Yes I reckon you be correct mate. Every coin found at first glance is rare as hens teeth and worth a mint until you get the crud off it Aye! :D

Are there any error or other special 1 or 2 cent coins to look out for ?
Can not seem to find much info on them. :/
Just keep the shiny ones? :sunny:
 
One cent. Mintages under 200,00
1986
1991
Two Cent. mintages under 200,00
1986
1987
1990
1991

1966 thru to 1969 look for blunt 1st claw or 3rd claw different mints and 2nd claw also if sharp claws minted in Canberra.
1966 thru to 1969 no SD
 
Here's an old 2010ish bit of rennicks info

1c

Guys collect the coins you want too, not for the value of the coin. Reality is the coins are worth no more what the next person is prepared to pay.
I have thousands of Uncirculated coins that I have collected and when I approached a well known dealer he offered little more then face value for them. It would appear that when every new coin that comes out the dealers purchase huge stocks of them and drip feed them out to make it appear that there are few of them about.
Enjoy building your collections
cheers db
 
True, it's nice to know you have them when you find them.
I just want a few nice sets sitting in the cupboard when I go, knowing that I found the best examples that I could. I think on occasions that if my own parents had of saved the best examples they could find to swap out for a great collection, instead of just keeping a few willy nilly..... well you can imagine the difference hey, so, because I know better due to circumstances of insight, I am endeavouring to do what they did not, within my own current sphere of possibilities.
I also know that my 1968 1c peices are only valued at 1c to me.
My entire collection is while in my possession only current face value, and falling with inflation(as it is real money) :p
 
Funny that you can see inflation at work in times of old there, because pennies were once silver, then went down to copper.
Still nice looking for its age deepblue. :D
