Noodling (Coin Roll Hunting)

Shouldn't you be serving customers ?

Only joking, I'm actually very jealous.

The 3 highest profile (and rarest) coins to look out for are:

$1 2000 mule. Check the queens head side of any year 2000 $1 to see if there is a double rim.

20c 1966 wavy. Check each 1966 20c to see if their is a bulge at the base of the 2.

5c 2007 double headed. Pretty much self explanatory.

Each one of these is worth anything from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, depending on condition.

Someone here probably has a picture of the 2000 50c incuse variety which you are talking about, it is quite well shown and explained in Greg McDonald's 2012 coin guide.

There are other wide date varities, mistrikes, Cud errors which others may know more about but it's not my area of collecting.

I can't believe you get to do that as a job , I've thought of noodling before (just because I enjoy looking at coins), question for others though, if you ask for $200 worth of 20c coins (do you need to ask your bank ahead of time) and also how do you return them (do you need to roll them or does the bank just weigh the bag).

But my job definitely has its benefits...given that most of my collection was picked up on face value

Sorry forgot to mention, McDonalds has this at $160 for Unc and 200 in Choice,

The one above is in fair good condition, lots of original shine and no large marks but many bag marks are present.

Oh whoops sorry, The St George Cross, is different in the two coins, the incluse version is dug into the flag, while the normal just has the outline of the cross, have a look here for more detail

basically they are a fairly rare error, 200,000 minted they reckon, but hard to find in Unc.

Thanks Trout! I think the notes are probably more exciting for me though as there are alot more floating around where I work.
Is there anywhere on the net that shows which signatures are better than others on decimal notes?

best advice is get a book by either Greg McDonald or Renniks and have a look because there's just way to many coins and notes to list them all sorry. And if you have a book you can keep it in your car and read at lunch and refer back to from time to time..only down fall is you have to get a new book from time to time, but lots of hint and things to look out for so that's why I like to combine the books and CCF as some things aren't in the books but the ccf team will help in many ways

Sorry I couldn't be of more help
