Hi all. Work has been a killer the last few months but I finally got to do some noodling over the last week (I had the shakes from withdrawals  ). I got some coins from a school fundraiser as well as a heap from the bank. Here are some of the finds so far! $340 5c1972 x 9 2012 x 2 Not much else of huge interest but I kept all of the pre-1980, 1990, 1991 and 1993. No 2007 double head. $400 10c 1972 x 1 1977 x 17 1985 x 2 1991 x 3 1997 x 5 1999 large head x 5 No 2011 yet! 2012 x $200 - in $4 security bags (let me know if anybody is interested in buying/swapping )I'm about to start $300 in 20c and $1000 in 50c. I'll let you know how I go!

9x 1972 5c is a very very good hit rate from $340

I Noodled $200 of 20 cent pieces last week and only got 1 x Donald Bradman, 1 x mangled UN and about 15 x 3.5 claw, gots heaps of volunteers, World at war and Wills and Kate but that's it, very dissapointed. Also did $200 of $1 coins and got a nice delamination and did $100 of 50 cents but cant remember what I got! Will post the results tomorrow.

This turned up in a change bag yesterday. I don't think any would still be circulating from pre-'66. Possibly someone found it tucked away and thought best thing to do was spend it. Wrong!  Looks quite dark in the scans but actually quite shiny. Jeff
