buried in a compost heap!
On the other hand;
•a 2000 millennium that looks as if it could have just been cracked out of a roll. I keep looking at it and thinking "you should be an incused". :)
•2 x 1993
•a rather decent ram's head
•4 x CoF
•6 x 2016 changeover
•and a few other keepers.
The unpredictability is part of the fun of noodling.
Great work Jeff!
Pedro
Not work when you get a reasonable haul -just pleasure.
That's a great result for a $200 bag Jeff! :good:
Armaguard is being very good to me this week.
Another $200 bag of 50¢ and another 1985 plus seven Centenary of Federation.
:good: Go for the hat-trick Jeff!!!!
The hat trick will have to wait until next week. Only one bank in town and they don't have any 50¢ left that I haven't already sieved.
I have a large batch of $1 coins for the weekend so I might make a start on the trifecta instead;
•2000 $1/10¢ mule
•1966 wavy 2 20¢
•2010 upset 50¢
Fat chance of that!
One can only hope.
I once got two x Mules and one rotated 2010 50c piece within a few days.
So there's hope yet?

About as much as winning the lotto.
Wifey goes to the pokies over the weekend and comes home with a 2001 COF rotated/upset coin that I have measured at 276 degrees. Very nice.
You obviously have her well trained Goldie. She deserves a reward.
Very good Wifey. Well done to her!. :wavemulticolor:

How is your Minute Clock going?
It's still going but rather slow as I have not been noodling much since late 2016.
To do the minute clockface I need a total of 72 coins which includes the half hour position of the minute hand.
To date I have 38 of the required coins and every coin that comes through our hands, I have a look at especially the 2001 COF coins.
I have set up a special DANSCO Supreme albums with all the degrees required visible through the holes in the pages. Easy to put them in and c=keep control of.
If and when I ever to get to complete the product, it is going to be one large clear, lazer cut sheet of Perspex to hold the coins and put up on display as per the smaller hourly clockface that we both have.
You're doing well, Goldie. I only have 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock and 8 o'clock, and another family member has 9 o'clock, which means we still have a long way to go to beat your record. :good:
Haven't seen this degree of doubling on the reverse of a 2013 $1 before.

Nice find by your wife Goldie!
I have not found a rotated $1 for a long time now - I think they are mostly gone from the pond.
Super doubling!
My lucky day yesterday. I went to the bank to pick up some coinsafe bags and the teller at the next station asked me if I wanted some 50¢. They were deposited by the man she was still serving. Chap I know who lives just down the road from me.
The coins were ones accumulated by his elderly mother. I walked out with $400 to noodle.
The newest coin in this lot was a 1997.
I now have a pile of 1994 Year of Family and 1992 Commonwealth games in EF to UNC condition as well as a few other commemoratives. Also some similar Coat of Arms including two 1985 and a 1993 as well as a 1992. And eight good double bars. I was hoping for a few ramsheads and tall ships but none of those.
That's my kind of noodling. :yahoo:
That's a God-send noodle Jeff!!! :good: Top stuff!
You're very fortunate to be known and liked by the tellers!
Afterthought:
Do you have an accurate set of scales? (ie: to 00:00g)
If so and you have the time could you weigh the 1994's?
I've got a light one, (to the point you can feel it), but there does seem to be a lot of variance to the "correct weight" with the 1994s.
The ring test on the light one is excellent, but more to come once I've done my research.
Oh, many wide dates?
Perhaps over the weekend -busy day today. Normal (narrow) date or wide date?
I do have quite a number of each now.
QuoteYou're very fortunate to be known and liked by the tellers!
I buy them a box of chocolates when I get an extra good find from their coins and a box of chocolates at Christmas. I am sure that helps.
Interesting that all the staff at our local CBA are women.
There's certainly no rush .... just curious .... I've had it for ages now and have slowly been accumulating weight stats (just for you Herc).
(I seem to take forever to get stuff sorted lately ..... 2 many things on the 2 do list).
Chocs sound like a good plan!!!
Yes all my local CBA's staff are women too ..... there was one elderly gent a while back but he had a lot in common with teats on a bull.
Great haul Jeff!:ok:
Pedro
Hi Uni,
Had time after all. A job I had booked for 2pm that I expected to take 1½-2 hours took literally only a few minutes. Took me longer to drive halfway across (a very small) town than it to find and fix the problem. A guest had unplugged the masthead amplifier to plug in their phone charger and didn't plug it back in!
I measured three batches of five coins each of narrow and wide date and calculated mean mass. Then I measured each coin, from the lightest and heaviest batches, and also calculated mean.
Results are;
Narrow date. Batch totals (means) 77.25g (15.45g), 77.57g (15.51g), 77.51g (15.50g).
Individual coins ranged from 15.18 to 15.57g measured (mean of ten 15.47g).
Overall mean 15.49g.
Wide date. Batch totals (means) 77.39g (15.48g), 77.62g (15.52g), 77.59g (15.52g).
Individual coins ranged from 15.26 to 15.66g measured (mean of ten 15.50g).
Overall mean 15.51g.
Very little variance -I would think within planchet specifications.
The scale shows from 99.98 to 100.02g when calibrated with 100g test weight. Readings can vary by ±0.02g over a period (just when you think it has settled it will shift the last digit). So I would put accuracy of measurements as within ±0.05g. That is only ⅓% of the nominal mass of a 50¢ coins so these results should be fairly trustworthy. :grin:
Thanks heaps for doing that for me Jeff!
What does your light one weigh in at Uni?
Do you have vernier calipers or a micrometer? I would be interested to know what the thickness is. Or lay it flat with a normal coin either side and squint at it from the edge -the eye is quite good at picking small differences in level. You eyes should be good enough; at least they are probably as good as they ever will be after your previous drama!
Most copper based coin alloys are very similar density and I wonder if it is on a planchet intended for a similar sized, but thinner, coin.
I dug it out and weighed it again (had forgotten what it was) and it's 15.19 so one of yours is even lighter. Bugga. The lowest other one I had recorded was 15.30 with a high of 15.66 oh well, nothing too special though I do still like the different ring to it.
hi i've only recently started looking at coins but came across a 1978 20c coin that has no visible sd mark. Is that common?
Firstly Ian (I presume), :welcome: to the forum.
I will kick this off with what I know and see what others think.
•Not mentioned in Renniks or Maccas so unlikely to be a recognised variety. I have no recollection of a "no SD" being mentioned previously.
•I just checked twelve of these (high grade noodling finds) and found two without a discernible SD. Some others had very faint SD or part missing.
So probably not that uncommon.
It could be a die fill (http://www.numismatics.com.au/Blog/Understanding_Strike). Any chance of a photo?

Thanks Jeff, sorry i haven't been able to work out the attachment thing yet.
Go to to top of a page and click on Gallery (https://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/) . That's the easiest way to get a picture here and the forum linking code is available from the picture listing in the gallery.
When I saw this one I thought it was die damage but when I put it under the 'scope it looks more like a planchet flaw.
2004 $1.

Thanks so much!
To me, it looks like obvious PMD.
Just finished a noodle of $160 of 10¢;
- One very poor 1985
- Not one 2011
- One 2016 changeover
- A few aUNC to UNC but none in early years and none post 2008.
- Seven New Zealand 10¢ and one British 10p
Move along please; nothing to see here.
:( Time for a new denomination Jeff.

