Today I noodled...

[Mister T]

I got a 1941 sixpence and a 1972 5c from $22 of 5c pieces today.

I've also seen another 2015 $10 note a few 2014 $50 notes lately.

WOW
Finding silver other than the round 50c is extremely rare these days .:yahoo:
Well done Mate :good:

[Mister T]

Indeed - that's the second in maybe three months. Someone must be feeding them for the fun of it.

[rollycoins]

Got these after going through $2000 worth of them. Not too bad I reckon... Other finds were some mistrikes and minor rim errors which are not in the photos. Are 2012 standard ones worth keeping?

I've found a couple of sixpences as well. The rolling machines can't tell the difference between them and the 5c. :winkextra:

I used to think so, but I've noodled over 120 of them now, so I only keep the ones that don't have any blemishes. :ok:

[JeffH]

That was quite a decent haul for a bag of $2 Herc. I am halfway through my fourth $1 bag for this week and haven't found much at all; one NCLT, mint your own (poor condition) and a few common ones in better than usual condition (not one error so far -bring on the mules or upsets, I say). Not even one rabbit ears!

Haha yea they are indeed quite common for their mintage. I got 8x 2012, 2x 2011 and 2x 2000 ones from that pack.

Had my first serious go at noodling this week and here are the results

11x 2014 Green remembrance $2
13x 2015 Orange Remembrance $2
9x  2012 Remembrance $2 (plain Poppy)
10x 2016 Paralympic $2
10x 2016 Red Olympics $2
12x 2016 Yellow Olympics $2
12x 2016 Green Olympics $2
8x  2016 Black Olympics $2
10x 2016 Blue Olympics $2
2x  2016 Changeover $2
1x  2015 Red Anzac $2 (My first one ever)

But the cream of the crop was 4x 2013 Coronation $2 coins... I've been looking for one for the past few years without any luck but then I get 4 in one day! :yahoo: One is a bit beat up and looks like it has done the rounds but the other 3 are in really good condition!

LucasJ  what state are you from

They are excellent results.

[LucasJ]

Northern NSW (almost on the border) Yeah I was quite surprised also, I doubt I will ever get a result like that again!

[Hercules]

I bet someone collected them and then threw them back into circulation, because that is well above my statistical average. I usually only find 5 or 6 coloured coins per $2000, and most of them are Olympic ones nowadays. All the earlier ones are extremely scarce, except for the orange one, which still appears periodically.

I bet someone collected them and then threw them back into circulation,

:agreed:
Looks like part of a collection "Dump" especially with the 4x Purple stripes in the mix.

[Ozcoins]

Lucas,
How many coins did you search through?

[LucasJ]

Oz I went through 12 bags so $600 worth. I had the same thoughts obviously someone probably a shopkeeper has cashed in their stash as the majority came from 5 bags the rest was one here and there. Every other time I buy a few bags I am lucky to get 2 or more coloured coins.

[interest]

So out of 300 coins, you were lucky enough to score 98 coins.
good result
