This thread really should be renamed to "The Buys of 23" at the rate I'm going, because I'm not finding anything in circulation or through noodling anymore.  Quote:
But anyway, another visit to the coin shop gave me five of the six GACH 2019 coins I still need, plus a well earned upgrade for my 2019 P... and the same visit yielded coins from five new countries... Nice Group!  Quote:
One dollar coins still to find: 2 (2019 F, 2021 X)  |

WEEK 34(21/08/23 - 27/08/23) The only find from noodling this week was a British two shillings coin from 1967 (still it's better than nothing, at least it's a new coin type!)  No stats this week

WEEK 36-37(04/09/23 - 17/09/23) Been really busy recently so I haven't had time to do weekly posts. But at least now I have some time to show what I've gotten. Firstly, foreign wise, I found a Kiwi 20 cent during a $100 noodle of 20 cent pieces (you do NOT know how painfully boring that noodle can get sometimes). I also got a small bag of foreign coins (both not shown) which included a 50 lira coin from Italy and a George VI British shilling. Then Australian wise, I bought the Aussie Big Things dollar coin set from Australia Post:  And I also got the 2015 $2 Red Anzac coin, which means that this hunt is about 90 percent complete!  Stats:Coins still to find: 6 1985 50 cent 2019 F $1 2021 X $1 2013 $2 Coronation 2018 $2 Armistice 2023 $2 Red and Black Vegemite

WEEK 38(18/09/23 - 24/09/23) This week's noodle of $100 of 5 cents yielded seven foreign coins, including a Malaysian 10 sen which I found on the end of a roll:  I also found a bunch of 80s coins which are absolute stunners and I naturally had to upgrade. Why is it always the five cents that have really high quality 1960s-1980s years? No stats

THE MONTH OF OCTOBER (Weeks 39-42)No, I'm not dead! Pure laziness is the reason I haven't posted any updates here for some time. Anyway, here's what I've bought this month. First of all, a few trips to the coin shops yielded a lot of foreign coins, including the new countries of Morocco, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Malawi, Tanzania, Guatemala, the East India Company, Argentina, Bulgaria and Costa Rica!   I also managed to visit the ANDA coin show in Sydney, and bought a lot of things. For foreign coins, I got my first coins from Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Rhodesia and Nysaland, Sudan, Southern Rhodesia, Denmark, Guyana, and Monaco.  And last but not least, the Australian coins! I managed to upgrade my 2019 JC 5 cent and my 2001 ACT Centenary. I also bought the letter X $1 coin from 2021, and the 2018 Armistice and 2023 Black Vegemite $2 coins!  According to my calculations, my Hunt is about 99.5% complete. Only 2 more coins to get, and one of them I'll be getting (hopefully) soon for $25. Try and guess what it is! Stats:Coins still to find: 2 (475/477) 1985 50 cent 2013 Coronation 2 dollar

WEEK 44(05/11/23 - 11/11/23) Yesterday I received a parcel from MachinMachinMan containing the last two coins I need to complete my collection of Australian circulation coins, a 2013 $2 purple coronation and a 1985 50c!  Therefore, I hereby declare The Hunt of 23 COMPLETE!      Thank you to DG and MMM for giving me inspiration for this goal. And MMM, your New Zealand goods will be in the mail soon! Thank you to Jbuck for your constant messages of support and enthusiasm throughout this hunt. I'll probably revive this thread every time a new collectable coin hits the market, but I'll just let this achievement sink in for a bit. I know about the Matildas and Dinosaur coins, but I didn't list them on my checklist cuz I wasn't bothered. Now the fun begins of upgrading, collecting 1 and 2 cents, and the NCLTs! Stats: 5 cents: Completed before hunt10 cents: Completed before hunt20 cents: Completed before hunt50 cents: 69/691 dollar: 131/1312 dollars: 94/94Total: 477/477
