Rio's top picks - Australian $2 coins Book 2, Ep 68

Rio's top picks - Australian $2 coins Book 2, Ep 68
I find coins & I collect coins.
Australia has some of the best looking coins on the planet.
Our standard coins are classics of animal depictions.
Our commemoratives are World class and world leading.
Join me as I noodle through Australian $2 coins looking for our countries coloured commemorative coins, rare coins and coins that can be worth more than face value.
This is an ongoing series of coin hunting where I sort through $2 coins looking for all the commemorative coins issued for circulation since the introduction of the $2 coin in 1988.
Watch and follow me as I attempt to complete a full set.

G'day Phil, I've fallen behind with my viewing but better late than never, 2 bouts of kidney stones over the past few weeks has curtailed my activities but I'm back on track, one coin per 2 rolls is a good return, I think it was line ball between the two 2016 Olympic red ring & Paralympic coins, both were in superb condition, also another outstanding live stream with Eugene tonight, you did a great job noodling & keeping up with commentary from 80 plus viewers, the ACT Fed 50c coin was a winner for me, always been hard for me to find, thanks for sharing your hunts & live streams with the community. Cheers Peter J 😂👋✌🙏💪👍

Hi Peter,
Sorry to hear that you have been poorly.
Hope you fully recover.
Thanks for your kind words for tonight's livestream. i also think it was a cracker.
Not too many finds but still mostly better than some of my recent hunts🤣🤣
The Rio red and the ParaOlympic are both great coins in hand.
Thanks for your support.

Thanks Dan.

That $2 was severely damaged. I collect the damaged coins and return them in a bank bag when i get $ 50 worth. Swap at teller for a note. I keep getting 5c in the occasional $2 roll. A couple nice finds today.

[@grace_faith_]

Great tip Wisey👍 Thanks Grace

[@PhilFindsCollects]

Thanks for the info WIsey.
Luckily this poor coin was accepted back through the Deposit machine.
I was very surprised.

[@PhilFindsCollects]

Very Nice Wayne.

[@Alrik.]

Thumbs up!

[@PhilFindsCollects]

Thanks Alrik

[@kaynefryday6637]

Cool you got a few nice finds

[@PhilFindsCollects]

Thanks Kayne,
Not too bad i think.

[@DavetheDamo]

Hi phil. I think there's a ballot tomorrow for the naidoc 50c coin.

[@PhilFindsCollects]

Certainly is.

[@CABL-TylerBaratta]

Hey Phil, are you ever going to order some pre decimal coins and hunt through them?
Are these type of questions annoying? cause I know I asked you about world coin hunts
In my opinion Woolworths and anaconda should release those types of books
for the next book you should put the coins in those type of books you put your 1st book in like the one you got at Thompsons coins - I hope that makes sense

[@PhilFindsCollects]

Thanks Tyler.
I love all the questions, even the harder ones like yours, 😁
Probably not pre-decimal hunts.
I would have really liked folders for the Woolies or Anaconda coins.
But i don't think that they will spend the money on something that they dont think will sell and make a profit.

How often do you find errors in Australia? Hello all the way from Canada.

[@PhilFindsCollects]

Hi Nathan,
Well i find errors pretty regularly.
Mainly Die chips and rim CUD's
some lamination errors as well
But the key errors, Mules and rotation errors are a bit harder for me so maybe, once every couple of years.
