In what way is that 1999 Kiwi 5 cent an upset coin. Looks fairly typical to me. When saying an 'upset' coin I think that MachinMachinMan is referring to a rotated die.

Only finds of interest were these foreign "imposters" Fun finds though.

Day 26Searched through a $100 bag of 5c coins. That's 2000 coins so surely there would be a 1972 amongst them... There were only 163 Machin effigy coins (1966-1984) and none had 1972 on them.  Only Australian finds of interest were a change-over and 3 2019 JCs.  Luckily some foreign finds kept things relatively interesting   Among a dozen kiwi 5c coins was a very nice 1985  You don't often see George VI in circulation around here  The search continues... Total number of 5 cent coins noodled: 4400 Number of different coins found: 57 Number of coins still to find: 1

:The foreign coins are a nice surprise to noodle for your eyes now and then. Surely you will get the 72 in the next batch.  |

Yes it's all a matter of luck. It seems the more you want to find a coin the longer it takes.

When you find the first one the second will show up right after that, good luck.

Day 38Noodled $50 worth of 5 cent coins and found absolutely nothing of interest. No 1972, no change-over, no 2019 JC Usual half a dozen kiwi 5c and none of them were even a 1972. Total number of 5 cent coins noodled: 5400 Number of different coins found: 57 Number of coins still to find: 1

That 1972 is elusive alright, I have 3 spares - if you honestly can't get one - I will send you one.
The scarce NZ 5 cent is 1973, with just 1 million minted.
Loving Halfcrowns. British and Commonwealth coins 1750 - 1950 and anything Kiwi.
If it's round, shiny and silvery I will love it.

Total number of 5 cent coins noodled: 5709 Number of different coins found: 58 Number of coins still to find: 0
