Not very common from my experience. Without searching bags of 20c pieces, I've only found one since they were released.

On average I find one about every $70 searched. Like Jeff has said 'not common but not too hard to find eventually'.
Over the years I've accumulated (and sometimes sold) a lot of these. They are worth around $1-$2 in circulated condition at the moment but they have been a high as $15 a few years back. I doubt they will ever get they high again but I hope they do as I have hundreds of them!

I found my first one today. To be honest I stopped looking for them after not getting one originally but after reading this thread I gave it a shot and found one. Also found the 88 pictured next to it in the same $4 armaguard bag   |

i have read some earlier topics about the 88 20c and it seems like a few people have found them. Best noodle bag ever! A wavy 66 and I would have had a heart attack.

1988 is an excellent find. I have plenty of bighead 2004 but have never found a 1988 in circulation. The only one I have from circulation was a swap.
Your one looks almost "new". Maybe it is a mint set coin that got away.

Thank goodness you didn't find one then. But, if you had I bet the heart attack would have been delayed long enough to post a brag here.  Jeff |

The 88 has some discolouring aroundnthe crown and forhead which is a bit disapointing. Photo is much better than the actual coin. Looked through another $200 of 20c today and didnt get any large head 04. Cant be too common.

Congratulations on your finds enworb!
I think each time I find something, there is more incentive to keep looking.
