Ingine Valued Member Australia 122 Posts	Posted 10/26/2011 08:42 am 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! Report this Post to the Staff
Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 10/26/2011 5:16 pm 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. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
ozcoins Pillar of the Community Australia 1005 Posts	Posted 10/26/2011 5:57 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff
Ingine Valued Member Australia 122 Posts	Posted 10/28/2011 12:30 am 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. Report this Post to the Staff

Ingine Valued Member Australia 122 Posts	Posted 10/28/2011 10:39 pm 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 :) Report this Post to the Staff
Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 10/29/2011 09:13 am No MSO coins amongst them. I don't think I've ever found any MSO 5c's in the wild. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff

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 Report this Post to the Staff
ozcoins Pillar of the Community Australia 1005 Posts	Posted 10/29/2011 9:29 pm 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! Report this Post to the Staff
Ingine Valued Member Australia 122 Posts	Posted 10/30/2011 11:40 pm 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)! Report this Post to the Staff

ozcoins Pillar of the Community Australia 1005 Posts	Posted 10/31/2011 09:36 am 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.... Report this Post to the Staff
steve - Oz 50c man Valued Member Australia 490 Posts	Posted 10/31/2011 2:55 pm 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. Edited by steve - Oz 50c man 10/31/2011 2:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
