Just gone through them all.
Was going to have to keep 80% of them at one point but lifted the level of acceptable standard to aUnc with no scratches on queenies face.
darn picture coins - I feel the need to keep them!

Dont forget to check for the variety 50¢ coins? Eg. 1970 tilted 7, 1994 wide date, 1979 & 1980 Double Bars, 2000 Millennium Incuse.
Also low mintage years, 1972, 73, 74, 85, 88, 91, 93, 97, 2000 Royal Visit, all State 2001 Cof. (All under 10 million).(red= Very Low mintage)
And Mint Set Only years: 1986, 87, 89, 90, 92.

Don't forget the king of 20c pieces, the 1966 wavy 2. How in-depth are you going? Are you interested in varieties such as IRB spaced, joined etc? The 1981 Canadian 3 1/2 claw and so on?

wavy 2 right up there at the top.
I want to try and collect each variation of each coin in all decimal sets!
I have Greg McDonalds reference book which is great.

what a rollercoaster. I go to the bank today, grab $60 of 20c. 5 rolls in I think I find a wavy 2. I am not sure if it is or not. Local coin shop is not sure, (If you are on here - I was in this afternoon and bought the newspaper coin!). I have found a couple of state coins and 6 aUNC so I can call this a success and will do it again. Good weight training carrying the coins around town if nothing else. Still got two rolls to open, maybe the wavy 2 is in one of those!

You're doing well dibby! Keep us informed of your finds.  If you find a wavy before me, I'll be  and won't know what to do, but at least I'll be  for you!  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

Got another $60 at lunchtime. My wife thinks that I am insane.
Found a heap (6) of 1981 20c Canadian mints.
It is a bit chilly here. We had hailstones last week. I am from Scotland so it is not an issue for me though.

Another $60 today. Wanted 20c but the bank stated that they were running low. I think I have emptied the bank. Got $20 of .20 and $40 of .50 though.
...was thinking about doing charity work counting collection tins or something to get the coin view count up!

Hi,
I've been doing this for years. While not a customer, my local Westpac was more than willing to help out. I found some very nice $1 and 1997 and 1999 large head 10 cent pieces over the last 5-6 years. My best $1 was a 1992 brilliant UNC. I also picked up heaps of 2003 Vol $1. When they closed for renovations, I approached my own bank and the reception was not as helpful, but I got around that. I have found it easier to exchange notes for coin, as coin for coin is time consuming. I used to exchange around $1000 of $1 a week (no mules yet)don't do it as much now.

I scored a wide 1994 in change from safeway on thursday. I have my son do change runs from bank to bank while I do my fortnightly shop,keeps him occupied.We haven't found any varieties yet but we'll keep on digging. I scanned the 1994 ,its a bit battered but no complaints here, http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/...666/1994.jpgEdited by Agosos
