My goodness Yass, I wish I had the time to spend with my coins that you seem to have to spend with yours! Very impressive!
I have started *really* looking at all my 5c's since reading your posts above, thanks for the inspiration.

Do you have a similar list of 'Type of Error' for the 50c in your database? If so I would be most grateful if you would be so kind as to share.

This posting lists the error/variety 50 cent coins found while noodling. I will post the other list that has coins that where found at least EF+, or low mintages. I call those TFC - Taken from Circulation.

Sorry for the problem with not being able to post good Excel Pivot tables. The list is all over the shop

I will have to checkout my 2004 Double Bar. I remember finding it some time ago. I have no idea where it is in my collection, so no pictures unfortunately.

My interest didn't last long. Too hard to format. I'll get around to the 20s and 10s at a later date.

In the last 2 weks that I've noodled (through a $2500 50c) I've managed to find 5 x 1966 round 50c coins (from 2 separate locations and the first I've found from circulation), 2 x incused flags and various other goodies for the keeping including a 1946 sixpence (as a 5c piece)!

wow. that is a huge score! I am surprised you would still get round 50's from any source. they are quite obvious as a coin variant.
the incused flag coin was what got me back into collecting. I found one in change - checked out the current price on ebay and caught the bug again.

Nice b_j_w, also I might sound a little dumb here but was the $2500 50c gotten in one go or over the 2 week period?

Hey All;

I only noodle 5 cent pieces. Took $370 back to the bank today... goodness took a long time using their machine, then the bag had to keep being changed! It was an experience, then had people lining up to use it behind me!

Then popped over to another branch to get another $100 out.

So far found 10 x 1972 5c pieces in $470 (and made them into sets) (had one awesome $100 bag where I got 4, only got the one today though).

And, to my delight, found my first 2010 5c piece!

Thanks again to this thread for getting me noodling. I'm thoroughly enjoying it, though I'm not looking for variations and Cud errors, only looking for date sets and for the 2007 double sided coin!

I have about $150 of 5 cents yet to search. The other $50 threw up a Fijian 5 cent and 2 New Zealand one. There was an assortment of Unc coins that I put aside. No 1972s and no 2010s.
