I brought home some bags of $2 from the bank today. That makes me feel optimistic.
Thinking is dangerous, it makes you think. That\'s why many people avoid it.

Well I went through the $2 coins and every one an Aboriginal elder reverse; no errors and no low mintage years. That's noodling for you. Now I remember why I am not that keen to noodle $2 coins. Saving grace is you can get through a large value of coins quickly.
Maybe I will have better luck with the 20¢ I have for the weekend.

Yes, well done (with a tinge of jealousy).

Noodling a $100 bag of 20c pieces and found/came across this one:

A 2001 $0.20c piece upset.   Angle measured by me to be at 19 degrees.

But not quite as good as this one:

Measured at 266 degrees.

That last one is a great upset Goldie!!!! :good:

Still, 19º is a good upset -OK not as good as 266º.
Slight upsets are not uncommon in 2001 20¢ but larger ones are scarce.
This is the best one of those I have noodled.

That one is a good upset.

I think the one I have at 266 degrees was sent/given to me by a forum member.

Lets hope I can find some more.   In saying that, I did throw two 10 degree upsets back into the pond earlier today.
