Been a few months since my last noodling session, so today I went through $1000 of dollar coins, and $400 worth of 50c pieces from CBA coin machine bags. 50's weren't that exciting, just 2 1991 Rams in pretty good nick  No Millenium Incuseds in the 8 coins from 2000 2001 Federation states were all well circulated; 11 in all (1 Tas, 2 NT, 1 Vic, 1 Norfolk, 4 WA, 2 NSW) Found 4x 2013 COA's In the 1000 $1 coins I picked up 2 NCLTs, both C m/marks - and rather well circulated - but both are firsts 'out of the pond' for me....  Best find was a Rotated 2001 COF dollar, my 4th from circ. In nice condition, and the third of 4 I've found that is around the 3 o'clock position   No mules in the 9x year 2000 coins (this one still eludes me...  ) No 2012 or 2013 dollar coins were found |

Nice noodling there PD!  The rams and the rotated $1 were nice finds. I haven't found a Korean War NCLT $1 as yet but still looking. Keep up the good work! |

I've never found a rotated 2001 coin & I've noodled a lot of dollar coins,maybe none were released here in QLD or their all noodle out by the time they got to the country towns. Yours is in surprisingly good condition. Hope you find that illusive mule one day penny d....... |

Nice noodle pd!. I've been hitting the small country town banks of late, on my travels, and I'm finding lots of aunc coins, but no NCLT's. I have a quick question. Is it normal for the $1 .00 year 2000 legend to be very close to the rim?

$200 worth of 20c pieces sorted today: (1000 coins) 3 were Kiwi interlopers Commems: 1x 1995 UN (I don't see this one often...) 3x 2001 Bradman 1x 2001 Norfolk 1x 2001 N. Territory 4x 2003 Volunteers 21x 2005 WW2 9x 2010 ATO 3x 2011 Volunteers 9x 2011 William Kate 11x 2011 Women's 1x 2013 Canberra (my first...yay  ) Are the 2013 Canberras a general release? Latest Platy's were 2012's and had plenty of them... Also a fairly nice 1972 No wavy 1966 in the 24 coins of this date, and no 2004 Large Heads - an underrated coin, IMHO  Got 1000 dollar coins to go through later...  |

Dollar coins didn't impress me much..... Just the one mintmarked coin in the 1000 searched; no NCLT's, mules or rotateds   Maybe I'll have another go tomorrow! |
