I don't understand these big words the doctors tell me.. what does "lobotomy" mean? :angel:

I don't understand these big words the doctors tell me.. what does "lobotomy" mean? :angel:

I am pretty sure it means "Stay away from the doctors, and hang around with your friends on the coin forum".

Thanks Ozcoins for straightening that out for me, I thought it might have been a medical procedure where they separate one's brain from their wallet.

[Fulvio]

I am pretty sure it means "Stay away from the doctors, and hang around with your friends on the coin forum".

But, but, but... I overheard them saying that was why I was there in the first place. Gee, now I don't know who to listen to. :dontknow:

We are your friends.   We don't cost you anything.   We are free.

Doctors are not.............

[Coins from Vending]

Today I found an excellent conditioned 2011 10c piece, and also a quite nice 2011 $2 coin my collection is coming along very quickly, I am even going to start getting $1000 of 20c pieces to sort through on those cold wet days when I can't play golf.

Needed a bag of $2 coins for change in the till at work, found 6 2013 QEII Coronation coins in the bag.

[Fulvio]

No Coronation coins yet, but my friendly coin teller did save me a handful of interesting dollars, including a pretty banged-up C mintmark 2010 coinage $1:

The three 1999 IYOPs among them comprise one cud and two different size obverses.

Just my luck I am always a day late and a dollar short. Today I go into my local branch and the teller says Darryn what are round 50c pieces worth, oh about $10-12 dollars,  Really?? yes sometimes more?? oh dear, why?? well I swapped 20 of them yesterday to a customer for face value??

she said she will put aside every $2 coin for me as compensation.....

[Mister T]

From 500 20c pieces:

3 x 2013 Canberra
1 x 2011 Volunteers

Oh how I wish every day was like this one...

Headed off with a little more than a sack of $2 to see what Armaguard delivered. Nuffin.. just boring recirc. Oh well, thought I may as well pop next door and change the pin on my shiny new NAB card, had the usual conversation, and scored nearly ten bucks of copper. Good start.

Since I had some poppy rolls, the two upsets and the MYO with me (to show my friendly teller), I thought I'd head up to my favourite dealer and show him too. Happened to pass another shopping centre, and thought, "why not drop in?"

Ka-Ching! Two bags of very shiny 2013's, five of them coronations. All much better than normal, nearly Gem, IMO. But already a few specks of purple paint floating around inside the bags. These are not going to travel well. And by the sound of it, every bag only has 2 or 3 in it. Almost like they planned it that way to ration them. Next door, CBA hadn't even seen any, but they did have three Federation fivers. Woot!

So, after a discussion outside the dealers with an elderly gentleman who took up two parking spaces, I run into a lovely gentleman who mentions he knows someone I lost contact with. We may gain one or two new forum members from this contact. Then I get handed a gold 10¢. No idea what they did it with, but its a very nice bit of plating and I just had to have it.

The poppies come up in conversation, and I end up walking out with an aUNC 3-1/2 claw I had my eye on, and a nice handful of cash, and the gold trinket.

Stop for supplies on the way home, mention my quest, and score four aUNC cudded poppies. Then check out K-Mart, where I find polypropylene 2-ring binders for $5. If I knew what the pages were (they look a bit PVC-ish), I might have bought some.

I'm definitely a happy chappy.. and I haven't even opened the Armaguard sack yet.