Hi Pedro,
I might try Pastafarianism (https://pastafarians.org.au/). Sounds like my kind of denomination.
Instead I settled for $200 of20¢ and 4400 of 50¢ that I picked up at the bank today after cashing in all my noodling rejects.. (https://pastafarians.org.au/)
Looks to show some promise Jeff :laugh2:
Pedro
I think you are right Pedro....a change (of denomination) is as good as a holiday. So far my holiday treats are an incused millennium and an upset 2010 50¢. :d_sunny:
Well done Jeff - that new denomination is working already :laugh2:

Not as fruitful as other 50c noodling efforts. The strange thing I got (and I wish I knew this before I opened it), is one of the rolls was 20 pieces of 2006 COA all look uncirculated. Too late now as the roll is all open.

Never mind. Just put them in 2x2s and sell them individually.
Good idea Hercules. Kept one for my album as the one I had, had a few scratches. Will look at selling the other 19.
From $350 of 50¢ I found seven x Centenary of Federation, two x 1993, a 1985 as well as a similar number of assorted at aUNC.
Nice finds Jeff :ok:

Top effort Jeff!!!! ::good: I can't recall the last time I noodled a 1985 50c.
Of course I never report unproductive noodling sessions where I find next to nothing. That would make this a rather boring thread.

I don't know how everyone else can find bubbles and I have only found a couple. Maybe it is time to have my eyes tested again.

Today is my first day of taking up noodling seriously since I stopped in December 2016.
I have $1,000 x $1's, $600 x 50c's, $400 x 20c's, that is correct, $2,000 in total for:
2000 COF Upset at 258 degrees: (See below):
(https://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/135/2018-01-24_16-43-40_0407.jpg)(https://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/135/2018-01-24_16-44-39_0408.jpg)
and 1 x 1993 COA $0.50c piece.
Not bad for a first day's return noodling and I still have the 20c pieces to examine.
Top job Goldie ..... Gee that rotated looks in great condition! :good:
Yes is does look good for a coin that has been circulating for just over 17 years.
I was more surprised at the angle of rotation rather than anything else.
Completed the coins I got yesterday today and this was the only error coin amongst them all:
1974 $0.20c Obv Flaking Planchet: (Scan of Obv and closeup of fault):
(https://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/134/2018-01-25_16-02-06_0409.jpg)(https://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/134/2018-01-25_16-02-56_0410.jpg)
2008 Coat of Arms $1 "C".
2008 Year of the Rat $1.
I went through some 50c pieces - got a CoF Victoria, 3 x 1970 and 3 x 1988.
Not much else.
Pre-noodled coins?
More a case of noodling non finds today.
Just went through a stack of 50¢ coins and one bundle of five bags ($50) was exclusively normal Coat of Arms reverse. All up there was 7% of commemoratives in all the coins -normally would see more than 35% commemoratives. Did find two 2007 with good worn die doubling but too battered to be worth keeping.
So total haul zilch!
Normally I would never post about not so good noodling sessions but this one was exceptional.
Too bad - I don't have that suspicion often but it's really off-putting when it does happen.
I suppose it's a like more likely with 50c pieces anyway.
Well a little unexpected - I got a nice 1995 $20 note from the change machine. It wasn't uncirculated (it had a few creases) but I could still feel the intaglio.
That's a new word to me -I love discovering new words. Had to look it up.
Intaglio is to printing as incused is to coinage; or thereabouts.
I noodled 1,500 x$1 coins today and this one turned up:

(https://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/160/Spew_ears.jpg)
And from the same $500 bag I finally found a 2008 with a blob on the 1 and no double tail. That means I now have all the combinations know of the three cuds for that year! :yahoo:
(https://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/160/Blob_on_1.jpg)
Nice Jeff. The 2010 has both cuds very well formed :ok:

Hey Jeff, I could send you a few if you'd like.
Thanks for the offer Goldie but I already have one now.
Today an NCLT $1.00. 2001 Centenary of the Army mint your own (C mark).
$400 of 50¢ yielded a 1985, three ramsheads, ten Centenary of Federation (seven different states and territories) and a few others not worth specific mention.
I thought that a good result.
Nice one Jeff! I'd be very happy with that result! :good:
Nice result, Jeff. :)
Went through 1500 x $1 coins yesterday and this one popped up:

The above is the first cold shut I have found in a very long time.
I also found a very tiny 2009 Rabbit Ear.
I just opened a $500 bag of dollars I picked up this afternoon from the local bank -all inside in ziplock bags in $100 bundles; bet Armaguard hates that, but they send them back that way often.
I still had a scale on my desk from checking the ones I returned so I checked the weights -not sure why as I normally wouldn't bother. One bag was 4g overweight so I opened it first. It had 16 x $1 and 6 x $2 coins , including a rather nice Olympic $2.
That is a nice change from the usual ring ins; early NZ, Fiji (and other Pacific Ocean countries), Euro, Philippines and Britain. Somebody must have been in a big rush to get away from work that day!
(https://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/160/May_18_upset.jpg)
This is from the same lot I mentioned with some $2 in. I found another $20 bag with $2 coins but didn't pick it up from weighing -17x$1+4x$2=correct weight (within a fraction of a gram).
You're on a roll Jeff! :good:
Michael had a great afternoon noodling $2 coins.
From a $2000 bag this is what he kept:
2011 Elder x 2
2017 Lest We Forget x 7
2017 Remembrance x 1
Possum Magic Red x 2
Possum Magic purple x 2
Commonwealth Games week 1 x 3
Commonwealth Games week 2 x 1
2013 purple Coronation x 1
changeover x 1
2015 Orange Remembrance x 1
2014 Green Remembrance x 1
Blue Olympic x1
Black Olympic x 1
Yellow Olympic x 1
Para Olympic x 1
Just so happy didn't have the usual 5c coins
Gee, I have never found anywhere that number of the coloured ones. That's a great result.
Excellent finds Jeff and Jen/Michael! :ok:
Pedro
I think I will go to the same banks as jens coins do and stop there hauling.
Regardless, nice one all of you.
I am still a long way from making a "clock". In fact most of these are not a good march for the hour positions -would be better suited to Goldies proposed sixty coin minutes positions set.

It is a pendulum clock delivering an electric pulse per second and has an electromagnet to pulse the bobweight and keep it swinging.
Not a bad start anyway.
:i_agree: Going well Jeff!

Well my Hilux is rated to carry a tonne and, if I take the trailer I can also get the other ones as well. I thought a nice trip away, do some sightseeing and come back with noodling stock to last me for months and months.
A couple of small problems to sort out first;
•Google maps says "Sorry, we could not calculate directions from '
Gulgong, New South Wales 2852 (https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Gulgong+NSW+2852/Auckland,+New+Zealand/@-34.2685005,153.1523157,5z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x6b0e9472ba5866cb:0x40609b490436330!2m2!1d149.533333!2d-32.35!1m5!1m1!1s0x6d0d47fb5a9ce6fb:0x500ef6143a29917!2m2!1d174.7633315!2d-36.8484597)" to '

Looks to be a big ditch in the way!#
•And my bank manager won't give me an overdraft to make the purchase -my account is many thousands of dollars short at present but I expect a payment of nearly $2,000 early next month -oh! still not enough. She thought it was the funniest thing she had heard for a long while.*
Probably a good thing really that I already have a full set of New Zealand pennies and halves. :grin:
#I have found a tutorial on how to circumvent that problem...NOT (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dsp_Aulp8Y)
*That conversation did not take place at the bank and was strictly not an official enquiry. With that quantity I assured her there would almost certainly be some rare and valuable ones and a big profit to be made so I would pay down the overdraft very quickly. She said something about "building developer mentality" but was giggling too much for me to catch the exact words. [Small town and most people know most other people and frequently socialise.]
Reasonably lean pickings of late (or I'm getting fussier and/or noodling frequency has declined).
Haven't seen one of these before - 2011 $1 MOR with a missing leg on the 3rd kangaroo.

