Robbiegal-I have found approx. 450 X  2001 COF Upsets and made up four Clock face sets and sold one on EBay several years ago.   I have sold many single coins on EBay to secure spending monies for our forthcoming Round The World Voyage and have given quite a few away when a now defunct Forum had a dinner in Canberra some years ago.

I have given a few away as "presents" and I still have 217 available.

Although I am still searching $1 coins for Mules/Errors/Upsets etc, they are really scarce to find now.   According to my records, I have only found three 2001 Upsets in the past 6 months.

Goldie,
I think you may have contributed to making them hard to find...

Hi Goldie,
I am not sure what you posted and removed.
I hope my post did not cause offence. It was not intended to.
I have a theory that, once released, coins tend to circulate within a geographical area.
If you have searched many coins (as you have) then that area will have less of the coins you have removed from circulation.
I think that you will now have less chance of finding things like mules and rotated dollars simply because there are less of them available now.

Ozcoins:   No No No, your comment didn't hurt me.   I was responding to a reply on page 1 of this topic.   As I do not have the power to delete any comments I have made, I have to edit the comment completely and put in "Removed By The Author".

All is OK, comments don't hurt and you are entitled to have your say.

All good, still friends, no harm done.

Goldie,

No way hossay.   I put up an advert for all 2001 Upsets to come here and bingo, they just arrive.

No seriously.   At one time I was noodling up to 2,700 $1 coins at each swap but then declined to around 2,000 coins at a time, three to four times a week.

Over time one gets to find quite a few errors, upsets, etc and that's how I do it.

I am now down to 500 $1 coins three to four times a week.   Depends on my weekly outings.   I am still noodling 2,000 50c pieces at each swap as well.

I must admit I've slacked right off since Xmas. Done pretty much nothing except pick up a partial sack of UNC 2013 $1. One of the bags is busted and I haven't even had the motivation to noodle it for errors...

This game is definitely more fun in the cooler months I reckon.

[Ozcoins]

That's a lot of coins you are going through Goldie!

[Goldseeker]

Yep, three to four times a week now, 500 x $1 coins and 2,000 x 50c at each swap......making up for the time I shall be away on our cruise.

making up for the time I shall be away on our cruise.

As if you won't be noodling on board... where there's a casino, there's goldy sitting in the corner with a big pile of coins...

[Ozcoins]

That's pretty much what went through my mind too Fulvio.
I am wondering what proportion of coins on the ship he will manage to get his hands on during the cruise and what goodies he will come back with.

I guarantee 120% of the coins on board will pass through his hands mate. And a couple might actually make it home as well!

Problem is it's virtual currency on board. Spend what you like but it's all credit. They don't let you off until you settle up.
When Goldie walks up the gangway he gives up noodling cold turkey and gets a life! Some principal activities of the life are eating, drinking, sleeping and (in my case) lying on a lounge chair on deck with a book. Punctuated by the occasional shore excursion to jolt you back to a false sense of reality.

Not life as we know it -a hard job but someone has to do it. I am sure Goldie is up to it.
We are wandering off thread, I think. Just to get back; a 1992 20¢ in my noodling last night.
