It just occured to me this arvo while going through my collection that you guys/gals could be coin roll hunted this rarity.
Does anyone here actually do this?

Well done.
Thats a high end decimal
This is one of the things that makes me jealous of our USA friends, their ability to get boxes of coins and pick out silver.
Sure they are getting harder to find , BUT THEY ARE STILL OUT THERE

 

[kramer]

I haven't been able to find one. It's shitting me

I had to Google what it actually was.

How much are they worth?

 

[serial]

between $300 and $5k

They are a big ticket item .
You get one in mint condition and it's thousands of $$$$.
If i was in AUS i would be getting rolls of coins every week to look through them.
A boring Sunday morning and you can flick through the rolls while watching Maloney on youtube, NOT!.
But i certainly would be roll hunting for them as you have nothing to lose, but plenty to gain.

I spent many years going through the shop takings looking for varieties, I found many different types, including non circulating legal tender dollars but I never found a mule or the wavy 2.

I still look but they are all in pretty poor condition now.

So how many are out there? Is it every 1966 20c or just some?

 

[kramer]

Every 1966 I've seen is standard. So only some. And I've probably been through 20000 x 20c so far.

Same I keep every 1966 20c coins I come across, I don't know why but.
Got nearly $50 worth but still no wavy. Search around $100 worth of rolls a fortnight, maybe I should up it to increase my chance.

 

[serial]

I do about $600 a week of 20cents
been at it several years, 1 wavy only

 

[tave]

It's all about the luck of the draw.
You might go through lots of rolls and only find one, when there's people who find them nearly straight away.
My best find would be finding 5x 1972 5c coins in one noodling session.

 

[stevo1962]

I recall hearing ( somewhere ), that the last 1930 Penny to be found 'in change', was as late as 1963 ?

And back then an average example 1930 penny was worth about the same as an average 2000 $1 mule today

Thought this was relevant... A handy 20c infographic that Downies put out the other year. There's two other types you should be looking out for if you're going to crack rolls and go on the hunt.
