Great radar Flippy! Price wise it's hard to tell, but 8 digit ones would have to be uncommon.  |

You will need to forgive the photography skills, bur I'm on the road this week, and all I have is the Iphone. Anywhoo, I went to one of the major banks today, for the first time ever, and said "can I please have $100 of $1.00 coins. The teller said "Sorry, I can't do it" and followed up with "you'll have to wait, They're in the other safe". So, I waited for a bit, and eventually got my $100 of $1.00. Boyish charm, pity, or devotion to customer service, I don't know what it was. But I was soon happily on my way with my $100.00 worth. I would grade these as aUnc or better, and the centenary of federation has an almost mirror like look to it.From the first bag that I checked, still have $80.00 worth to go.   |

Hey guys! First time posting here. Hope you're all doing well. I only started to look at coins a few weeks ago, and I'm really not sure what's hot and what's not, but I have put aside some of the things that I've found the least of, working on the theory that statistically, they're more likely to be rare/sought-after. Here are my federations:  I don't think the women's day ones are particularly hard to come across, but I included them for some reason.  I included the dollar coin because it's non-standard and I found it on the floor of the bank when I was getting the 20s out! The thing in the middle came in a bag and doesn't appear to be a coin. I don't quite know what it is...  And, finally, I'm looking for some advice on what to do with these:  I picked up $200 worth of 20 cent coins that are, as far as I can tell, uncirculated 2012s. I haven't checked all of the bags (they came in the non-resealable $4 green bags) but the ones I have so far are all the same. The quality on all of them is really good: but is there much here? Should I keep a few bags and take the rest back to the bank? Should I put them on as a big lot on ebay? Should I keep all of them for a later date where they might be worth a little more? I don't know if they're only worth face-value, but I thought it was interesting to get 'untouched' coins. Thanks! Edited by Arnox

I was searching through some coins today and I found 1x 2011 20c 1x 2011 $2 1x 1979 aUnc 1x 1988 Proof (possibly silver) I think the 1988 may be a silver proof, I weighed it and it weighed 18.9g, rather that the normal 15.55g I hope it is silver proof       |

I don't know about the viability of selling them (though I'm sure someone else will) but I don't think they're a low mintage so I'd only be keeping a few of the nicer, less bag-marked ones for myself.

 to CCF Arnox some nice finds there.  I'd keep as many of the 'perfects' as I could afford. Sfitzernator, that's a nice looking federation. Flippy ..... what can I say .... WOW  |

Yep, it'd be silver. Catalogue lists a silver 50c at 18.24 grams as against 15.55 for a cupro-nick. It's amazing what can turn up in our circulating coinage.... |

Nice ones Sfitzernator. Love the 2008! Do you reckon the 1980 might be PMD? |

Hi Unicorn, and thanks, I do think it's PMD, just find it interesting the way the metal has moved. And the lack of damage to the obverse, apart from the tiny little rim nick. |
