      damn it, mine was only valued at 12 cents. I figured it was loosing value fast so i sold it for 12 cents, rounded down to 10 cents. got a nice 1985 10 cent piece. i'll hold on to it in case it becomes valuable.

    Hi PJ, Just thought I would add .... In the 1981 20c there are 2 versions on the 4 and 1 of the 3.5 claws. 3.5 claws is a Canada mint. A 4 claw with the SD spaced wider is Llenistrant (Wales) mint and the 4 claw standard from the Canberra mint. Cheers.

    Only a little late to the party here lol. But the 20c coins that are issued for the ANZAC memorial each year with the news paper and Westpac often end up in circulation because after the promotion ends the leftover coins are often Donated to a charity. I still remember back in 2015 our collage helped open about $10k worth of them that had been donated to legacy 😁

    Hi PJ, one quick comment mate, I'm learning heaps from your videos, just start collecting but found it frustrating in this video at the end with the row of federation coin how you had some coins laid on top of the others. I found a NSW federation coin that was quite discoloured and hardly recognisable other then what I thought might be a Waratah flower. I had to stop your video a few times to find the Waratah federation 20c in your line up before I could see it but did end up confirming what it was.

    How do you make money if you have any of these coins, do you sell them to coin dealers or is it just regular people who will buy them from you because they like to collect them for some strange reason ?
    Is it any coins really that are worth more than face value if it is struck slightly off center, because I have in the past seen dollar coins and two dollar coins also that have been struck slightly off center ?

    Hi PJ.. I know you like coin errors mate.. I have found a 2007 20cent that is missing the whole claw next to the SD with a swirl gap that meets back at the hand... hope there might be more in circulation.. Happy hunting😉

      Nice find. I would like to see that. I really should setup a facebook page where people can show what they find. I will keep an eye out for that one. Thanks PJ

    Whenever im in Australia, i often find there is tons of those commemorative coins circulation all the time. In New Zealand, we dont seem to have anywhere near as many, and now that they made our coins smaller, its even more rare to find such coins.
