How good is that. The Centenary of Federation States have low mintage, 2 to 3 million only, so I think they are good finds. Same as the incused, low mintage. Wish I could find one. I have to buy one.

Hang in there Trainerman. Persistent noodling will eventually "wrinkle out" those incused 50 cent pieces for you  . For example, I normally noodle 200 to 300 50 cent pieces per week. I found the first incused on the 16th of January 2012, and the second last night. On both occasions, they were a surprise to me. On both occasions, they "made my day" !!. Look forward to seeing your first "incused", when you find it in your change, Trainerman. Good luck  Squire |

Incuse 50c have been very hard to find for me.
I have only found 1 and have looked through thousands of dollars of 50c.

I very rarely noodle but have still managed to snag an incuse 2000 I got in my change at the boozer at Pannawonica early this year. The other guys that work with me couldn't understand it when I jumped up exclaiming " You bloody little beauty " and holding my prize aloft  |

They eventually come out. I've lost track of the 50c I have now noodled but it would be several tens of thousands of dollars worth and have found 4 incuse. Theyre much less frustrating than the wavy 66 and I'm starting to think i'll never find another one of them.

Well done on finding that Incused 50 cent. I'm still waiting for one...  Those States coins are getting very hard to get by noodling, especially the 20's. I went through $100 of 20c earlier today and only found the one. 2 Bradmans was ok, but no UN's or either of the Volunteer ones in the 500 coins I went through... Trainerman, did you check for rotated die 2010 50 cents? Ooooh, I'd love to bag one of these...Squire refers to them as Twist Tops - I like that!! |

Hi penny-dreadful (also trainerman) I think you are putting in an awesome "noodling" effort . So I think it will only be a matter of time (not too much time, judging by the number of coins that you are going through) before you will find an incused. Funny thing is, the incused design is clear, but not striking. So after looking at the nth 2000 millenium coin,  , you suddenly realise "You Bloody Little Beauty" (to quote trout1105)   !. Also, with your conscientious recording you will be in a good position to work out statistics - eg. Chance of finding an "incused" Chance of finding a "wavy" Chance of finding a "2000 $1/10 cent mule". All the best Squire Edited by Squire Wilson

Hi penny and Squire. By rotated die, you mean that one side of the coin is at a different degree than the reverse? Best way I can describe it.
Cheers

Thanks enworb. Yes, I check all my coins for that error with no results yet. I'll keep checking though.

When the upsets or rotations get more severe they become harder and harder to find. I generally cant be bothered looking for them specifically when I noodle because they take up too much time.

The chase is nearly as much fun as the catch....I'd be able to get an Incused or Rotated coin off a dealer or ebay pretty easily, but that'd take a bit of fun in the 'chase' I'd love to find one 'in the wild' I'd recommend looking for Upset Die coins Enworb. All you'd need do is concentrate on the known ones: 2010 50 cents, 2001 Dollar, 20 cents. The 50's are easy to check; I just hold at 6/12 o'clock in fingertips, and spin them from front to back - upsets will stick out like the proverbial. |

What coins/years have you found as upset dies? I'm trying to noodle for coins on the 3/9 o'clock or more range, up to the 180 degree - 6 o'clock These striking upsets are in the 2001 20's and dollars; there's someone who's got a set of the 2001 Federation dollar in all the degrees of rotation The 2010 50 cents are just off by one point, I'm not sure if they're any more rotated than that. |
