.... whoa. I prefer noodling for static  , friendly  , often dirty coins  . No problem with "lovebites" from aligators, snakes, beavers, muskrats and snapping turtles (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noodling)Squire |

LOL oddcoins!!  I saw a Hamish & Andy special on TV once where they did the real catfish noodling. Legs backed into the riverbank holes and all. I was absolutely amazed at the size of the catfish they caught, not to mention the absolute lack of fear displayed by the young Americans showing them how to do it. Squire, that Gallipoli dollar is a great find  |

thanks "The Unicorn"  . I am finding that the 1 dollar coins are well worth noodling. Not only do you get the chance to find commemorative coins (not for circulation), but there is also the chance of finding that elusive 2000 $1/10cent mule !. So far I have found 4 "not for circulation" 1 dollar coins - shown below. Squire  Edited by Squire Wilson

Noodled $400 of 20¢ this week and much the usual haul. Did get a quite respectable 1972. Unusual to find an over 40 year old coin in this condition circulating.   Last night my wife brought home some coins she found in the till at work. Sometimes I wonder why I bother!  Jeff PS. Nice rotation penny d Edited by Jeff

Jeff, I reckon that '72 is the perfect reason to bother!
(But if your wife comes home with one like that .... give up)
Your wife does rather well too, she knows what she's looking for. The top right NI 20c looks pretty good.
Back up to Squire's finds. I love the Burke & Wills!

... thanks "The Unicorn". The best part of the "Burke and Wills $1 coin episode" was the thrill of finding this unique coin amongst the ordinary, grubby $1 coins in that roll   . Squire |

I've got 1 and 11 o'clock, am after the ones in between these and 12 straight, where they're just off being perfectly centred, you know, just when you can notice something is not straight. I use the reverse side as the reference as it's easy to line up the 1901 2001 lettering, and then see how straight the queen's crown looks. Gee, there's been some good finds coming in, and sure does come in useful to have a bank teller partner...! Jeff's '72 20c looks to have been sitting in a money box for most of its life...great pick up. |

That's pretty good going for a first noodle! Congratulations!  re: 1x 11 oclock 1980; Is this coin upset? (Rotated) If it is that's a great find!  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved
