Squire Wilson Pillar of the Community Australia 653 Posts	Posted 04/22/2012 03:32 am Good point CoinMan Tim. Your efforts put me to shame though . I usually only go through 100 coins a night. $1, or 50 cents or 20 cents. Alternating the denominations for variety . However, that gives me the chance to inspect the coins more closely. As I do not feel rushed in looking at this modest number of samples. Squire Report this Post to the Staff
enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 04/22/2012 03:39 am I once noodled $400 of $2 coins and it only took 15 minutes. As Tim said $400 of 5c would last for 3-4 hours, much more entertainment for the same cost. Report this Post to the Staff

If you said that to a non coin collector they would think you were mad Are mules still turning up in circulation? After 12 years and the high noodling incentive due to value, I'm sure there couldn't be many left. Report this Post to the Staff

keldaw2222 Valued Member Australia 428 Posts	Posted 04/24/2012 06:29 am we spent all day in town today going through $ dollar coins looking for mules , not a one found between 3 of us, plenty of other things but no mules. the one place where we used to get lots of old dollar coins has no more now , useing newer coins and all the old ones have gone now , so I think the mules coins will be very hard to find as the years are moving on and soon the prices will skyrocket up so if you really want one or more go for it now or miss out ...i am very happy with my lot and thankfully I got them at the low , low price too.. keldaw 2222 Edited by keldaw2222 04/24/2012 06:31 am Report this Post to the Staff

keldaw2222 Valued Member Australia 428 Posts	Posted 04/24/2012 8:10 pm o yes they are around alright but the only way to get one for sure is to buy one ,not the cheapest way to get one but the surest way to get one , you can look for years and not find one . and they are getting scarcer and costing more as the years roll on .. if you see one and want it bad enough and it is the right price for you , grab it ...

Keldaw, your previous post inspired me to have a serious bid on this coin as it is high grade and beautifully centred. Report this Post to the Staff
appleangel07 Pillar of the Community Australia 1607 Posts	Posted 04/27/2012 11:00 pm The prices are a bit inconsistent sometimes,like all listings good pictures are essential & I think some better coins have under achieved. This is one coin that was a very good buy IMO,i bet the buyer will be very happy when they receive it with very little damage,unfortunately for the seller the photo's just don't do the coin justice,if I had of had the $$$ when this coin was finishing I would have jumped on it without a doubt,i was hoping to have a win on OzLotto so I could bid but that did'nt happen sadly. Good on the buyer who did win it though,they got a great buy. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAP...p=true&rt=nc Report this Post to the Staff