I've come across one of those last year as well. Not as common as the 2015 ones, but I've unfortunately let it go already. Should have hung on to it haha.
In other news, I've managed to find a rotated 2010 50 Cents, rotated 1996 Sir Henry Parkes $1, partial collar 1999 10 Cents and I think a partial collar 2000s era 5 Cents. Might have been 2008. Been quite a good run so far this year though I'm still waiting for a rotated 2001 $1 cof.
Also just last week, I found a 2008 20 Cent piece that seems to have been plated with copper or something. I'll try to get photos up when I find the time.
Those are some great finds rollycoins!
Well done!
Excellent work rolly! :ok:
Pedro
When I am noodling 20¢, 50¢ or $1 coins I start with a quick sort to separate commemoratives and normal coins. If I notice any that look extra good they get put aside and any really bad ones go into my change/reject bin for making up numbers when I return them to the bank to swap for something else.
Well I have just done an initial sort on $100 of 20¢, in $10 bags. I presume most of these have been packed at the branch from coins cashed in.
This would have to be the most disgusting lot of coins I have ever received! here are the rejects;
(https://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/160/DSCF3015.JPG)
And here are my "tails up" piles. Many in the platypus piles aren't much better than the rejects but, still, a few coins worth a second look -I presume they might have come from the cash drawer to make up the numbers. Several hand washes were involved in that sort.
(https://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/160/DSCF3011.JPG)
I think you need a Hazmat suit for that lot Jeff :shock:

Literally so in some instances. I don't like to think where they might have been -I have touched every one of them!
Finally got around to taking a picture of the mule Michael noodled a couple of weeks ago.
Thanks for the pic Jen, it's a great find. Better centring than most too!

Kel, I try and keep track of the various rabbit ear varieties and the double rabbit ears like that I've only seen on 2010 and 2016 MORs. Your coin still looked quite shiny so I thought it was probably a 2016.

Good answer Pedro , I could not figure out how you knew that , I thought you knew magic, ha ha ha

Went through $100 of 50¢ coins last night to find a 1985. Rather scarce year and seem to be getting scarcer.
That's good from $100 Jeff. :good:
To put it into perspective I have looked through around $2000 worth since I found the last 1985 50¢.
Still a good find Jeff! :ok:
Pedro
Has anyone else noticed the die crack on the 2017 $1?
On the reverse, it goes down to the right from the base of the 1
I have several progression stages of it so far and will pop up some pics in a thread ..... hopefully over the weekend.
Not as yet Uni but I haven't seen too many of them (looking more for rabbit ears anyway).
Pedro
A spew roo is always good to find and worth keeping.
(https://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/160/Spew_rev.jpg)
However this one might just go back in the pond!

I hate that, you find a decent error but the coins condition is crap.
A South Africa 5 rand in a $100 bag of 20¢. There is no way you could mistake that for a 20¢.

I do have that one already, but thank you for the offer.
Nice find by the way. :)
Just done $400 of 50¢ which contained two each of 1985 and 1993!
Great work Jeff! :good: They are getting so hard to find now, 85s especially.

Have seen a few 2017s of late Uni but no die cracks so far.
Pedro
I'll have to get mine sorted out and take some snaps Pedro.
There's also die cracks on some of the 2018s on the bottom left of the Queen's bust.
Will snap the progressions of them too once I'm done sorting.
After more than six months without a noodle it was time to get back in there. Even resorted to noodling 5c pieces to fill some gaps in my circulation set - successfully picked up two 2017 & two 2018 5c. Not so fortunate with the 10c.
Filled more holes with the $1s - 2018 MOR & 2018 ANZACs. Found the best examples to date of the 1986 $1 and 2011 CHOGM $1 and also caught a Possum Magic $1.
No 2019 $1s as yet.
Pedro
Top job Pedro! :good:
I haven't noodled for ages either (Fathers Day from memory). Fortunately the $1 2018 bags from the RAM tour let me find the die cracks I was talking about.
(Was a bit sad that there were no rabbit ears, but you get that I suppose!)
Do have an interesting 2018 variety to post about once I get some pics done though.
I went through some 5c, 20c and 50c pieces this morning.
Got a 1972 5c piece and a few 2017s.
Got a Northern Territory and Don Bradman 20c.
Got a 1970, 1988 and a Victoria and Tasmania 50c.
Nothing foreign this time.
Another 1985 50¢. :yahoo:
There can't be many left for you to find Jeff :laugh2:
Pedro
Nevertheless I will still keep looking.
I have been very lucky today!
I found a 1966 "Wavy" 20c!
Its the second one I have found - the last one was in 2012
Well done. Good to know they are still out there.
I found some a few years ago and none since.
Well Done Ozcoins.

A 1966 ''Wavy''. Who said you can't find a needle in a haystack. Seek + you shall find.. :angel:
the one I am wanting to find too ,
over many thousand of .20c searched ,
nothing even close , maybe 10 or 12 standard 1966 .20c coins .
Thanks everyone.
I almost didn't even check it as they are so unlikely to be found.
There is hope yet for those that are still to find one!
Quote from: 'Goldseeker' pid='118051' dateline='1546130562'Congratulations on your find.

Thanks for the congratulations.
With the amount of searching you do, it that surprises me a bit that you have not found one yet.
Is it because you focus more on the $1 coins?
Have you kept any stats on how many 20c you have looked at?
These are 52 years old now and to find a wavy base in 2019 would be a rare event
Found a 2010 upset 50¢ this morning. A bit rough but still a good find.

Congratulations Kel!
Well done!
Another 2010 50¢ upset*.
*The coin, not me -I am not upset at all.
:yahoo: Well done Jeff!
That's pretty darn good Jeff! .... I thought they were getting really hard to find now. :good:
They are hard to find. Two in a few weeks is excellent but a long time since I had found another.
Talking about hard to find...I found a lovely 1991 ramshead 50¢ today -put it in a 2x2, label it "UNC" and nobody would argue.
Small mintage, distinctive design so the sort of coin that people will keep.
Most I find now, not that that is many, are top condition (aUNC or XF). I think very few still in circulation and most circulating now are "keepers" that have been returned to the pond.
Nice find Jeff. :)
I love the Ram's head design.
Ditto.
Pedro
Yes, must admit they are lovely. :good: It's actually the one and only mint roll that I've purchased on ebay some time back. Great design & fields.
When I first started selling coins at the Mudgee market I had a lot of ramsheads. A couple of chaps (Akrubra hats and R M Williams gear from top to toe otherwise) each bought two. Mentioned they had a few merinos.
Next month I had a lot of similarly dressed men buying ramsheads and sold out. Turned out they were all from the Windeyer (http://www.aussietowns.com.au/town/windeyer-nsw) locality, known for superfine wool -very poor looking, hilly and rocky country but apparently those conditions favour fine wool. The wool from there regularly sets world record prices with most going to Italian fabric factories and some to similar in Japan. Probably Paul Keating's Ermenegildo Zegna suits included wool from there.
Speaking of Paul Keating....The collected insults of former PM Paul Keating (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-11-12/the-collected-insults-of-paul-keating/5071412). He does have a way with words. And plenty more to be found if you Google "paul keating insults".
My favourite; To former ALP MP Jim McClelland: "That you Jim? Paul Keating here. Just because you swallowed a fxxxing dictionary when you were about 15 doesn't give you the right to pour a bucket of shit over the rest of us."
An interesting noodling session this morning.
From two $100 bags of 20¢ I have pulled aside;
•15 x 2019 -first 2019 coins of any denomination I have found
•55 x 2018 -having only ever found twelve of them previously
•9 x Centenary of Federation -5 x Northern territory, 2 x Tasmania, a Queensland and a Norfolk island (the one I find least)
•11 x 2016 Decimal anniversary
•3 x Bradman -one is a full brilliance aUNC
•A 1995 UN Anniversary
•A 2008 with a very nice, clear wave gap
•A 2004 bighead/pointy A
•2 x different 2015 WWI Newslimited issues
And of course the usual suspects; some Kiwis and other commemoratives but none good enough to consider keeping
Now to sit down and work out what to keep and what to send back to the pond.
Good work Jeff. :good:
well done Jeff
Nice haul Jeff!
Pedro
Jeff, nice find on the 2004 bighead.
I can't remember the last time I saw one of those.
[attachment=3834][attachment=3835]
over on Bribie island for a weeks holiday , arrives back home today
we went to the bowls club for dinner first night , and in my change I got
an 2019 dollar coin with the S in the square box ,
been doing the rounds for a while I think , not in as new condition
but still a keeper for me now .
Good find Kel.
Considering there is the same amount of each coin going
into circulation, the "S" seems harder to find. Has anyone
else found this to be the case?

