Nancy, I have more 2006 than any others too and there are some years I haven't come across yet. Are there any you haven't found yet?
Still only half way through though!

All years are there, only 1 x 1972 though. I was a bit surprised to see even one.

Working on 2009, then only have 2006 to go, in between watching some tennis.

Watch out for 2 different sized SD's on the 2009. On the large SD ones, the body line in between the top spines is not visible.

Hi Nancy,
Thanks for the tip on the 2009.
I have found that in $100 you might get from 0 to 3 of the 1972.
Between me and a friend we would have looked through close to $1500 and neither of us has found one as good as posted at the start of this topic. I have a similar error, but the coin is in worse condition.

Thanks concerned!
Nancy- I have way more 2006 5cents than any others too. Are there any years you are yet to come across?
I'm still only half way through but am missing a few years so far.

Except 1972, all other years represented by at least 2 coins.

Well I've only found 5 1972's so far. And of course don't have '85 or '86 cause they only came in mint sets.
Still only half way through, I might do the rest tonight after work. Yes that's right I will spend my Sat night looking through coins - lucky I don't have a social life :)

No MSO coins amongst them.

I don't think I've ever found any MSO 5c's in the wild.

Wow ! You've found 5 1972's in just $20 worth? That is very impressive, you should get a tattslotto ticket.

I've looked through $30 worth and haven't found any 1972's .......they must have all been in yours

Nancy and Ingine,
Do not completely write off the chance of finding any 85 or 86 5c.
I thought that I the chance would be virtually zero, but I have found an 86 5c!

To be fair Mobofroos,the 5's I had been collecting in a tin for a few years. It's not that I went and bought a $40 bag and found them all at once :) By the way, how much is a 1972 5c worth these days? I see in 2004 it was worth $30 UNC. Obviously mine are very circulated.
Funny you say about the lotto ticket - I was just saying to a friend how I have had more 'wins' searching coins than I ever have playing lotto! And I gotta say it's much more fun doing coins too :)
Now to find an 85 or 86 (thanks for the tip ozcoins)!

Ahhh, just worked out what MSO stands for... has me scratching my head for a few minutes...
maybe a mod will see this and add it to the glossary...
thanks Nancyc for giving the old brain a workout and for teaching me something new!

MSO = Mint Set Only (I think)

I had a bit of a think about finding 85 and 86 5 cent coins, and think the chances are actually very remote - even though I have found one.

There were 170,000 1985 uncirculated sets and 180,000 1986 uncirculated sets.

Total for both years is 350,000
This is just a guess, but I would be surprised if even 5% get opened and put into circulation, which would be 17,500 coins.
Compare that with the "scarce" 1972 at 8,300,000 and I can hardly believe I found one at all....

yep, ozcoins beat me to the punch... Mint Set Only.
refers to a coin that was not issued for general circulation, but was issued in mint sets.
