Went through a coin machine bag of 20c coins in an (unsuccessful  ) attempt to find a 2001 rotated or 1966 wavy. Of the 500 coins I found 2x 2004 Large Heads, and just the 2 States coins - as last time. Haven't found a 1995 UN for quite some time now...... 44 non Platy coins were 2x NZ 20c 1x 2001 Bradman 2x 2001 State: Tas, NT 2x 2003 Volunteer 11x 2005 WW2 11x 2010 Tax 13x 2011 Wedding 2x 2011 Volunteers   |

Oops...didn't put in the 12 coins I found for Women's Day 2011...  The total of non Platy's is therefore 56 The seller of the stack of UN's is going to have a challenge in trying to offload all of them for the wanted price...no sugar for any buyers at those rates....  |

 PD, definately wanting too much too soon for too many. That was a good amount of Womens Day from a $100 bag.  |

The 2004 large head on the left appears to have lost the bottom part of the numeral '4' in the date. Struck Through Grease maybe? |

I think that's the scanner lighting playing tricks..Have had a closer look at them both, and the 4's are as per usual - darn it, looked for a moment like there may have been a little variety for me -well picked up!
The right side coin does have a heavy scratch through it that the scan doesn't show, unfortunately, so will be going back to the pond. Sometimes the scanner hides flaws: but the loupe won't miss something like this.

Two large heads is a pretty god hit for $100. Id be happy with that. I still think theyre underated. If I found those 1995 20c rolls id be keeping a few for resale and dumping the rest at the bank, maybe offer there here at face. Theyre hard to sell and post and really not a scarce coin. The few 1995 rolls I have opened in the past have yilded a couple of coins with some of the reverse Struck Through Grease, nothing too special but worth keeping so I might look for those. |

Yesterday's bag of 500 coins was noteworthy for being one of the most dull I've ever done... Not a single 2001 State coin, no UN's, no 2011 Volun, no 2004 Pointy A's  Only 29 non Platy coins 4x Kiwi 20c 1x 2001 Bradman 4x 2003 Volun. 7x 2005 WW2 3x 2010 Tax 7x 2011 Womens 3x 2011 Wedding I'm going out to get me some more coins; things can only get better.....  |

That's the way PD, keep looking. I've just finished my $100 bag (took me over a week) and will post the results later. |

Noodling for me is a tad slow can't see much without a magnifying glass, even the dates, but geez it's fun. This is the quick summary of the $100 bag of 20c over the past week. Like PD, no wavy, no rotated 2001 (had to be expected). Unlike PD, no pointy A, no womens days. (Perhaps if I put all my 2004s down the back of the lounge they'll come out pointy  ). 2x1995 UN 1x2001 Norfolk Island 1x2001 NSW 1x2001 Bradman 1x2003 Volunteers 9x2005 Coming Home 6x2010 ATO 6x2011 Will & Kate 1x2011 Volunteers 3xNZ Kiwi 1xVanuatu 1x2006 Die Crack as per Nancy's pics in: https://goccf.com/t/1059501x2001 Strike Through - Top of date 1x2010 Strike Through - Queens Face 1x1970 Lamination (which might end up being PMD) Approx 20 Cuds Various dates 4 of the 25x2010 Platy have a doubling as per the image below. (Under chin & nose etc)  Below is a normal 2010 (for comparison)  1981 Reverse doubling see image below  Normal below for comparison  |

Thought I'd post a pic of the 20 Vatu from the above noodle. It's the first one I'd ever seen. Has anyone else come across the 2010 Obverse or 1981 doubling above before?   |
