Ok, I got one $200 security bags of 50ct, & one $100 security bag of 20ct for the holidays. My major finds in the 50's is. Rams Head x 2 vf & ef, Incused Flag x 1,  Cusped 50 x 1(2007), Double struck Federation x 1, Low mint x 1(1993), Low mint x 1(1997), State Federations x 7 vg/f And many Cusped error coins! From the 20 cent bag I found is. 3 1/2 claw x 1 vf, 1 x 1966 wavy line,  my only one. State Federations x 5 vg/f, Quite a few Gaps & Large heads, And a few Cusped error coins! I have only started to Noodle coins since the start of the year, and I think I have had a great start. Hope you all have done the same? I am interested in any finds you have found!

Here are my "school holiday" finds. I have been noodling 100 coins a night. Alternating between 20cents, 50cents and 1 dollar coins. Interestingly, half of my "key" finds have not been from noodling, but from closely examining my change. Pic of the "key" finds is shown below. 1985 50 cent piece (my third). 2000 incuse millennium (my fourth). I was handed this as change at my favorite cafe  1992 Barcelona 1 dollar coin. 2011 10 cent piece. I found this in my change. 2008 "gap" 20 cent coin. I have lots of these now !. Squire  |

Thanks moneybags It is nice to have the three incuse "Union Jack's" in my collection. I have given the fourth to a good friend. I shall give one of the three incuse to my sister. She has started collecting. When I find incuse #5 I would like to offer it as a prize in a competition to CCF members. My tribute to the Coin Community Family  and Lady Luck  Squire |
