I've got quite a few 66 on hand, I'll see if I can find a London one for you. No promises though, I'm not 100% sure what to look for but I'll research it first. If I find one. it's yours.

Nancyc, can I get a Wavvy off you? :) PLEASE! :) Zaggy, Are you asking me for my one & only wavy ?  Fat chance! It was a 2006 Chrissy present. I've never been lucky enough to find one. I did have a spare 1972 5¢, but I sent it to a collector in WA a few weeks ago to fill a gap in his collection. It was a pretty beat up coin, but any 1972 5¢ is better than none at all. I think you may have misunderstood my previous post  I will check my 1966 5¢ and if I find a London one, I'll send it to gx. If I happen to find a heap of them, which I think is most unlikely, I'll let you know. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

Ok, I checked my 1966 5¢ pieces. Out of 21, 5 appear to be London Mint. I am going to keep one, so apart from the one I promised gxseries, there are 3 others which I'll give away.
Let me know if you want one, if there are more than 3 of you wanting one, I'll put names in a hat & draw 3, that way everyone will stand an equal chance. I'll give it a week, then do the lucky draw.
I'll keep all 1966 5¢ that I come across from now on, so there might be more freebies further doawn the track.

Good going with the sixpence!
I'm feeling very lucky now as I only went through $10 of 5c pieces to get a 2007.

Learjet, So all the 2007 5¢ have migrated up north. Must be all the rain that's attracting them.
gxseries, your 1966 London 5¢ is in the mail.
justa, I'm holding one for you, there's 2 left if anyone else wants one.

Yep Learjet I didn't find a single 2007 5c piece down here in Victoria. I'm still waiting on the 2007 50c piece as well |

I find it facinating how 'new' coins are distributed. I saw all 2007 Issues quite soon locally, except for 2007 50c. Now in the last week, theyre in every second bag I go thru! Same goes for the 5c issue; I was finding those very early in the piece, but NONE in Vic still! I wonder how the distribution ACTUALLY works?