I'll have to check but I thought the only one I found was an S.
[attachment=3837][attachment=3838]cant get the right size with the picture .
I have had a reasonable amount of spare "S" and "U"'s but can't find any "A"'s to complete some more sets.
.
Normally I wouldn't mention a poor noodling session but this one is exceptional. Just went through a $100 bag of 20¢ and only six (6) -that is VI- non platypus reverse.
No desirable ones and none worth considering keeping.
Oh well, it is a "swings and roundabouts" game.
(https://interestingliterature.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/swings-and-roundabouts.jpg)
I went through some rolls of 50c pieces. Nothing really - some newish-looking 2015, 2016 and 2017 but that was it really.
I went through some 20c pieces and got a 2019, a 2001 Queensland a 2002 New Zealand.
Some more 50c pieces yielded nothing.
Just did $200 of 50¢ coins for;
•1985
•1993 x 2
•Centenary of Federation x 5
•15 x commemoratives pre 2000 in aUNC and up including an excellent ramshead. Maybe someone has been spending their stash?
Good return from that bag.
That's a great result Jeff! :good:

Nice.
I went through a roll of dollar coins for nothing.
And I checked - the only 2019 privy-marked coin I've got from change was an S.
Just finished going through 5,000 x $1 for the following find. I think it might be a strikethrough on the Reverse. Coin weighs 9 grams. Yes or No on a strikethrough:

2008 SCOUT $1 with obverse rim cud 6 to 7 o'clock.
That is the second I have found.
Just worked through $300 of 20¢ coins for eight Centenary of Federation (six different states) and a UN anniversary. That's reasonable for that quantity.
Most interesting find was a 1948 British florin.
Good finds, Jeff. :)

A 2018 $1 rabbit ears. First I have seen for that year.
Top job Jeff! I've been itching for a noodle to look for one too! I saw a Cotton roll of them for sale the other day apparently all rabbit ears. Saw some unopened mint satchels back last year with at least 1 in it. I had hoped (or hopped) that I'd jag one when I got my satchels but no such luck.
You give me hope! :good:
A couple of finds yesterday:
2005 $1 WWII - have seen cuds in that area before but not of that size.
(https://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/278/2005__1_WWII_cud_above_Queen_s_chin_260319.jpg)
2016 $1 MOR - rabbit ear and backpack cuds together - a first for me.
(https://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10078/402/2016__1_rabbit_ear___backpack_260319.jpg)
Only noticed yesterday that there was a limit on cash withdrawals ($1000) through the coin machine. Mustn't be doing enough noodling!
Pedro
Gee they are both beauts Pedro! :good: What a huge flavour saver.
I'd noticed the pre cud impression on the 2016 before for the backpack, must go through mine to see if I have the progressions. (My memory is horrid lately).
This is my version of the 2005 One. I call it gobsmacked.

Lovely Nevol! :good: Appears to be the same die and it looks uncirculated!
Those 2005 cuds sure look similar Nancy - except mine has been through a few more battles!
Pedro
Well, I did find a 2018 $1 rabbit ear today but I didn't expect the cud to be on the second kangaroo. All the other photos I've seen so far have had the rabbit ear on the top kangaroo.

Top job Pedro!
The one on the first roo must be reasonably common (though I'm yet to find one) as I saw some of the mint bags for sale with rabbit ears on the first quite visible, plus Cotton's have rolls of the first roo rabbit ears ..... (that's a first I think).
Having them on #2 roo instead is great! That's the first one I've seen mentioned anywhere. :good:
Sigh...another one to add to the list of WANTED.
I think Goldie mentioned a second roo, behind the ear, cud sometime but can't recall what date it was.
If I recall correctly he said it was a first for him. If it is a first for him that suggest rather rare.
Quote from: 'Unicorn' pid='118983' dateline='1554179765'Having them on #2 roo instead is great! That's the first one I've seen mentioned anywhere. :good:
The cud is pretty sizeable so you would have to think that it has a few mates out there.

Just starting now on a few hundred dollars of 20¢ and still waiting for a wavy 2 -several years since the last one! [Glass half full but I think it has a leak and level is dropping.]

Another 2010 upset 50¢ yesterday.
That's two of them in as many weeks!
Go for the hat trick Jeff! :good:
Sorry, I won't be here to do that.
Negligible chance of finding one in Fiji. :taunt:
Well done Jeff!

Great work Kel! :good:
That's a great find. I haven't stumbled across one of those from my noodling.
Nice Kel! :ok:

Just completed noodling 1750 x $1 coins for the following as well as another Henry Parkes Upset:
(https://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10120/134/2019-06-28_13-00-07_0248.jpg)
Above is a 2008 coin.
That's a nice lamination Goldie! I can see triple lines and possibly a fourth! :good:
How many Parkes upsets is that now? I think you've cornered the market!
Excellent Goldie! :ok:
Pedro
In regards to the Rotated Parkes coins, I now have found 16 and all tucked away in a safe place.
Just finnished noodling 1000 x $2's and 2000 x $1 coins for the following:
Coloured $2 coins x 8; and
1 x $1 Eureka Stockade "C" Counter stamp
1 x 2001 COF Upset at 290 degrees.
Could have been better.
Don't tell me you're "upset" with that lot Goldie :D
Seems like most of the rotated 1996s and 2001s landed down south!
Pedro
Goldie is doing much better than me.
Last few weeks virtually nothing worth keeping -a reasonable 1991 50¢ and a few CoF 20¢ and 50¢ (but only one in reasonable condition); no scarce years or errors. And the odd older one in better than EF but I have plenty of most years anyway. Oh, and a 2017 Trans Australian Railway 'C' $1 but rather battered.
That is the problem with only one bank branch in town. I think I am getting the same coins over again most of the time!
Been pretty quiet here too.
I'm beginning to think that the RAM has improved their processes as the I have found very few cuds etc on the 2017 50c (struggling to find 2018s) and other than for rabbit ears and spew roos not much happening on $1s either.
Pedro
Maybe the tide has turned. :grin:
From $100 of 20¢ this morning;
•5 x Centenary of Federation, better than average condition
•Filled R Bradman
•2015 in virtually uncirculated condition
•a very nice 2016 changeover.
That's a pretty good result from $100 Jeff! :good:
Noodling's like that. Several weeks of nothing worthwhile and, just as you get disillusioned with it, along comes a good lot to lift your spirits.
That said I did just before check $300 of dollars for a barely noticeable behind the ear cud -had to use my loupe to be sure it wasn't just a speck of dirt!
The filled R Bradman is a nice catch. :yahoo:
IMO they are quite scarce. :wavemulticolor:
$1000 of $1 coins for;
•2019 "A"
•2006 Fifty years of Australian television. 'S' mintmark.
•Upset 1996 Henry Parkes
•2016 Indonesian 1000 Rupiah. {Steve, looks to be uncirculated if any interest.} Only worth 10¢ at present exchange rate!
Nice Jeff!
Managed to pick up a few in Wednesday's noodle:
- 2000 $1 HMAS Sydney "C" mintmark
- 2005 $1 WWII (toned but aUNC)
- 2014 $1 MOR
- 2016 Changeover $1
- 2017 $1 Possum Magic Racing Across Australia
and 2000, 2015 & 2016 rabbit ears. Best return for a while.

