Friday last I bought $400 of 50¢ from local which bank branch to noodle over the weekend. When I started looking there was something strange -lots of very lustrous coins (cartwheels even) and many earlier years with very little wear or marking!

Here is a random sample of some I kept;



Today I returned $300 rejects and asked the obvious question -"An old man, who has been saving them ever since decimal started, cashed them in". They had another $400 with the same packing date so I bought them; fingers crossed for tonight. No ramsheads or incused but, who knows with the next batch.
And, "do you want any dollars too? He brought a lot of them in also."

MORAL; cultivate the friendly tellers and be nice to them. You never know when they might come up trumps.

Some lovely coins there Jeff.

The 1993 looks great!

So did you get the $1 coins? (or is that a silly question).

So did you get the $1 coins? (or is that a silly question).

Not a silly question. I didn't have enough cash to get the $1 coins. Going back first thing tomorrow to claim them. Otherwise they will probably go with Armaguard on Thursday!

That 1993 was one of four.
And, just turned an incused getting into the next batch.

One of four! Geez Louise!

Pics of the incuse when you get the chance eh!

For what it's worth -not so good condition compared to a lot of the other coins. But, an incused is an incused and still good to find.
Not so sure about the $1 coins. They weren't packed when received but just put in the coin drawer. So what was since packed could be them or could be others that came in (and some of the cashed in ones may have been given out). Anyway I got $500 to have a look so, fingers crossed.

That incised 50c still looks reasonably good.
Good luck with the $1 searching.
The bank I go to for coins has been out of coins all week, so no noodling for me.

Yeah I found that as well Jeff a few months ago now when I found about $50 in a $400 bag that someone had done what I'm doing now and had a huge clean up so now I'm sorting all them and just picking out the really good one's and sending some of to members now and then just as a little thank you as it's better than putting nice coins back in the pond. Good finds mate and give ya a warm fuzzy when ya do :good:

I went through 500 x $1 coins and 2000 x 50c coins today for the following:

1 x Rams Head $1 "C" Mint Mark
1 x Gallipoli $1 "C" Counterstamp
1 x 1981 50c Flaking Obv
1 x 1971 50c Flaking Obv
1 x 2010 Rotated 50c.

In all, one of my better days of noodling.
