Makes Hercules statistics look sick. Normally I would not expect to find one of those more often than every 2 or three months.
Beginner's luck?Just scored another $400 from same source so, fingers crossed (but that does slow down the noodling)!

[Ozcoins]

Good luck Jeff!

Congratulations, Jeff! :wavemulticolor:

At least that explains where all the 1985 50c coins went.

Does anyone else have any coins they'd like to place back into circulation for me to noodle? :drooling:

[JeffH]

Sorry mate. they are staying here.

[JeffH]

Only one 1985 50¢ in the last lot.
Strange, not one 1993 in all those coins. Usually would find several in that quantity and always more of them than 1985.

[Ozcoins]

The coins you were searching were all saved earlier than 1993?
It's funny how you say "only one" ☺

[JeffH]

No, mix of years from 1969 to 2016. Definitely not a random assortment though -large number of only a few commemoratives and large numbers of a few particular years- but no pattern that I could discern.

[Hercules]

Did you get any incuse flags? I'd easily chose one of those over 3 1985s.

[JeffH]

No incused. Still four 1985 is not bad and did get some high grade early years.
The only reason I can think for excess of 1985 in a big batch of cashed in coins is that is a significant year for that person -birth year maybe?

Chances are they just liked the "new" effigy. Another possibility is that someone told them they were scarce, so they collected a whole heap of them in the hope of making a profit.
