Noodling finds

[Unicorn]

I had another look at your pic and I think mine are/were the same. Here's the two I sold. The tail cud in the lower 2/3 parts appears to have a impression where it remains on the die whilst the 1/3 part joining the roo is a proper cud. There is also a line of 'spit' on the back of the roo (below the one with the ears) on all 3.

There is also a line of 'spit' on the back of the roo (below the one with the ears) on all 3.

This has become quite common recently. Most are a bit hard to spot because they're right along the edge of the roo's back, extending as far as half way to the top roo's feet. I think its likely a crack, and related to the tail spike most prevalent on the '98's. I think I have one somewhere where the line extends right across the second roo and out his mouth, though not all the way to the third roo, IIRC.

Unicorn:-   I was looking at one of those you pictured above on EBay yesterday.   It still might be there.

Did a little noodling with some pleasing finds:

1996 $1 Henry Parkes - mintmark "S" - more :yahoo:

1998 $1 with cud (sizeable a bit like the one pictured earlier)

Couple of 2001 state 50c coins - Victoria and Norfolk Island

One happy chappy!

[robbiegal]

I got 2 beaut shiny 2012 20c pieces today in change
I wrapped them in a tissue in the shop
I think the check out chick thought I was weird

[ausjack]

no comment RG :mocking: you know I wanna be good :winkextra:

But serious I was keeping all shiny but ended up with hundreds sitting there so put them back and now only keep old one's, got one that you'd like a 69 and would be VF, if the sun is out tomorrow I might try and get a pic but don't expect a pic like Marks :laugh2:

69 50 cent sorry, if anyone wants anything kept just yell out as there's about 4 2013 50's that will go back and I'm that way I'm even tossin back cuds as I have so many coins and getting to many of the same coin so trying to limit what I keep to better errors and the like..I must stop noodling and sort a heap out but I just can't as I have to find bubbles :laugh2: If they are rareish than I want as many as I can get Been doin a few hundred every few days but a lot of the time they're the same bloody coins but I'd get about 5 to 20 2012 50 cent depending and would get between 2 and 5 on average and think I'm around the 30 mark now but have given about 20 away so I'm doin ok, just hope they end up worth something

I think you've cornered the market in bubbles, AJ. You sure you aren't making them yourself?

[ausjack]

MUST HAVE ALL BUBBLES, need more more MORE MORE :shock:

HAHAHAHA nah mate, but I have been thinking for quite sometime and especially after every time I look at the 98 50 as I think they might have a packet of button from Flinders jacket that have fallen in to the mix..true, look at the button then tell me my bubble don't look the same :laugh2: I've been meaning to say that for a while but never got around to it :winkextra:

[Nevol]

I found my 1st 2012 50c bubble last night, so now I have 2! :angel:

[ausjack]

woohoo good on ya Nevol :good: so they are finally making it around, just wish I knew how many

[JeffH]

You sure you aren't making them yourself?

I have a spring loaded centre punch. I reckon one of those might make good bubbles [at least good enough for Larena to declare it a variant].

[ausjack]

hehe yeah I have one as well and done it Jeff and not quite the same but it did look like pmd that someone else posted :winkextra:
lately I have found about 10 coins both 20 and 50 cent that someone has "tried" drilling but stuffed their bit by the look of the bluing around the hole :mocking: but they weren't all together and they use about a 5 to 6mm bit so if you see any getting around I didn't do it :laugh2: I really didn't, just found them
