Jeff : Pretend it is a long weekend and the comp will remain open until Monday night, just for you. Bugger still! Armaguard doesn't deliver here until Wednesday. I will just have to try and pick up some loose change when shopping. Jeff |

Enworb, it was EE09 448844 in EF condition. Love a decent radar considering the odds are 1 in about 1,100 (excluding radar repeaters & solids).

I emptied my purse and noodled the coins, all 29 of them. I kept 2 x .50 and 1 x $2.
1977 50c - Nice condition
2006 50c - May have a Rev Rim Burr
2008 $2 - A bit off centre
life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

That is a very nice note goatie. Double letter prefix and the radar is made up of double numbers.

I went through $200 which I got out on friday, but nothing outstanding.
Made it to the bank today and got $400 of 50c and $100 of 20c.
Also checked the notes which came out of the ATM, but nothing caught my eye.
I wonder what is waiting to be found....

I'm confident I won't win.
$200 of 5c
No 1972s, most interesting pick up was a 10 cent euro coin. If I had any plans to go to Europe I'd be laughing!

Jings this weekend has been tough. Two kids parties and a family BBQ. Lucky daylight saving time kicked in which gave me an extra hour. I will attempt to type up my finding tonight after tidying up - lucky I have a ute, just chucking all the rubbish in the back  $200 of 5c! I would be blind by now! That is 4000 tiny coins. Nice work. |

lol dibby, blind indeed and not in a great mood, had a bad run lately, got 2 in the last $400 I went through - dunno whats the go. I need 6 more and I will have myself 50 circulated sets put away, I figure they might be worth something in 50 years time, kinda like halfpenny sets, cheap but still a good handful of change.

Great haul on your 50c's! 85's and 93's are always a good find, plenty of states as well (although strangely no QLD lol), and topped off with an incuse  |

I think bjw can pretty much be declared the winner without a poll unless someone happens to find a mule or wavy

Yep no Queensland  . It's funny how finding state coins goes sometimes! I can't believe I'm going to say it but I'm a bit over noodling.....well for a couple of days anyway . The weekends noodling took me 12.5hrs to complete! Wish I had that much time every weekend! |
