Wow Mr T! That's a great result from $60! Keep it up!

Mister T

Yeah I'm normally happy with the one or two I normally get (for some reason the 50c pieces are more common than the 20c pieces).
From 12 rolls of 20c pieces I just found a Western Australia and that was it really.
Nothing exciting from six rolls of 5c pieces either.

Quote from: 'Mister T' pid='116660' dateline='1536319445'Went through six rolls of 50c pieces and surprisingly got an ACT, Tasmania and Western Australia. There was also a Mabo 50c.

The Federation Coins are back in circulation again,to a degree,local Tab Shop owner collects all variety Oz. coins for me and i've had a steady supply for over a year now.Surprisingly many are close to Unc. so people have had them stored somewhere before spending.
Only problem is they are not worth much anymore as the feeding frenzy died out over 10 years ago,i've picked up many on Ebay for close to face with no one bidding.

Indeed and early year (commemoratives and coat of arms), in close to UNC, have been appearing a lot here recently. Some 20¢ and $1 coins, but not as many, too.
Must be quite a few people cashing in their hoards. The local bank keeps any sizeable coin deposits for me and often a large percentage of 'keepers' in them. I am now getting to the stage where I am actually discarding some coins that are only EF!

I would be a lot happier if I could find some 2001 COF Upsets and some Mules.

Yeah I had a look on ebay recently and the 50c pieces were quit cheap (which makes sense as I'm seeing a few too).
The 20c pieces still seemed pricey but I guess they'll start dropping soon enough.

Went through another 1500 x $1 coins for the following:

1 x Rotated Sir henry Parkes;
1 x Coat Of arms "M" Privy mark
1 x Flaking Planchett Obv

Yes they are.

I think I have six now, one in my used collection and five spares.

Are they all they same degree of rotation Goldie?

I've seen 3 different degree angles so far with the Parkes.

Mister T

Went through some 50c pieces and found a 1975 Fiji 50c piece - it has been years since I've seen a Fijian 50c piece in change or a roll.
Only other interesting thing was a standard 2017. There were a few nice 1981 Royal Weddings and a nice 1982 but I let them go.

JeffH

I just found two Fiji 50¢ in a $200 bag. Rather good condition too.
