The Forum's Oldest Coin. Round 1.

[Goldpick]

Better do my birthdate coin, a zombie queen 1972 5c from the beach (can you tell)! Couldn't be bothered going through all my 5c coins for a better one, would be here all afternoon.

 

[Sandta]

Way to GP ... Apparently quite a scarce coin

 

[Jaros]

The lowest minted year is 1972 with 8.25 million coins and the highest was 2006 with 306.5 million,[2] and the average today is 80 million coins per year. No coins were issued in 1985-86 with the former valued at $30 uncirculated.

[brucee]

hi 1971 5 cent coin,, beach find :

 

[silver]

Let Brucee have it fellas,.. it would be a close call anyway.
I see it took a good game like this to pull you out of the woodwork Brucee,...I bet you've been busy detecting up until now(should have a bagfull). ?

 

[brucee]

hi , yes , I have got a few oldies , I hope to show soon

 

[Goldpick]

1970 James Cook 50c - park find that cleaned up very nicely.

 

[Sandta]

1969 50c ... Park find

 

[Ferozn1]

1968 10 cent park find pretty trashed this one

I am hoping somebody has a wavy 20 cent for 1966

 

[Sandta]

Ok ,ill put up this '67 20c kiwi coin
Leaving the '66 for that wavey

 

[Goldpick]

1966 chomped silver 50c found earler this year.

 

[Ramjet]

A couple of interesting coins.
Ferozn1 that 10c sure is toasted.
The Kiwi 20c being inverse instead if raised is also cool. never seen one like that sandta.
You guys are kickin my but. I don't have anywhere near as many or interesting coins as you all do.

Hmmm. Optical ilusion. Maybe I should put my glasses on. :8 Still looks reversed to me.

Goldpick's 50 cent piece has a very straight cut. I have a few half coins like that. I wonder what does it. A mower seems obvious but I didn't think they would cut a coin like that.

 

[silver]

Trick of the light I do believe !

That Kiwi 20 cent head side. First time I read the post it was inverse, then I read all the posts, it looks normal.

Moved the laptop slightly clockwise and I can see the inverse "look" again. Magical pic!

 

[Sandta]

Are you pair at the same party? :lol:

That was found about 7-8" down on the edge of a rugby field, and I reckon it was deliberately cut for some reason as the coin is pretty straight.

I'm sure we all realise the hang up predicament at the moment,...I don't think an Aussie coin is going to turn up for 1965,...or is it.?(cliff-hanger moment).