Haven't done much lately but I looked through a roll of one dollar coins and found a small rabbit ears. They're really not common at all.
Well done guys! :good: ..... Here's wishing to find some time to do some noodling.
What's going on with all the Parkes rotateds lately ...... they are such a hard coin to find. Goldie x heaps now Jeff!

Well that one is only the second I have found in my years of noodling.
Goldie does have access to many more coins than me which would help his cause.
Found this in the till at work the other day...

Nice find.
But I don't understand the occasion. What were the Aussies before that? Brits?
Precisely. If you were born in Australia prior to 26 January (Australia day), 1949 you were a "British subject". Not logical but that was the thinking from Federation in 1901.
In 1948, the Australian Citizenship Act came into effect. (http://ministers.treasury.gov.au/DisplayDocs.aspx?doc=pressreleases/2009/005.htm&pageID=003&min=njs&Year=&DocType=)
QuoteAnother escapee! Well done Steve. Still in reasonable nick too by looks.

Yes, it's not too bad for a 10 year old coin.
Makes me wonder how long it has been circulating.
A nice find Steve.
$200 of 50¢ today produced six Centenary of Federation (five different). That's better than usual strike rate.

Well done Jeff, they seem a lot scarcer these days.
over the couple of days, I have noodled through 3,000 x $1 coins for nothing and 3,000 x $2 coins for 39 x coloured assorted coins.
Not much to talk/brag about.
The wifey gets all the coloured coins when found.
Another batch of 1,000 x $2 and 1,500 x 41 coins looked at today for the following:
! x 2016 baby Coin "Y" for Yabbie; and
1 x 1996 Sir Henry Parkes Rotation.
Not much one of the poorest gains I have had all time.

If only it was true Pedro.
Went ten pin bowling with wifey this morning as I am her taxi and she runs the finances etc.
I was able to secure the "Curious" 20c piece from last years paper issue.
Happy me is.
Went through another 2,000 x $2 coins today for 17 coloured coins.
As well as 1,500 x $1 coins for absolutely nothing.
$400 of 50¢ coins this morning for;
•10 Centenary of Federation -7 different states. Range from aUNC (2) to Not Worth Keeping (2)
•1985 but well worn
•1993 in reasonable nick
•Quite a good 1991 ramshead.

Geez, they must be bad - I've never found one not worth hanging onto.
Today I got a brand new 2019 dollar with the A and 2 with the S but not any of the U this way yet
From $700 of 50 cents I found:
1 x 1985
1 x 1987 Fiji 50 cent
3 x 1988 Bicentennial
3 x 1991 Ram's Head
2 x 1993
4 x 2000 Royal Visit
7 x 2001 various states
2 x 2014 AIATSIS
5 x 2016 Changeover
1 x 2017 Mabo
Pretty good.
I found a 1990 Fiji 50c not long ago and I'm sure it had been years since I last got one.
This was the first one I've found in circulation
Well done Noel
That's a good haul of several of the scarcer and sought after coins for that amount of noodling.
Top job Noel! :ok:

Thanks everyone, I was surprised at what I found. I think I might be addicted to noodling again after that
Well done Noel!
That is a good haul.

From Numista: The reverse featured the heads of seven new Australian Citizens (each representing an Australian state) from Czechoslovakia, Denmark, France, Greece, Norway, Spain and Yugoslavia who became Australian citizens in the first-ever Australian citizenship ceremony held in Canberra, the nations capital in 1949. Their heads are shown resting in the grooves of the federation star, the star symbolically depicts their raised hands and their new Australian pride is shown on their faces. This central design is surrounded by an Australian map cut into squares for each state.
I learn something new every day. Just a shame that by tomorrow I'll have forgotten it. :angel:
Third CUD found on the same coin, must've been too busy looking at the other two haha. Sorry for the poor photo quality

Yep , and the one near the big roos toes that,s it
Interesting that we have found almost identical coins
would be more than 2 around I would think with cuds like that
that is the question ? where are they hiding .
First rotated "upset" I have found: https://imgur.com/gallery/u7nt3Wt (https://imgur.com/gallery/u7nt3Wt)
Found in a $500 lot, along with a 1998 rabbit ear. Very happy with the find.
Good one and maybe some more later if lucky.
Only another eleven for your upset clock face.
I've heard of people attempting to complete a clockface, does this mean that this error is only found in intervals or 30°?
No you can have all degrees on this rotated coin.
Any more desirable than others?
the 180° seem to be popular
The hardest of all the 2001 COF Upsets to find are those between 140 degrees and 220 degrees of upset.
I have found just 498 COF Upsets and have completed three clock faces.
I am now on the lookout for upsets that are 6 degrees apart to complete a minute by minute clockface.
Talking of which, I found a 2001 COF Upset that I was able measure at 288 degrees of Upset which I needed and it went strait into my minute by minute clockface.
I only need around another 35 coins to complete the project.
That's extremely impressive. You must hold the largest upset collection to date.
You said "minute by minute" are you talking about minutes of a degree or minutes on the clock? If it's minutes of time does that mean you need a total of 60 coins to complete your latest clockface? Sounds tough to find them at exact 6 degree intervals. How many would you need to complete a 360 degree collection or is that something you have not considered yet.
He said "clock face"; not "protractor".
1º degree increments would be virtually impossible to collect all 360. And measuring the offset to that precision would be a task in itself.
That said, being well on the way to a 60 minute clock face is quite impressive. I am still several short of being able to do an hour face.
I do have a few spare to swap if anyone is contemplating the same exercise.
I am in the process of doing a minute by minute, (time) at the moment.
I will be including the half hour positions which means I will need 732 coins with the exact measurement required.
As I said earlier, I am 35 coins short of that goal.
if you have the opportunity to have the book Renniks Australian Pre Decimal and Decimal Coin Errors handy by Ian McConnelly, then my clockface can be viewed on page 125.
Enjoy.
I have seen that image when reading the book before, never took much thought as to who owned them. That's very cool
My son bought home a $1 Armaguard roll yesty, this is the only interesting coin it contained. Fairly similar to another 2010 MoR error coin I already had.
$1 2010 MOR 2 Rev Cuds - R1 Rabbit, R5 Neck C2

Yeah, nice find, wow, finding them infrequently is pretty good. I don't noodle for them but always look in my change without any luck, but did buy a low grade one about twelve years ago.

I had some luck this week too.
I found a 2010 rotated 50c!
I went through 12 rolls of 20c pieces for no keepers (except a Kiwi). There were a few commemoratives.
Just started on a bag of $1 coins and already the P.O. alphabet coins are turning up.

Kel, My son taught me how to use a USB Microscope while I fortunately still had some brain cells that worked. I used it so much in the beginning it somehow embedded itself in my brain.
He recently upgraded my PC and the software for the scope required a change which I now really don't like, but it is what it is. Too many steps involved to get a piccie to where I want it. I only use the program occasionally now, probably about 5% (or less) as often as I used to.

thanks nancy , anyway it is a credit to you , the shots are beautiful.
USB microscopes and Windows 10 are apparently an issue with many people reporting inability to get a microscope to work properly, if at all.
I bought a 5 megapixel one quite some time ago and had no luck at all. The above posts prompted me to dig it out and have another go.
The latest version of MicroCapture Pro (an earlier version came with the 'scope) got it operational and the "shutter" button on the cord even works. DinoCapture 2.0 works too but can only take a shot from the software.
Not so sure that the 1.6 times resolution, expressed as pixels per inch, really give me better picture than my old 2MP unit.
Last couple of weeks' noodling rather unexciting. A small upset Parkes $1, an even smaller upset IYoOP $1 and a few Australia Post Alphabet coins -one of which I did not have so now I am only looking for the last two.

