Hullo Nick, please keep up the good work and welcome to the hobby! You are exactly what this hobby needs someone fresh who looks at coins and sees things that are different. I had forgotten about the rotated 66 10 cents, as you point out is well documented with a simple web search, and i'm an old timer who should know better! Now I have to drag out all the decimal coins I have collected in shoe boxes over the years and go through the 10cents just in case. Don't worry about statistical methods indicating whether its likely to find something or not, I was handed a 1916 shilling in my change some years ago while shopping and to me that was not a "million to 1" thing but a 100% find! Just keep looking for the 100% things like 2000 $1 mules, missstrikes and odd die combinations that are floating in the pond waiting for a finder. Be one of the finders, ignore the statistics and keepi the 100% theory!
Cheers, Fred Lever.

Thanks Fred, it really is an enjoyable hobby. Since I'm only learning, I tend to look at ebay to see what people are posting in the way of errors and varieties. If I see something that strikes an interest, I then smash into downies or TDK APDC , or even the RAM sites. There is so much info out there that if you think outside the box a little bit you can kick some goals. 
Today I was given a 2015 10 cent singapore coin in a bag of 5 cents. Also found an 1878 half penny in a tin of mixed stuff in an antique store. Not in great condition but pretty good for a coin 139 years old. 

Thanks for the encouragement. Merry Christmas to All.

Mark and PP who own and run this site are the authors of that blog and it's a fantastic resource so have a good look around there and you might be amazed at what you can find :good:

"Ausjack". That's AJ for short (just before he jumps in and says that anyway -saves typing).

This noodler is going well this morning. Just did a batch of $1 coins and two bundles (five x $20 bags) did not have one Mob of Roos coin. One bag was only 2002 Outback coins.
And some very nice condition ones in there.
Definitely not a random assortment! Should happen more often I think.

Early Christmas present Jeff! :good:
