Noodling Find Of The Week?

A very tough coin to find. Well done

Hello all,
i started cashing my notes for coins at my local milk bar, day 1:

2 x $20 mixed $1's, and 1 x $10 10c
results

$1 2001 RAAF coin(not in circulation and low mintage 60k?

3 x 1977 10c 1 x 71 1x 72

stoked about the $1 had to look it up!and now I think back to as a teenager,working years in milk bars myself, passing up all the rare coins,notes(was getting paper notes still in 2004, I kindly accepted of course) all the test notes and errors I palmed off,because I saw it so often did not pay attention) silly boy,

moral of this story, think outside the normal coin stashes,remember when people get desperate,and are short on $ they will use anything to get what they want, and sometimes you hit a nice one :)i had a friend who once got a gold coin that had been used as a $2? gold back then was %500oz, desperate stupid people don't stop to think, I know this as I have been one, but none no more,as I seek to find some treasure I have lost!

My son found this note in his change and has kindly passed it on to a good home!

Yes, I was a very happy lad when he gave it to me. It's probably VF, perhaps VF+ at a pinch.

Jeff straying away from 20c and 50c nice find

I am noodling 20¢ this week (just about to start) and wasn't noodling $1 coins as such. This morning I noodled my wife's purse looking for a few spare 50¢ to make up the numbers for last week's bank returns. I found this multiple rabbit ears, a Bradman 20¢ and a Qld 20¢.
Rather a good return from about $10 of coins.

I think this one looks more like a bunch of streamers than ears.