Jeff,there is a free App. on the Windows store that enables most USB Microscopes to work with 10,its listed under webcams from memory,i'm away at the moment but will post its name when i get back.
My main computer stopped all my USB Microscopes working in one of the updates earlier this year(late last?),nothing i downloaded helped but a guy on a Stamp Forum sent me a MS Store link and they are all now working.
My Internet 32bit Win. 10 still works the Microscopes with the original SW,go figure.

I did a google and found it,its simply called 'Camera',i have it on my main 64 bit Win 10 Machine and it works with all my USB Microscopes and i've got 5 or 6 different versions/brands.
I placed a 'Camera' App. shortcut on my desktop,simply plug in Microscope and click on shortcut and all the basic functions are there.

That's bundled with Windows 10. Pretty hopeless app in my opinion. Saves all photos to a common location, runs with my older microscope but will not recognise the newer one.
I think it is the default webcam app with Win 10.
P.S. I just remembered that, as far as I could find, it only supports resolution up to 3 megapixels.

Ok,its a big deal with the Stamp set that didn't have Microscopes working,all mine work on it so check your settings or may be its a 32 bit thing.
Just sifted a $100 bag of 20¢ coins for four quite decent Centenary of Federation. That's an excellent strike rate for 20¢ coins.
I have a $200 bag of 50¢ to look at now. Fingers crossed.
Well the noodling God must be in a benevolent mood. Only two Centenary of Federation in the $200 bag of 50¢ but several at aUNC (or better);
•1988 Tall Ships
•1998 Bass and Flinders
•1991 Ramshead -I do like finding them
•2005 WWII with foot cud.
And a 1985. That one would only be around F to vF.
Geez Jeff! Green with envy now ....... (no I'm pleased for you). Ram's head and 1985's are so hard! :good:
When I find one of each in a bag that does make my day!
Excellent finds Jeff!

I have taken a break from noodling and will most probably start up again after my return from the Indian Ocean circumnavigation cruise in March 2020.

The 2005 WWII has an error that I am sure Nevol will point out -very rare to get one of those in virtually uncirculated condition.Now that is a very good noodling result
I think they might be from a cash in at the bank. Some of the $10 50¢ bags had multiples of the same year and one bag had a lone Coat of Arms and nineteen commemoratives.
Many are rather dirty so a soak is planned. Putting coins into a jar in the kitchen, subject to cooking fumes, will do that.
Nice haul.
Great haul.
Well done Jeff
Santa has certainly been kind to you Jeff! :good:

$500 of $1 coins for;
•4 x alphabet coins -none of them one of the last two I need
•a very nice 2018 100 years of ANZAC
•2019 'U'
•2000 with large rabbit ears
•5 x common years/varieties much better than usual -around aUNC
•Last, but definitely not least.
Centenary of Federation with rim cud at 8 o'clock.
Geez Jeff, we're going to have to give you a new "handle" as you keep Noodling and Romanoff with all the goodies!!!!

Wait until my next post. Only part way through a batch and superb result so far. :taunt:
Well I really am on a roll!
Here are the varieties from the weekend noodling of $200 each of 20¢ and 50¢.

The majority of the 20¢ coins were in just two $10 bags out of twenty bags and many very high grade.
Where there is a stack of coins they are all the same variety.
Many more New Zealand 20¢ coins; I just kept some of the better ones.
Also picked up a few regular reverse in aUNC.
I like this noodling game but I suspect it won't keep going like this. :yahoo:

+ 1 ....... Wow Jeff! :good:
Excellent haul Jeff - very lucky.
Arrived back from my interstate (Brisbane) trip yesterday and had a $100 bag of 20¢ sitting here. Went through them today and, nearing the end, 2 x Centenary of Federation, a Reasonable Bradman. a good UN fiftieth and a very nice 2012 Bombing of Australia (NCLT). Thinking OK but not good enough to for bragging rights.
Then, with just a few dollars to go up came.....(https://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10055/160/Another.jpg)
So, unless there is a counterclaim, I will assume I can wear the noodling crown for another week.
Sure it is well worn but it is 56 years in circulation -a wavy is a wavy is the way I look at it.
You definitely have the crown Jeff! (Now that Harry's off maybe Lizzie will appoint you official "Crown Noodler") :good:
Well done Jeff!!
Well done indeed Jeff. :)
What a run you are on Jeff - long may it continue! :yahoo:

Boo Hoo, I have lost my crown.
But after my return from the Indian ocean cruise, look out, as I try and get my crown back.
By the way jeff, keep "my" crown clean till I get it back.
Darn I suppose I better congratulate you on a miserable, and well worn Wavey Line find. I still haven't found one.
Just to rub it in, how many MULES have you found.

New one to me too. Maybe one day I will stumble across one like it.
Congratulations on finding a different error.
Nothing to report from me because the local bank branch doesn't have any bags that I haven't already noodled. Just have to wait until someone brings some in or they get a delivery from Armaguard. The teller was happy when I returned a $100 bag of 20¢ early in the week. Told me they were rather short of them so I expect they will have some on order for delivery Monday.

Oops, nothing like leaving out an important detail :blush: . Jen, it was a 2008.
Haven't had a noodle for months but came across some coins my son left with me some time ago to go through and it was part of that little lot.
Thanks Uni & Jeff.
Pedro
Wow! That roo's got a doozy of a goiter. :shout:
Looks like his throat has been ripped out.
That would look good in my variety collection. My address follows.
Nice find, well done.
Oh dear, I am in danger of losing the crown.
$500 of $1 coins today for two rabbit ears and three alphabets (none on them either of the two I still do not have).
Traded the bag back for $400 of 50¢ and $100 of 20¢. Bound to be a wavy 2 and a 2010 upset in them -that's more optimistic, wishful thinking than expectation.
:laugh2: Optimism would be 1 x 1985 rabbit ears and JEF for the alphabet coins
My guess for your $400 and $100 are 1 x 85, 6 x states & a mabo along with 2 x states for the 20c
My wishful thing didn't get me very far. And Uni's prediction didn't help either;
•50¢ one CoF and a 1993
•20¢ two CoF
Undeterred I swapped them on Friday for a $500 bag of $1 coins. The grand result was;
•Three alphabet. One filling a gap so I only need 'J' now to have a full set.
•Two rabbit ears
•2019 Jody Clark obverse; my first coin with this portrait.
"Missed by that much" Jeff ...... :laugh2: ...... not ....... Ah, so you did need a J!
(https://stockhead.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Maxwell-Smart-1280x720.jpg)
:laugh2: ...... that's the man! You even got the bank bags it it Jeff!
Hi Jeff,
If you don't find a J soon, let me know.
I have 3 spares.
Cheers
Thanks Steve.
I have reported some excellent noodling finds recently. My latest is anything but;
•$200 of 50¢ coins for one 1980 double bar!
Sometimes I wonder why I bother.
That's no good Jeff! Did you check any 69s for a Yarra?
That is too tedious a task for me, especially as coins that vintage are rather well worn.
Tell you what though; Any '69 I find I will pack up and send to you to check for die markers. And you can take all the credit for any you find.
I pulled a "H" dollar from the till today, and a "Z" last week,
so these coins are definitely circulation coins. :)
Also pulled a nice United Nations 20c too.
Jeff, I know exactly what you mean, it is such a hard task trying to spot the markers amongst the circulation wear. I do have one I've put away (somewhere) that I felt looked the goods. I wouldn't put you to the trouble of saving them. I'm sure I get your pond returns anyway as I don't usually find much. :laugh2:
But gee Jeff, I do really appreciate the offer to hold them for me. (I probably would have taken you up on it but I have so many things going on at once lately I'm even more mental than I was before). Fortunately the forum gives me a time to step back and actually ....... breathe for a minute!
Someone has just cashed in a large lot of coins.
So far I have gone through $500 of $1 coins for little result -three alphabet but still not the elusive "J" (for Jeff?).
I have $200 of 50¢ and $400 of 20¢ to go through now. That should be enough to find something decent.
Judging from the number of coins -I think the bank still has another few bags- I would say it must have been a big money box; maybe one of those giant banknote ones.

