This monday is one absurd day as I found a fair bit of coins that I never had or excellent upgrades. I personally dislike 2 dollar coins and I decided to dump some 6 dollars worth of 2 dollar coins inside a vending machine and get it to return the change. Well it wasn't a totally smart move - the machine ran out of 50 cents and it gave me plenty of 20 cents as well.

Of out that haul, I was stunned to find this:

2 UNC 1982 Brisbane games (with some contact marks - darn shame) - how that entered in the vending machine is another suprise
1995 UN 20 cents (and I looked for that coin for nearly 5 years!)
1998 Bass and Flinders 50 cents, aUNC - not easy to find them in decent condition these days
2000 Royal Visit 50 cents - the Queen Portrait doesn't definately look good and I have been looking for this for years!

and...
1993 50 cents - I got it back for some reason!

Not bad for 6 dollars worth of change returned eh?

Great finds, Gx.

You should go back there with another $10 or $20 and see what you can find.

Like Steve said, go back & clean it out, sounds a bit like an Aladdin's cave. Good luck!
