I noodled $40 worth of 20c. $20 worth of 10c. $10 worth of 5c and the most remarkable thing about it was that THERE WERE NO NEW ZEALAND COINS !

Outstanding work Steve and only $6.25 noodled and found a mule.  If your not hallucinating after working 100 hour weeks I think it will take a lot to beat you in this weeks noodle frenzy.

If you did in fact find a mule you will notice in the competition rules that it must be surrended to me  What I would give to find one in change.

I unofficially noodled over the weekend and noticed that a lot of coins, particularly five and Twenty Cent coins, in the years 2006 - 2009 had very soft strikes. On the obverse, the three throat wrinkles, the ear and earring outline, and the small under-curl on the hairline (from the neck to the ear) were not evident. On the reverse, the strike was soft particularly noticeable on the eyes, nose, and left claw of the echidna, and on the body line and claws of the platypus. On the fifty cent coin, the kangaroo foot and the '5' in 50 had soft definitions and blurred into each other. This soft impression was so common, that I found it rare to find a clean strike. So my question is: Should I keep the soft strikes or the normal (and rarer in my noodling) clean strike coins?

Congratulations Steve! Looks very nice too! I think I am going to have to start noodling $1 coins. I have not looked at many of them yet.
