How are all the noodlers going?

[Nevol]

My pleasure Nick. We are all :friends: here.

[Unicorn]

Nice work Jeff! :good:

Also nice rotations Nick, great stuff and :welcome: to the forum.

Hi Unicorn, Thankyou.
good find Jeff (red wine drinker). Got a nice Shiraz from nth east vic today if you're interested. Cecchanti 2009. $15.99 at beechworth IGA. Regards and Merry Christmas to all

Perhaps in the silly season we can refer to you as St. Nick! :laugh2:

I've not found a rotated 1966 and reckon if you've just started then indeed you are blessed.

PS: Uni is good, typical Aussie abbreviations, I'm sure we'll find some Knights of Ni references for you.

Hi Nick,
Good result with the 1966 10¢. I have found a few upsets -mainly 2001 $1 and 2010 50¢- but never a 10¢. I have about $150 of 10¢ to go through in the next few days so, maybe this time? The best upset I've found is a 2001 20¢.


I was in Beechworth the week before last and shared some red wine but it was some I took with me from interstate. I will check out the local IGA and see if they have the Cecchanti.

Happened to stop into a shopping centre on Friday with a change machine. Couldn't walk by without weighing myself down with as many rolls as I could carry. Got straight into noodling through and managed my very first partial collar 5c. It's probably the most serious error I've ever found noodling, I only seem to find NCLT, rim cuds and small planchet flaws.

Wow! That's a great find PPH! :good:

[JeffH]

Good one PPH. I assume a photo will be posted soon?
I am a sucker for change machines. Was in Mudgee Friday and wife wanted to go to Coles. I left her there and walked to CBA, two minutes away, which has a change dispenser. Card in hand I went to adjacent ATM to grab some notes for the change machine and saw "Out of Service"!
"Never mind" I thought, "there is an ATM outside the door that I just walked past and someone was using it so it is good to go." I just happened to glance at the change machine as I turned around and twigged why the long queue (almost out into the street); "Out of Service" too.
So no stock of rolls for me this long weekend. :fie:

Great find PPH. :yahoo:   Which year is it?

[Goldseeker]

Lucky you PPH.   A nice xmas present at no cost.   Well done.

[nick300]

PPH, what a great find.
I'm now on the lookout for planchet errors.

[ausjack]

Some great finds recently team, well done :good: One day soon I'll have to have a noodle, after more odd jobs are done other wise I get carried away and my odd jobs don't get done :blush2:

Although it's been some years since I did any serious noodling, I encourage everyone to really consider noodling some 5 Cents. I recommend using at least a 10x Loupe, even if your eyesight is 20/20. Examining the edge is the crucial bit to identifying a 'collar' error.

This is a list of some of my 'Out of Collar' 5 Cents that I found. I'll put some images in a thread just for 'Collar errors" once I find them.  I think there are some years that I have multiples of.

2001 Tilted
2002 Tilted
2003 Tilted  
2004 Tilted
2005 Tilted
2006 Tilted & Straight
2008 Tilted

I believe many of them are Ramstrikes as well, but not sure how many / which ones.

I've just updated the following thread about Collar Errors. I did a search in the forum for 'collar' and we should now have a fairly comprehensive list of all that have been reported here.

If you have any 'collar' error coins and you're not on the list, just tell us what you have and I'll include it.  It's just a list, so no image required unless you feel like showing off your 'collars'.
