Top job Pedro!!!

Did the 2014 Bubble also have the partial one next to the claw as well? (I thought your earlier one did .... but I could be wrong).

Great pics as usual!!! :good:

Well done Pedro.
I don't know how everyone else can find bubbles and I have only found a couple. Maybe it is time to have my eyes tested again.

Good memory Uni but no, this one didn't have the bubble near the claw.

Today is my first day of taking up noodling seriously since I stopped in December 2016.

I have $1,000 x $1's, $600 x 50c's, $400 x 20c's, that is correct, $2,000 in total for:

2000 COF Upset at 258 degrees: (See below):

and 1 x 1993 COA $0.50c piece.

Not bad for a first day's return noodling and I still have the 20c pieces to examine.

Top job Goldie ..... Gee that rotated looks in great condition! :good:

Goldseeker · January 24, 2018, 07:51:07 PM

Yes is does look good for a coin that has been circulating for just over 17 years.

I was more surprised at the angle of rotation rather than anything else.

Completed the coins I got yesterday today and this was the only error coin amongst them all:

1974 $0.20c Obv Flaking Planchet: (Scan of Obv and closeup of fault):

2008 Coat of Arms $1 "C".

JeffH · February 20, 2018, 06:05:09 AM

2008 Year of the Rat $1.

I went through some 50c pieces - got a CoF Victoria, 3 x 1970 and 3 x 1988.
Not much else.

Pre-noodled coins?

More a case of noodling non finds today.
Just went through a stack of 50¢ coins and one bundle of five bags ($50) was exclusively normal Coat of Arms reverse. All up there was 7% of commemoratives in all the coins -normally would see more than 35% commemoratives. Did find two 2007 with good worn die doubling but too battered to be worth keeping.
So total haul zilch!

Normally I would never post about not so good noodling sessions but this one was exceptional.

Mister T · March 03, 2018, 07:08:46 AM

Too bad - I don't have that suspicion often but it's really off-putting when it does happen.
I suppose it's a like more likely with 50c pieces anyway.

Mister T · March 03, 2018, 01:04:43 PM

Well a little unexpected - I got a nice 1995 $20 note from the change machine. It wasn't uncirculated (it had a few creases) but I could still feel the intaglio.

JeffH · March 03, 2018, 02:49:28 PM

That's a new word to me -I love discovering new words. Had to look it up.

Intaglio is to printing as incused is to coinage; or thereabouts.

Goldseeker · March 06, 2018, 08:54:10 PM

I noodled 1,500 x$1 coins today and this one turned up:

This is a first one for me for a long long time
