Coin Hunting

[Adrian ss]

Have had a couple of red poppy coins and spent them. Did not know at the time that they were worth anything significant, it is a pretty ordinary looking coin.
Will be keeping my eyes open for them from now on.

Here's a few

Here's that 2012

You've probly been seeing these though

Don't even ask what this is (I found it surfing a few minutes ago
But... I now want one

What you really want to keep an eye out for are mistakes like these

Bit of a hunt yesterday now
5c & $1

Found a couple of non circulation $1
Yr 2000 HMAS SYDNEY 2

2019 JC Bushrangers

And a circulation coin
2020 $1 Donation Coin

Found a 5c 2001 Flamingo Die Crack

Upside down the curve of the 5 ends up looking like a flamingoes head and beak

So the three dollar coins were all new to me.... exciting finds.
And 5c flamingoes are very rare to find.... but out of the years that can be found it seems to me that 2001 will be the one to turn up.... but you really need to be looking for die cracks to find them, even then you will see the die crack before you realise you have a flamingo.... if you only look for flamingoes you will miss die cracks lol

2006 5c with obverse neck die crack

All 3 rolls were new 2021.... but only six were like this one

You can see I had a few keepers this time

I also found this New Guinean 2009 20T
same size as our 20c

No real stand out scores... but some nice ones all the same

 

[Topenda]

Went though this lot if 5cent rolls over Chrissy Holidays after seeing an 'ALIEN' sold on eBay for $300. Each coffee tin holds 60 +rolls of 5cents with 40 coins in each roll.

Did not find one in that lot but found a few other rolls i had forgotten i had, guess what i found.? The 'Alien' error coin i had all along.
Hope you too can find one ,they are out there ..... who knows how many ? Best thing is it only cost me 5cents . :sunny:

 

[silver]

Nice .... $500 worth

 

[Sandta]

Would be interested to know if anyone will pay that much for it. :8
Are you going to sell it?
(I assume that would be the purpose)

 

[silver]

lol.... I was meaning $500 worth of 5c rolls in the coffee tins.

 

[Jaros]

I can just see you hugging all those silvers -like a greenie with a tree.

 

[silver]

What else ya gunna do when on Earth hey !

 

[nucopia]

Looking through a couple of Jars full of old coins the step dad had in his house .

13 x 1966 round 50c pieces.

2 x 1973 Endeavor 50c pieces.

Also a jar full of pre decimal half pennies, pennies ,three pence, five pence, shillings,2 shillings and a couple of florin & crowns.

Need an idea of there values and if any are collectible , so if any one can help it would be appreciated.

 

[Mike678]

Look on E-bay and see what they are selling for .

 

[Topenda]

G'day nucopia , think those '66' round 50cent coins are selling for around $16 each. Not so much for the condition of the coin but for the silver content, i think 3 of them equal one ounce of silver? An uncirculated one would fetch more.
I reckon the New Zealand 50cent Endeavor are worth face value only unfortunately, but you may be onto a couple of winners if your crowns are dated 1938. :Y:
Not sure on the other pre decimal coins but i sure would like to find some. ickshovel:

 

[silver]

What years are the coins nucopia ?

That will help a bit in seeing if there is anything special of value, and will identify the silver content of anything that is only worth its weight value.
