Yass Pillar of the Community Australia 652 Posts	Posted 01/24/2011 11:17 pm Peter, I suspect you are right. There were 306 million minted in 2006 and 200m in 2009. Report this Post to the Staff
happy New Member Australia 3 Posts	Posted 02/03/2011 07:09 am Hi Guys, I just stumbled onto this forum. It's good to see I'm not the only 1972 5 cent tragic around. I was told in 1977 to start collecting them, so I did. 346 coins later, I'm still looking Report this Post to the Staff

happy New Member Australia 3 Posts	Posted 02/04/2011 06:35 am I found it's almost like a drug. I decided to put them in coin trays, each holds 99, so I did the first, had a couple of extra coins, did another, had a couple of extras again, etc etc. I am on my 4th tray, I would like to do 5, because there is a 5 tray carry case available, but then, what if I find more? Prices are getting ridiculous on ebay. I also do the $20 5c bags from the banks, but it is getting hard. I have a few UNC, and proof. I kick myself for not going high enough for the mint roll that went through on ebay Report this Post to the Staff

No doubt you'll come to a logical conclusion to continue with your OCD. At least they're small and don't take too much space. Are there any other coins that you 'obsess' about? life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff

Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 02/04/2011 8:20 pm according to Dr Phil - is it illegal ? does it jeopardize your health, your employment, or your relationships ? if "No" to all of the above, then it's harmless, and the biggest label you can hang on it is "fetish". Dr Phil understands collectors. Peter Report this Post to the Staff

In consequence it has lost most of its original mint bloom. noodle, noodle, noodle: keep on noodling ! Report this Post to the Staff
Enlil Pillar of the Community Australia 560 Posts	Posted 03/15/2011 11:20 pm Peter I checked the annual reports from the min, and the number of 5 cents for 2009 were 52.478 million. That is from the second half of 2009, contained in the 09-10 report. No 2009 coins were minted in the first half of 2009. Report this Post to the Staff
