I haven't reporting my finds for a few days as they are not very exciting.

In saying that, I have picked up 5 x "S" Privy marked coins and a couple of others so my spares have diminished quite a bit.   I still have a several "A" available.

Got two foreign coins in a batch of 1500 x $1 today.   First foreigners for a while.

I shall be off line for a couple of days as the wife lost a cousin a couple of days ago and we will be off to Griffith NSW for the funeral.

 circulated , but not to bad .

Ok guys .. Probably a silly question but a friend in the UK has asked me how did we Aussies come up with the term "Noodling" to describe the process of sifting through hundred/thousands of circulation coins to find oddities/rareties etc?

Cheers Mike

I think it comes from Opal Miners who used to go through the mullock heaps after a big bang or being brought up from the mine shaft.  To Noodle means to LOOK, SEARCH etc me thinks.

In saying that, I noodled a new find today me thinks:   The pictures are below:



2019 Kangaroo "U" privy Mark with neck cud on first Roo.

I went through some 5c, 20c and 50c pieces.
I added a few 5c pieces to last week's pile of years with known varieties for a closer look and found a 1987 high echidna when I when through them. It has taken a while.
In the 20c pieces I found a NSW, a couple of Taxation Office, a Royal Wedding and a couple of Canberra centenaries.
Only highlight from the 50 pieces was a 1988.

There were 2018s for each denomination as well.

Just finished searching 2,500 x $1 coins for the following:

1 x 1996 Sir Henry Parkes - Rotation;
1 x 2008 Kangaroo - Rabbit Ear;
2 x 2018 Commonwealth games - Swimming and Tennis;
1 x 2000 HMAS Sydney 11 - "C" Mint Mark;
1 x 2005 Gallipoli - "S" Counterstamp.

Well done Goldie! You certainly keep coming up with the goods! I can't believe you got another Parkes. :good:

[jens coins]

Well done Goldie.
Was that from Thursdays lot?

[Goldseeker]

No Jen, that above was from one of the clubs close to where I live.

I have done 3500 of your coins you got for me for virtually nothing.


I still have three bags to go of your coins to find something interesting.

[Mister T]

Went through some 5c pieces - nothing special; not even a New Zealand.
I also got a 2017 10c piece recently - only the second I've found I think.
