What a load of squat...literally nothing, although there were some interesting bits at the top of the shield from a few 2006-2008 coins. Have a look below. Here are a couple of 2006's: Extended:  Extended with slight Cud:  A 2007: Hard to take a photo of this one; very bright, but it looks like a cross between polished dies & a clash (but it's not a clash)  A couple 2008's: Similar to the previous coin:  A nice bunch of cuds/doubling:  Apart from that there was a 1969 in VF condition. There were 3 x coins with pre-cuds (or areas that would form Cuds at some point during their later production). Two 1994 wide date family coins. Two centenary NSW coins. A dud bunch, there were a half a dozen 2000 Millenium's but not the one that we all want. I can accept defeat...or shall I say, I have already accepted defeat.  |

I thought I would participate even though I'm running the show and I chose 5c in thehope I might snag a misstrike and a 1972. Nothing of the sort! I did get a UNC 1966 which I thought was neat.

I have carefully inspected some 50c so far. I have some Cuds, 1 2001 state and a few nearly uncirculated ones, but nothing outstanding (like an incuse). Edited by ozcoins

I failed to get the pasta order in. No job just now and have less spare time than when I was working! How does that work? I have a second interview 2mrw arvo so hopefully I get that and will have some spare time! LOL ...and the job is just around the corner from my regular bank :-)

The highlight for my search was a 1985 50c. I looked closely at all the coins and found a few 2005 robe Cuds, a 1979 double bar, a 1980 double bar, a couple of 2006 lip Cuds, a large chin Cud (2005?), a few 2001 with doubling and 1 2001 state coin. |

I examined 200 50cent coins. I found 1 Charles and Di, 1 Queensland Centenary of Federation and 2 Western Australia Centenary of Federation. Last night I looked at 100 $1 coins (not part of the Noodle Frenzy comp, but just out of interest), and found a nice Cud near the "1". Will show a pic of this in the "$1 Errors" topic soon  .

I am randomly collecting all non definitive 50 Cent and one dollar coins into a 2 litre jar. Will sort the lot when full. Could be fun!

Looks like it was pretty slim pickings all round, but so far I find ozcoins finds the most interesting due to the 85 and the Cuds - did you check for 94 wides, and did we have any note noodlers over the weekend? |

Did not make it to the bank. My second interview went okay. Danger now is that I might get the job! Sure would be nice. (I got some redundancy cash which I am using just now for bills etc. If I get this job it will be found money! Not millions, but enough to have some serious fun with!)

Second go at noodling, $100 of $1 and $200 of 50c, these are what I found. 3 double bar 50c, 2x 1979, 1x 1980. 1x 1991 Rams Head 50c. 1x 2001 Centenary of Fed NSW 50c. 1x 2001 " " Vic 50c. 1x 2003 $1 Making a Difference. Only 4 mill minted. 1x 2005 $1, 60th anniversary of WW2 with Cud at the tip of his hat. 1x 2004 $1 with double rim (I think this is what you call it). 1x 2006 $1 with very partial double rim. That's all for me. |

Some nice finds trainerman, but I think that was a few more coins than the 200 coin limit for the competition.
You will have to watch out....
This searching thing is surprisingly addictive!
