Collecting 50c coins

[Fulvio]

What an amazing man, another Aussie hero- thanks for sharing.!!!

Are 1972 & 1971 50cents coins worth keeping?

[Unicorn]

If they are in good condition then definately. Although I usually will keep a 72 unless it's damaged. Mintages 71 = 21.1million 72=5.6million. Hope that helps!

Are 1972 & 1971 50cents coins worth keeping?

1971:  21,056,000
1972:   5,586,000
1973:   4,009,000
1974:   8,962,000

So 71 would only be desirable in high grade. The others I keep any I find.

Currently noodling through 20c and 50c, I'm keeping good grades of most late 60s/early 70s 50c and 20c. Cheaper than buying mint sets and busting them up.

If you view decimals like pre-decimals then the 1972/73 could be equivalent to the 1914/15 respectively. The late 60s equal to 1911/12/13...and so on.

Yes it's definately cheaper to noodle but if you want uncirculated coins at a resonable price mint sets are the way to go

Good analogy there :good:

Still noodling 50c pieces and found another 2000 Incuse last Friday.

[Nikolce92]

Just found a 1993 50cent coin

[coxspau]

Nice work Nikolce92. My noodling efforts have dried up of late. Goldy appears to have the midas touch in terms of noodling.

[Goldseeker]

I only wish that was correct coxspau.   I did 400 x 50c coins, 1000 x 20c and 500 x $1 today for nuttin.

Boo hoo, might have to give the game away.........only joking!

[coxspau]

That is a massive noodle. I wouldn't do that much in a month, let alone a day.

But when you said you didn't find anything, can you provide that in a relative context? I guess no wavy 20s, incused 50s or Mule 2000 $1...what about others? Royal Visit, Tall Ships, Rams head, Big head 2004s?

[Goldseeker]

Yes, absolutely nuttin, zilch, zero.

[Fulvio]

Yes, absolutely nuttin, zilch, zero.

Disclaimer: Goldy's definition of nothing is not like everyone else's. :angel:

Which I guess is a good thing for the next guy who noodles his rejects.

:laugh2: Fulvio, you always seem pretty keen to get hold of them .....

It's the coins that Goldseeker rejects
That make noodling circ coins the best

I think he just likes to share .... :angel:
