Noodling finds

[markn]

Your opinions please;

Possible thin planchett.   Weight 14.9 grams as against 15.4 grams.

Found during noodling today as well as two x 2000 Incuses:

Judging by the texture of the surfaces I'd say it's had a swim in some acid.

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:

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.

[Goldseeker]

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:

[Goldseeker]

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:

[ausjack]

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:

[czark]

Nice finds ausjack, especially the incused. Still haven't found one yet...

[Unicorn]

Great finds AJ!!!!  :yahoo: Incuse :yahoo:

I'd be more than happy with those.

Some of those 69 through 74s look nice!

[Robster]

"Incuse me A.J., what a good noodler you are.!! :dodgy:

[ausjack]

: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

[robbiegal]

they look nice to me
I have a few of the 1969 AJ - range from knocked up to not so knocked up