P.S. The mail has just arrived. No bills today (good) and a $1 "J" (better).
Thank you Nancy.
Hopefully the 20c and 50c pieces deliver.
Nothing noteworthy. Exchanged them today for $200 of 50¢, $100 of 20¢ and $200 of $1. I think that is the last of the cashed in lot.
Enough of the vicissitudes of noodling. Next time I post here will be if I have turned up something special.
Haha.
I've got five rolls of 5c pieces on my desk that I still haven't got around to cracking open...

Probably worth sorting out a few of the best ones to keep. Won't be worth much but a few really nice UNC are good to have.

What a coincidence Steve, we've been up on the Gold Coast for a week (little Uni had shouted us a holiday). The only chance I got to noodle was when we got change for the lockers at Dreamworld, out of $50 of $1 coins I got an ..... X ...... my first ever of the new alphabets, a new effigy one and a 2016 twin rabbit ears, so I was pretty happy.
Nice Uni, especially the double rabbit ears! :ok:

Just what I need Uni. Put a bulk bag of coins beside it and it can tell me if it is worth noodling or just rubbish I should cash back in?
Is this the one I should get?

My predictions rarely end up being anywhere near the mark :grin: . Must be other factors at work!
Not sure about that crystal ball Jeff - looks like it might only work on $1 and $2s :winkextra:

You mean that one won't dispense wine? How disappointment.
A $100 bag of 20¢ coins produced a 1961 New Zealand florin and a 1993 Swiss 2 Francs.
I don't think even Nostradamus would have predicted that one Jeff!!!! Have you been finding any Pointy A's of late?
That is 2004 20¢. Yes, one yesterday but they seem to be coming much, much less frequently than they used to.
Well done Jeff. I haven't done 20c for ages now. (Years even). I see a lot of 2004s in change, but yet to get a pointy in change. (I have half a dozen from previous noodles I think).
I do have quite a few from a while back. That is the problem with noodling for scarcer coins -everyone else grabs any they see so they become even scarcer.
QuoteI don't think even Nostradamus would have predicted that one Jeff!!!!
I'm sure he would have*. It it all about how you interpret his writings -very accurate to confirm things in hindsight but useless for predicting anything that is not obviously about to happen.
*I won't bother studying what he said but could surely find something to interpret as a prediction of that.
Yes Jeff, have a book somewhere in the shed of all his quatrains. From memory lots of languages used in his originals so that he wouldn't be burnt, so even the translations themselves would be capable of many interpretations. Saw a story once of the soldiers that dug him up, etc, that was a beaut if it is factual.

While "home detention" is the go I am taking the opportunity to reassess my error coin holdings. This one I had tagged as a partial off-centre strike but after re-noodling it today something else caught my eye that I had missed the first time around. It is a 2000 $2.

Lovely die crack Pedro!!!!
Is it a die crack or lamination error?
Oddly Jeff, I thought the same, but it was the rim to I that made me think die crack.
I went for lamination for the section near the Queen's nose and cud for the bit on the top of the "I" (but with no great degree of confidence).
Pedro
Does the cracking extend over the Queen's face Pedro? If so, I'll also go lamination for that part.

Uni, it goes a bit further to the left than the photo shows - out to the other side of the Queen's nostril.

Looking at the picture, I would say a die crack and lamination flaw.

Thanks Pedro! I haven't checked any of mine as yet, but none back to the pond either, so your timing is great!!!!
The aim of the exercise was just consolidating the storage of these coins so the errors list below may well have holes in it. A bit better than 1 in 3 coins had an error on it (well it was 2014 after all!)
Noted:
- cud on the tip of the Queen's nose
- cud on Queen's lips
- cud on Queen's chin
- Queen's cheek - have a few where there are cud lines down the Queen's cheek from nostril to mouth or parts thereof ("tear tracks")
- doubling on the Queen's face
- strange shapes near the Queen's mouth, cheek and eyes. Look like raised irregular "frosting" shapes.
- cud on the symbol on the reverse (too many dots on the reverse for my liking so little time spent checking for errors)
I vaguely remember having seen one with a cud on top of the symbol on the reverse in the past but maybe that was just my imagination (oh well, next time :biggrin: ).
Pedro
Great summary Pedro! When I get to mine I'll let you know if I find any others.
Not my usual place to find coins but digging in the garden today I found a 1946 halfpenny. I'd dug that section more times than I can remember but somehow it was close to the surface.

this coin was noodled whilst going through my brothers tool box today ,
it is a 1922 penny in bad shape , would acetone be a chance of cleaning it do you think ?
I have just put it into a bottle with acetone , how long should I leave it in there ? thanks for answers .
kel .
I don't give you much chance on that one Kel. You could try xylene but still will probably not do much.
If it hasn't improved in 24 hours then more time probably won't help. When you pull it out give it a gentle touch up with a cotton tip, rinse in hot water and pat dry between two paper towels.

I went to the bank yesterday and returned $300 of 50¢ noodled coins I had been sitting on; also $100 in various denominations -discards from previous noodling and accumulated change.
I now have $300 of 50¢ and $100 of $1 coins for some weekend noodling.
Many of the discards were not so good condition;
•2004 bighead/pointy A 20¢
•2008 wave gap 20¢
•2005 foot cud 50¢
•2007 reverse doubling 50¢
•rabbit ears $1, lots of 1994 and 1998 in particular
•the scarcer varieties of other various coins that have two varieties
•"better" condition of low mintage years of various coins -just kept some of the ones that were genuinely aUNC and up.
It's amazing how many "keepers" I had that were not really worth keeping.

I have been noodling again for about four weeks. Local bank not turning over much coin so not a lot of noodling. Nothing found so far worth reporting.
Got $200 of dollars and $100 of 50¢ Friday. Had a look at them yesterday. Dollars first and same old, same old...."move along, nothing to see here.
So on to the 50¢. At last a result!

Perhaps, someone did cash in his/her collection or an old piggy bank jar...
I've picked up a couple of good looking Captain Cook ones in change recently. I wonder if RAM found a supply and just released them into circulation?
Either that or someone has had their collection knocked off and spent at the shops. I hope it wasn't that one.
It's a shame that early QEII one isn't from 1985. You'd be much happier.
Quote from: 'redlock' pid='122832' dateline='1595137860'Perhaps, someone did cash in his/her collection or an old piggy bank jar...
I am thinking that way. Not a random assortment because I also didn't keep quite a few, not so good condition, commemoratives. Normally about 35% aren't coat of arms reverse but in this lot well more than half of them.
And Gweidon a 1985 in that condition would indeed make me very happy.
One of my brothers went into a Care facility recently (Just before covid got going in Qld) and he had approx half a sugar bag of 50c coins which his family cashed in. Starting some time before 2000, every 50c he got went in.
I'd gone through them about 4 yrs ago and found 1 X Incuse. I didn't bother with 2001 CoF at the time.

