2016 50th anniversary change over coin

On the roo

There's a cud under the chin
I call it 2016 changeover "Roo Chin Cud"

But..... I had a bit of a highlight this time
1956 Sixpence

Been through the ringers, but 50% silver in the roll was a nice change from the norm.
Happy hunting

One of my crissy presents this year
$20 5c hunt (thank you #2 son)(or is that #3 or more) erfect:

What will I find ?

 

[Topenda]

Hope you find an 'alien'. You will find relaxation along with anticipation and some expectation with variation, hopefully a lot of elation.

May even get some education !

Hi Silver
What about a 1966 20c London coin or a 1979 50c double bar coin. Both of these are worth quite a bit of money.
Good luck with the hunt.
I'm in the process of off loading my collection, have been offered $000.00 for 1973 single first 2c coin.
cheers db

 

[silver]

Yeah deeoblue, I have a few 1980 and 1979 double bars, but have only recently seen that there is a difference that sets the 1966's apart lol. Always learning something new.
What is the 1973 single first 2c coin that makes it stand out ?

 

[deepblue]

The 1973 2c coin PR70DCAM is the single finest of all 2 cent coins graded for that year,

One of the 4 only 1973 1c coins graded PR70DCAM is on sale for over $1600.00.
So since my coin is the only one and there a few collectors out there that would like to have the single finest set in Australia and World wide it is in high demand.

 

[silver]

I'd be asking more then
Looks very nice, very special indeed.
Be worth an arm and a leg in 2073 I'd recon.

 

[silver]

So..... that $20 hunt

There were 3 5c coins worthy of mention.

2008 fat letters

The T & R

1991 large SD (I heard somewhere there may be three sizes of the SD)

And my favorite..... 1965 6d

From New Zealand

Hi Silver
I've only heard of 2 types of SD variety but there is 3 types of variety coin.

1. Standard circulation coin
These are my coins that I have in the Registry.
2. FDC special stuck coin for Proof Set High Relief.

3. Silver Proof coin

Good luck with future hunts.

Thanks deepblue, your certainly up there with the quality coins, I recon you've done well travelling that road mate. Best of the best of the best.

 

[deepblue]

[Topenda]

Quick $500 of $2 coin hunt.

Can you guess the keepers?

 

[Jaros]

Good luck to you.

 

[silver]

[Topenda]

Spot on silver.

 

[Adrian ss]

Still surprises me how often these coins pop out of the ground.

 

[silver]

Near surface finds there Adrian.... those purple ones hold a little value already too
erfect:

 

[Adrian ss]

The three top left dollar coins were approx 8 inches in dry beach sand.
Most of the others are from local picnic grounds at no more than a few inches tops.
Detectors used were vanquish 340 and EQ 600.
I find the 340 to be a respectable machine for a bit of casual beach detecting, really is fool proof......Probably why I can use it aye.

 

[Topenda]

$750 worth of $2 coin hunt this morning
Only one keeper.... 8.(
