Been quiet for a while as I have been too busy. However when I was doing my grocery, found a 1985 10 cents. When I saw it, I had a gut feeling that it wasn't a common year. Turns out I didn't even have it in my collection which I started 5+ years ago. At a low mintage of 2 million, it is supposed to be more common than the 1985 and 1993 50 cents. Turns out this isn't the case. Took me that long to find it.  Edited by gxseries

I've only found two or three of these.
I'm still waiting to find a 1985 20c in my change though.

I figured it actually was from circulation.  Maybe its a bad scan. From a mint set sounds more like trouts noodling style  |

Aw C'mon fellers, I went through $200 worth of 20 cent coins to find this . N that's all I found as well  1000 coins darn near burnt me old eyes out . It's the only "circulated" one of these I have  Bugger doing that again I think I'll just stick to my " ebay noodling" |

You should be quite happy with just finding that trout!
Quite often I get nothing from 20c. I've gotten picky what I keep now but id be over the moon to find that one.

Ausjack: has always been too busy. Probably the reason why I cannot find awesome coins from circulation where I used to. This is the coin that I pulled from circulation:  Looks like I got a lot of work to find those 20 cents coin!
