multi-tasking coaster

Any coin in those piles looks good.   I can look through 2,500 $1 coins in about 3 hours.   When one knows what to look for, it is easily spotted.

Then I can spend another 3 hours looking at his rejects to find tons more errors.

And then everyone is happy!

Happy Noodling Kel.!!

[keldaw]

happy ?  not me ozcoins , I have been through half of them for nothing so far .
  first  , I pick up 1 coin at a time ,  no 1 , look for mule , no 2 look for offsets , no 3 look for R/E , no 4 look for cuds ,while doing that to each coin , I can then notice any other fault that I am interested in .
 I have never thought to check the edge,s of coins , that is something that I must remember to do ..  ,, kel ,,

[humpybong]

Bad luck...but the think of how much fun you are having Kel.

:whistle2:

[keldaw]

true barry , but I will have to slow down a bit or I may go blind , just

 like robbiegal said , and my dad told me the same thing many years

 ago , stop it or you will go blind .

 but I don't remember what he was talking about , because I did not

  noodle them days ..    ,, kel ,,

I keep all Centenary of Federation 50c pieces in account of them being low mintage so I would keep it.

[Goldseeker]

Unless you really need to keep that coin, or many more like it, spend it and get some more to look at.

Many people have hoarded the COF 50c and 20c pieces, so all the good looking ones have been removed from circulation.   The ones that are left are pretty well less wanted examples of that particular coin.

If you want to start a basic circulatory collection then keep it.

[Ozcoins]

On the other hand goldy, I find a fair number of COF 50c that have not seen as much circulation as you would expect. I think they get put aside so don't see much circulation then get spent later.

[Fulvio]

A local dealer offered to buy any and all state coins at 70¢. So they're worth hanging on to. I've seen UNC ones at $25. I keep any that cross my path, even though I have full sacks of UNC ones.

Oh, and there are errors on them too. Another reason not to toss them back.

Be careful not to confuse doodling and noodling.
