A very nice lamination Goldie!

Good pickup Kel! I think that's getting close to the extra large / huge version.

That's not extra large, that's HUGE.

Another incused millenium 50¢ for me this morning. :yahoo:

Unicorn · January 09, 2014, 01:26:29 PM

Well done Jeff!

I haven't seen one for ages.

Goldseeker · January 09, 2014, 06:46:55 PM

Um, I have nine as spares..........

JeffH · January 10, 2014, 06:32:13 PM

Well, blow me down!
An incused millennium this morning (from $70 of 50¢ in a moneybox banked yesterday).
And.....another tonight (similar, but only $50 of 50¢ in this lot).
It is said that good/bad things come in threes -I can't wait to test that old wives' tale!

Anyway; two incused in one day must be a record?

wow awesome finds, well done Jeff :good:

Unicorn · January 10, 2014, 07:03:41 PM

Wow, I think that would be a record, especially from the total $ checked!

That's 3 in the past 2 days isn't it?

I got a C mintmark NCLT Kingsford Smith $1 from $100 today.

JeffH · January 10, 2014, 08:11:33 PM

Always nice to find NCLT that have escaped into the wild. I like to make a guess how long they have been roaming. I have found a few proofs that are barely recognisable as such -so, on the prowl for some years.
Why do people do that?

I found exactly the same thing 2 days ago.
Well circulated and at first glance I thought it was a 'normal' one, then I noticed the 'map'.

I just assume it's the lure of the pokies that gives these coins their freedom.
And it seems like this one in particular had a reasonably high mintage (102,000 I think) and I recall someone else finding another one a week or so ago.
