Some of your videos never get old. Just started noodling the 5c already found several errors, several 2019 jc , several 1972 and other 70s. Thanks a lot. Having a few kids that love to compete for noodle finds also helps

[@markwegner6821]

Very good overview. It's 2024 and I've checked 100's of rolls. I've found about 10 1972, 8 of the 2016 commemoration of 50years and about 12 of the 2019 with the jc. Your reporting is spot on with my experience in the, never give up, 5c make a million hobby. 💎

[@jameshorsted5489]

I have every coin out there apart from the 2007 double head 5 cent coin. Happy hunting.

[@Aquarium-Downunder]

2016 $2 mint rolls, thank you. never crossed my mind. Just picked up 4 mint rolls from a coin/stamp shop on line (last of the stock) for $30 per roll.

[@philbert85]

I always pick up a 5c. Still don't have a 72 or flamingo. It's great to rewatch your videos while i noodle. Good luck hunting everyone

[@eatingsfun]

13:37 Every time I see a coin inside a cardboard thingy I NEED to know why haha

[@Mav_F]

To protect the coin and it normally is a special coin or new coin.

[@brettforrest5079]

Thanks for getting me into noodling, I’ve gone through about 300 hundred dollars of 5 cent pieces found the alien 5 cent changeover coin, 3 1972 and about 10 normal changeover

[@ozzyalchemist8806]

Wow! Congrats on the Alien mate, very cool😎👍

[@brettforrest5079]

Ozzy Alchemist it’s not in great condition but it’s a good way to start my collection

[@PJsCoinCapers]

Hey Brett, yes well done on the Alien. What part of the country did you find it?

[@brettforrest5079]

Hi I found it in a role. Ballarat vic

[@LindaPatton1980]

Pm please add your video of the alien coin please.. I'm curious lol

[@kevinaldcroft6291]

I have found a 1980 5-cent coin with what I think is a die error on the side of the obverse. The two-half circular die cut marks are under the lettering and the date. This gives the appearance that the queens head is raised domed. There is little wear on the coin overall. However, it appears the 80 in the date has sustained some damage from the die cut mark. I understand that there were over 100 million minted, but I have not seen many coins with this error. I will get this one appraised and valued at our local coins and collectables shop.

[@jameshorsted5489]

I have them all👍JIMMY!🙂

[@Gigi_kodra58]

Loving your videos PJ and thank you for sharing them. I definitely find it rewarding when i find a coin or coins in those coin rolls to add to my collections. This week i came across a 1982 5 cent coin with multiple errors on both sides of the coin😁

[@dalzcoins7528]

Wow very nice coins❤❤❤🙏🙏

[@darneyoung537]

I have 4 1966 round 50c pieces, so I’m sitting on them

[@Famo59]

Thanks for sharing this information. Cheers Famo59.👍🤓🍺⛏

[@TazzzieAdventures]

Great look at those little error coins i haven't done 5c coins in awhile now. Thanks for the shout out mate i'm itching to get out. The alien coin would be awesome to find as for the 2007 don't think that one is on the cards for me :-) HH Brad

[@ozzyalchemist8806]

Love the 5's, found a rim cud, missing SD's & a flamingo so far. 1st time I've seen the facial die clash, cheers for the intel👍p.s. Tazzzie rocks😎😊✌

[@PJsCoinCapers]

Thanks Ozzy

[@Luke12582]

I’ve been collecting 5 cent coins for about 20 years now, only tipped them all out a few years ago to hopefully find the double header. No luck with that but I did get a couple of clipped planchets and some other choice stuff. $600 is a lot to noodle.

[@desgoulding7154]

Many thanks for sharing PJ mate you would believe that I have,your videos on when I am looking Hunting lol .Still have found any police coins why I am stuck on that is I was in that line of work in my working life take care mate

[@pfineyut]

Hi PJ, I am subscribed, but I usually noodle 50 cent, $1 $2. The other day some coins fell out of my jeans as I was washing them and so as I picked up the 1998 5 cent piece I knew it was different. The lip around the edge is VERY pronounced that you can feel and has no milling/edging and the diameter of the coin is about 1 mm less compared to others. Thanks for the informative video and I now know to put it aside 😁

[@PJsCoinCapers]

Thanks for sharing this story. Much appreciated.

[@callyman]

I've often wondered why the 5&10c never seem to have any other other stuff on them. Just plain old sameness. Now I see they're not! 🙂😁😁😁

[@danielveit6791]

Interesting the cool finds with the 5s

[@Aquarium-Downunder]

I had a 1923 1/2 penny with tail on both sides. I'm not going to say what I got. it did pay for a new car in 2012. got it in a 5kg bag from a guy who found a big bag in his dead grandfathers shed.

[@gabrielle8965]

Ha ha ….love Em or hate Em….they’re round☺️

[@Clintreid75]

Haha, you had me going with the 2007 double header :) I hope you find one, one day!

About 20 yrs ago i found a 5c coin that was smooth round the edge and raised on both sides and was a little bit smaller than a normal 5c coin wish i still had it but it was stolen when my house got broken into

[@orieldel]

Too bad about that Peter, bty we have the same name.

[@funkeyfastdrawmonkey1483]

Another great video PJ. Cheers

[@selfreflection449]

Been watching a lot of your videos lately, started getting into coin collecting and went through my coin collecting I had as a child. Found a round 50c coin

[@PJsCoinCapers]

Very nice. That's a good place to start

[@poulskovdam4390]

I just recently found a 2007 double header and I am in North East Victoria, Iso they are still out their, also found the 2006 die clash and I found a 2000 off centre miss strike.

[@PJsCoinCapers]

Well done on the 2007. Nice to know that they can be found outside of NSW

[@shaunmorris8176]

Hi. Love your videos 🤟♥️. I love learning.

[@callyman]

I'm 50now and when I was about 10 I carelessly threw away a 1cent coin as I was walking out the supermarket. Well not giving a care to where it went of course it flew off &hit the most expensive car in the lot. A brand new Mercedes. Of course the owner picked it up and as he approached me I'm soiling my pants, he hands me the coin and says - never throw away money kid. If you saved all these you'd have a dollar and I can guarantee sometimes in your life your going to wish you had that dollar. The outcome was that I've never ever thrown away as little as a cent and I've made the effort to pick up any coin I see ever since.

[@dongbytes7044]

[@esad5510]

When you buy a roll of coins, do you pay the exact amount of how much that entire roll is worth? For example, if you get a 25 packet of $2 coins, do you pay $50 to buy the roll?
