Noodling finds

Yep, circulated Federation sets still make some useful dollars on Ebay.

Why would anyone buy a "circulated " set of these coins when there are "uncirculated" sets out there for similar price or a little bit more ?

Well, I went to the bank today and came back with 200 one dollar coins. One small step for noodling but a giant leap for this novice noodler. :yahoo: It took my about an hour to go through them. I found half a dozen coins for my circulation set (which I began just couple of days ago) including a 1984 that is almost Unc. There were 1 or 2 older coins in similar grade, so I'm hopeful of putting together a nice set.

I found a 1996 Sir Henry Parkes which I quite like. He looks ghostly at the best of times but here, he's simply ehthereal. :zomby:



I found this as well:



Is it called a mis-strike? The rev. is similar and suggests the dies were not concentric. :-/

Off-centre strike. We had a discussion about these not long ago, with the consensus being 2mm or more qualifies as a keeper. I tend to keep them under that, especially dollars where there's a split as well.

Just found a 2001 CoF upset... 270° I think (Goldy will correct me, no doubt)... top of head points left.

And a gorgeous 2010 MoR (sadly a bit of cancer between the A and 2) with a massive double cud... rabbit ears plus complete fill between the top two roos.

Oh, and three "normal" rabbit ears, and a small handful of minor erros.. this is a good bag so far.

I also have a dollar with a rabbit ear,s and a spew roo all on the one roo .  

Any chance of a pic to compare to this one? Sounds similar, though all the spews I've seen previously were smaller than this double cud.

"Off-centre strike" Thanks Fulvio I will do a search for that thread. I would say this one is 1mm.

Edit: Found the thread in question.

Hey Fulvio

This one might help, it was a 2006 spew roo with rabbit ears and a MAD (mis-aligned die) or Off-centre strike that I had recently.

I don't like that Parkes coin. I have an UNC and proof of that and they even look dull (no wonder circulateds usually look pretty shit). I put that down to poor design ( or checking first, sample strikes).

But, that one is out of the box.
