Noodling finds

[Fulvio]

if he can get $220.00 for his , I will offer him these 2 at $ 100.00 ea

LOL! I think your collection is safe from being depleted, mate.

[Nevol]

I had a quick look about and found this one which is in better nick than mine.

$220??? Y'gotta be kidding... Is he dreaming or what?

That coins has been listed and relisted many times.  The seller is the son of a certain seller in Bundy, who also sets unrealistic prices for her errors and is a member here.  :dodgy:  They both need a huge dose of reality. :winkextra:

[Goldseeker]

I was going to make an offer of 50c for the coin as I have found quite a few.

Goldy, I'll happily drive over and take all your spare dollars at 50¢ each. They don't even have to be upsets. :angel:

I'm quite curious Goldie. We know that you've found quite a lot of mules (the gallery post was around 26), but how many of the rotated Henry Parkes have you found?

I found a thread you did back in September which I thought was your first?

Or was it the first with a lesser upset than your others?

You may be quite correct Unicorn in me reporting a Sir Henry Parkes find back in September but that particular coin was a partial rotation as against others I had found which were rotated a bit more.   I have been noodling for several years now and my first recorded find of this coin was Aug 2006.   I suppose I have found in excess of 20 and I have sold a few on EBay and sold some privately.   I think I am holding four as I type.

In regards to Mules, found 39, sold 13, on display 1, on hand 25.

[Unicorn]

Thanks for the extra info Goldie I really appreciate it. (Stats from someone who has noodled more dollar coins than probably the rest of us put together is always good).

Kind of makes them pretty hard to find I guess, considering you've found more mules than the Henry Parkes rotated.

Thanks again.

[Goldseeker]

Thanks Unicorn, but there was a gent on this forum or one of the other now defunct forums, that has found in excess of 200 Mules.   Makes my finds punny.

One of the defunct forums had a MULE Count topic and at the time of the forum going bottom up, the coiunt was neer 200 Mules being found by forum members.

Be interesting to see what the actual total figure of Mules minted is.

Sometimes when noodling I come across a much better than usual coin and wonder "where have you been hiding over the years?" The Silver Jubilee has excellent cartwheel lustre.
Well. these came from a moneybox, cashed in at the bank yesterday. Also was a 1979 50¢ that I would put at EF -pity it's not a double bar.

[emu666]

That's a nice Jubilee for a coin more than 35 years old.
As one of the early commemoratives they were hoarded and every now and then they get spent (usually not by the person who did the hoarding).

[attachment=2368] Hi all.. First noodling post for me
Have been pretty busy but finally sat down last night to go through the stack of coins I have accumulated over the last few weeks and  this little beauty jumped out at me.( May I add I had to point out the error to my kids , think they may need glasses..lol)

I'm usually pretty good at searching round the net and getting a rough idea of value and whether its a keeper or not ,but I cant find anything other than 2 vague mentions of this error..
Anyone have any ideas on value/ rareness etc..
TIA all

:welcome:
Looks like a 90 degree rotation.
Nice find :good:

[Linda]

Thanx Trout,, but sadly the rotation is just a sign of my bad photoshop skills,, lol.
I should have explained the error, waffled on about everything else and forgot the most important part of the post ..
Its the T missing in Australia and also slightly off center with some of the lettering touching the rim.

[purplepennyhunter]

No T there, good one.

[trout]

HaHa
There I was Zooming in on the upset and totally missed the "Greased" "T"
:dash1: :blush:
