I went through $50 of 10c looking for 72, 77, 85, 91, 97.
I found
1 * 72
5 * 77
0 * 85
2 * 91
1 * 97
The third coin in your picture just looks worn to me.

1x66
1x67
3x68
5x69
1x71
2 or 3 1972 soaking in water right now not sure
5x77
1x85
1x97
3x09
8x2010 these last 2 I'm keeping on speculation, that there will be a low minatge 10 cent piece pop up in the next year or 2.
thats all from $40 worth of tens, and we have noodled around $20 of 5 cent pices for about 40 keepers, will be getting another 15 of something tomorrow :)

The word "Noodling" in the title caught my attention so I read this thread. Would someone down under there please tell this curious Yank what the Australian definition is? It obviously doesn't have the same meaning as it does around here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noodling Thanks! |

from a newb, its searching for error or rare date coins, in money obtained for that purpose, ie, I started of getting 2x$2 roles of 5 cent pieces, then searched through all those to find any low mintage or error coins, I found a couple so kept them, and went from there, next week I will buy $25 to search through. but I an sure someone can explain it better than me.

Thanks erkle! You explained it perfectly. It sounds like something someone could easily get addicted to.

Forty long years ago I spent a week learning a few of the many different ways we in the US and you down under have taken the English language! Thank you again for your hospitality, your friendliness and for letting me think we were speaking the same language!

We also use the Term Noodling for finding above ground opal on mullock heaps. Same thing as coin noodling really, searching through what others have thrown out in the hope of finding something good they didnt see.

dont know if thats what we call it but it happens. 8 weeks back myself and 2 other disabled mates out for a sunday ride, watched a shop dump 8 cartons of drinks, we took them home. 3 weeks back the boy came home with enough cat food to last us another month for 2 cats from the same bin. when a new store target opened in town, within a month I was collecting half dead plants to revive and give away, they dumped em in the bin, silly buggers could of gave them to charity to give away or sell cheap.
