To see some of the differences in the 2 types of 2003 $1 Suffrage coins, look here: https://goccf.com/t/140674I will be adding to the new topic as I get more images ready, but it might take me a while.  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

Not strictly noodling, but fairly close, as was a nice accidental find: 1924 Indian obverse variety penny, with filled 4 error. While the filled 4 is fairly frequently seen in the more common London obverse, this is the first I have seen with the scarcer Indian obverse. I am informed that they are out there, but not seen very often. Might hold on to this one for a while ..... (till I find a better one)   |

I posted pics of an upset 2010 50¢ from the week's noodling. But, some other nice "keepers" too. So I thought some pics of those could be encouragement to those thinking of doing some noodling. These are the pick from $600 of 50¢ in rolls and mixed $210 of 50¢ and 20¢ that were cashed in over the counter at the local bank. They represent a little less than half of what I will retain -most of the others are duplicates. Some 20¢. I do really like to find a nice, older one like that 1975.   Some 50¢.   Some double bars.   Some foot/robe Cuds.   Why not give it a go. Quite fun to find some good ones and they only cost face value. [Do not try to factor your time into the cost or you may discourage yourself. Remember; it is only a hobby.] Jeff |

Most commonly found on 1979 and 1980 dated coins. The 1966 defintely can display faint double bars and I have heard reputable reports of 1993 and 1996 dated coins displaying very faint bars.

... mind you, Shanew is going to be king of "wavy capital"  when he shows a pic of those "rolls" of wavy coins (as per "could I have found a 2006 $1 proof" topic). Nudge, nudge shane . Would love to see a photo ...  Squire |

How many is that you have found now? Well. lets see; •I have four here •I have sold five on ebay•I swapped one for a 1925 + 1946 penny and the same person bought another one. That makes... (add it up yourself). [Several years involved there.] Not the wavey capital here but this address could be the noodling capital! Of the ones I have I am keeping the best two and hoping to parley the other two into a 1938 crown or a 1935 Melbourne florin. Either sell them and use the proceeds or, preferably, do a swap. Let me know if you might be interested. But you will have to wait for an answer. I leave home tomorrow at 5am and, by this time tomorrow night will be having a nice cold Fiji Bitter at the hotel in Nadi. They have internet in Fiji but, as soon as I arrive, I go onto "Fiji Time".

Fabulous find Jeff. Even though it shows it has had a long life, it is still a wavy. I'm on Unicorn's score for finding these....0.....  To have found 10 is pretty amazing; the harder you look the luckier you'll get, I suppose!! I guess there won't be many over in Fiji..... |

... have a great time in Fiji, Jeff   Will you be able to resist the urge to visit a local bank and ask for a bag of Fijian coins for "noodling" back at the resort ?  Squire |
