crab eater Pillar of the Community Australia 580 Posts	Posted 02/02/2024 9:46 pm A freshly noodled error coin . Long time between drinks since the last one . Bit beat up but I am still gunna keep it. I was hoping to keep all the 5 cent coins I noodle so I don't noodle them again ,turns out I am not rich enough to do that but I think I have come close to scraping the bottom of the barrel. Seems now I am noodling mostly already noodled coins as the finds are drying up. Edited by crab eater 02/03/2024 01:02 am Report this Post to the Staff

SallyG Valued Member Australia 319 Posts	Posted 02/03/2024 01:42 am Cool coin Crab Eater. Very nice find. I think it's not only the 5c where things are drying up. All of the denominations that I noodle through are producing far less 'goodies' than last year. However, I did find my 2nd $2 firefighter this week so there are still some bonuses out there. Happy hunting. Report this Post to the Staff

crab eater Pillar of the Community Australia 580 Posts	Posted 02/03/2024 5:33 pm Quote: Guys, there's no edge reeding. I assume it's also slightly larger than a normal 5 cent piece? This isn't a mis-strike or a misaligned die, it's a broadstrike. A broadstrike happens when a coin is struck with the collar die completely missing (either it's broken away, or someone forgot to install it). Broadstrikes are often off-centre, because there's literally nothing holding the blank in the correct location. Especially with modern gravity-fed machinery, the coin simply keeps moving. There is no reeding on the rim. Edited by crab eater 02/03/2024 5:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff

MachinMachinMan Pillar of the Community Australia 1852 Posts	Posted 02/04/2024 11:25 pm I was wondering if you were still noodling 5c coins or had given it away and switched to NCLT. You have to be a dedicated noodler to come across those Report this Post to the Staff
