@Chm8Tin2 - good going. Any rough idea haw many coins you noodled to complete the set? Will be trying to noodle the next set but will also get the PO to keep some aside so I have a nice set for trading with O/S collectors. Still eying off the UK a-Z.  |

I have three more to look for.
Strictly out of pocket change for face value.
Another that seems to be quite scarce?........
2019 JC 50 Cents - total 70,000 only minted that were issued into circulation.
Info from the combined 2018-19 and 2019-20 Mint Report appendices.

@Chm8Tin2 - Woah.... that's a letter coin every 63 dollars assuming no double ups (very unlikely). Say a 30% double up works out at a letter coin every 50 coins noodled so a 2% strike rate. I average a 0.6% strike rate in Brisbane. Just what are the folks doing at Brandon? Buying fish'n'chips with letter coins? Tossing letter coins in the tip jars? Whatever it is, it's a far better strike rate than Brisbane and I suspect the Gold Coast as well (Coaster?). Awesome noodling. |