I'd gone through them about 4 yrs ago and found 1 X Incuse. I didn't bother with 2001 CoF at the time.
Sadly now he doesn't even know who I am.
Damn, that is a shame. Life certainly isn't fair.
Quote from: 'gweidion' pid='122834' dateline='1595138379'I've picked up a couple of good looking Captain Cook ones in change recently. I wonder if RAM found a supply and just released them into circulation?
Sometimes I wonder - I started collecting in 1999 and it was many many years before I saw a 1970 50c piece in change.
My noodling has been limited lately, mainly because the local bank branch has not been turning over many coins.
Then on Friday* they had three $500 bags of $1 coins deposited. So I am a happy noodler for the weekend. About half way through them and, so far, a 2001 Volunteers with two rim cuds, a few rabbit ears and quite a lot of alphabet ones. I have started another set of the alphabets and only one short of completing it.
I will report later if anything interesting turns up. An upset CoF would be nice or, even better, a mule but that is highly unlikely.
*Coincidentally Friday was when we were booked to go on this year's Fiji trip. Of course that booking was cancelled and is in limbo to some unspecified, later date. Even though the flight was announced as cancelled a couple of months ago Flight Radar (https://www.flightradar24.com/-36.16,150.65/7) shows it actually occurred?
I had to dip into our holiday savings to buy the coins but won't be needing that money any time soon.
Nice finds Jeff. I cracked a roll of dollars at work the other day
and managed to get 3 alphabet coins from that roll. I too am only
one coin away from completing another set.
Shame about your trip to Fiji. Not sure if we will ever be going
on another cruise.
I got a 2019 D alphabet dollar from a family member's change tray today. Nothing else of late.
Finished the $1500 of $1 coins and two more rabbit ears plus a spew roo. Several more alphabet but not the last letter for the new set yet.
1989 20¢. Quite bright and shiny but a bit of wear and tear -say XF, must have been on the loose for a little while. It's escapade is over now.
P.S. Found the last letter to finish another alphabet $1 set.
Nice.
I got myself some rolls today but haven't had a look yet.
I got $500 of $1 coins for petty cash.
In them was an aUNC 1984, a lamination flaw 1985 and two letter coins.
B for boomerang and P for platypus all bright and shiny.
Hey, with these letter coins do they get to "U"?
Maybe U for Unicorn? (ho ho).
Fred.
I think someone might have cashed in some coins. $200 of 50¢ and many early years, top grades but coated in an oily film -the old put them in a jar in the kitchen trick (cooking fumes).
Will give them a soak in warm water with a dash of detergent followed by a touch of acetone. Should be some good keepers to put towards some sets there.
Oh and this rather marked one.

"I think someone might have cashed in some coins."
Nah they knew it was your birthday Jeff :yahoo:
I got some $2, $1, $0.50c and $0.20 c to sort through today. All up $3,000 worth.
To date all I have found was the 2014 Hawthorn AFL Premiers coin.
All I have to do is go through the $0.20c coins and that will be tomorrow.
I did tell a littler white lie on an entry prior to this one whereas I said I had found absolute NUTTIN through $6,000 worth of coins. I did find the "G" for George Lancaster Bomber $1 coin.
I just did $150 of 50¢ coins and picked up another incused millennium.
I have had a good run of those lately -may it continue.
Gee your jammy.
Nice find. :)
Very lucky Jeff.

What a superb idea Fred! ...... I'll be back to noodling in no time if that's the case! :laugh2:
I have made three sets of the alphabet coins. Any I find now are just possible upgrades for the sets. Left overs I am sorting out the letters to make little presentation sets for my grandchildren, spelling their names. All three of them have the same number of letters in their first name so that is one possible cause of conflict avoided! :mocking:
From eight rolls of 5c pieces, 1 roll of 10c pieces and four rolls of $1 coins (the machine was out of 20c and 50c pieces) I kept a 1986 NZ 5c, a 2000 NZ 5c and 1986 Singapore 10c.

What sort of machine gives you coin rolls?
I get coin rolls from the local ANZ now. You put your notes in the machine and coin rolls come out. :)

I'm in South East Queensland and most of the Westpac branches I go to have a machine that will swap notes for rolls (or smaller notes).
hmm, I refuse to deal with Westpac and the scum at ANZ closed our local branch like the scum at Scumcorp did.
I'm sure other banks have a similar setup. Commonwealth Banks seem to have more than the usual ATMs at branches.
I have to say I've never seen one. My Commonwealth branch doesn't have one. Nor does the other Commonwealth branch near by. ANZ never had one. As far as I know NAB doesn't have one. I haven't set foot in Westpac to check.
The Scumcorp branches don't like to deal with coins, they hold virtually no coin change and if you bring coins in they point you at the coin machine (if they have one) making you use that.
I haven't been to Bendigo bank yet but seriously thinking of opening an account there because at least they have a branch here.

Ralf, It's the Australian & New Zealand Banking Group.

Thanks for the information. :cool:
I had never heard of them before. :blush:
But you have most likely never heard of Kreissparkasse Heinsberg or Raiffeisenbank Erkelenz :grin:
Okay, these are local banks. But I doubt most of you have heard of DZ Bank or Commerzbank either. (Germany's #2 and #3 banks).
Here is a list of Australian Banks for you Ralf. I must admit I am not familiar wit German Banks.
I am old enough to remember the ES&A bank. They merged with ANZ 50 years ago!

Thanks for the list. :thank_you:
Very interesting how old/how young some banks are.
Did $150 of 50¢ this morning for 3 x CoF, a 1993 and a 1991 ramshead (haven't found one of those for a long time).
Now I have a $500 bag of $1 to crack.
So far so good Jeff :ok:

I did $2,000 worth of coin yesterday, 5c - $2, and all I got was two rolls of 2020 20c coins Jody Clark H/T and five rolls T/T of the same.
H/T rolls now up on eBay.
Quote from: 'Goldseeker' pid='123458' dateline='1601081996'H/T rolls now up on eBay.
What search category should I be looking for? I would put a couple of rolls away provided they aren't ridiculously overpriced as there looks like there are heaps of them.

Thanks Jen.
$200 of $50 Armaguard rolls for six Centenary of Federation (5 different) and a quite good 1993.
$500 of $1 rolls now to noodle.
I don't know how you have the patience or the eyesight.

I agree.
I'm sorting a few world coins at the moment and my eyes are struggling.
Looked through some 50¢ this morning and found a nice 1985; aUnc, not quite new coin brilliance but close, good cartwheel effect -probably the best I have found in years of noodling. Does look better "in the hand" than my hasty photos.
Now part way into 500 of Armaguard rolls of $1 and just turned up a 2018 MoR P privy mark -Perth ANDA show.

That's a nice 1985 50 cent piece. Always a good pick up given how few were minted.
The 1985 50c is indeed a nice find.
I was lucky enough to be given one
of those on a PNC cover.
Lovely find Jeff! I'd be over the moon with that one too!!!
Great work Jeff! :yahoo:
Pedro
Turns out it was not the best I have found in many years of noodling. The one in my album, that I found years ago. is actually better. So "the best I have found in recent years". :yahoo:
As my policy is to only keep the best of any year/variety/error for myself I am giving it a run on eBay. 1985 50 cent coin -scarce year, almost uncirculated (https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/264920246078?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649)
The Nine years of Rabbit ears dollars is an interesting set.
I wonder why the dies seem to fail in that spot regularly and why RAM hasn't learnt anything about stopping that failure after all those years?
Someone banked $2000 of $1 coins at my local bank Friday. So four bags to noodle.
First bag I found my first 2020 $1, a Qantas Centenary. And this one,

I hope you find some more good stuff.
Very nice!
