Noodling finds

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.

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

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!

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.

ausjack · February 17, 2015, 02:03:04 PM

just found my first rotated/upset parkes :yahoo:

JeffH · February 17, 2015, 02:07:31 PM

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.

ausjack · February 17, 2015, 03:23:30 PM

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.
