@@australiaisnotrealjustaska4379 I appreciate that but I will say if it werent for their inspiration and support I wouldnt be doing it. I'm just a noobie round here :D @PhilFindsCollects @TassieCoinHunter @CoinCudsCollect are 3 great channels I recommend.
@@stevepunter3704 I have about 1/4 - 1/3 of each Coin Hunt set. I imagine it will be quite a while before I find them all with the noodling the way it is lately. Really after the O for Opal from series 3, thats my other main hobby, opal cutting. Its on hold for now though until I find a more permanent residence.
@@NomadUniverse understandable, I still don’t have my own place after being evicted cos the landlord sold the house 😒. I enjoy metal detecting as it’s been relaxing, rewarding to a degree and keeps my mind off the stresses of life for a while 👍. When I get my own place I will be setting up my desk and sorting, culling, adding and upgrading heaps of coins to my collections 💪🍻🥳. Just have to find a place before I get too excited 😒. I’ll have to send you some pics of some stuff I’ve found.
@@stevepunter3704 I'll be doing a Discord server at some point where everyone can post pics and discuss coins. I hope you find a place soon. Just went through it myself.
Great content bro. Keep up the good work. There are big differences between batches and sub batches.Depending on what you keep one batch will be better than another but there ARE differences.
@@NomadUniverse So yeah. It's a bit of a thing. I'm what you might call a high volume $1 freak averaging about 10-15k a week and there are differences. Wind the clock back to 2021-22 and all anyone was getting were red rolls, then we got purple which were for six months or more drier than a dingoes toes. Then we got orange! Then we got a mix of old and new reds then old and new purples all with different kinds of green for the Armaguard logo. then oranges etc etc etc. What you've gotta understand more than anything is that the brown paper tones over time and darkens. The lighter the brown paper the less exposure it has had to elements and the "newer/fresher" it can be considered to be. Of the many different kinds of toned oranges then lighter the paper the more recent it has been rolled and old dark brown papered purples were rolled a long time ago.
@@TimBoss2000 well thats all very interesting. I've only seen the dark red and the orange. Orange has a greener armorguard shield, red bluer. I statred about 3 months ago and got all orange rolls up until about a moth ago when the red started appearing for me. Which ones yield better for you?
@@NomadUniverse good question bro. What you call red are what I call purple. What yields better well that depends what you collect lol I collect mules and I've found them in everything. But I'll give you a bit of a breakdown. Old reds the old old reds from three years ago had 2021 mors and plenty of UNC nifcs. Old reds provided me UNC 89,90,91,07,12 Mors (the whole set) 2001 rotations and all manner of things. There's nothing since quite like the good old old reds. The old reds gave me two mules. Then there were the first purples - good GACHs etc and a lot of stuff that I just throw back big things, AFLs, matildas, anzacs... the later purples brought forth the Charlies but there were also some 2021s thrown in occassionally after the great audit of Xmas 2023 and the prosegur takeover. The oranges are lighter on the UNC stuff and heavy on AFLs but generally have a lot of the 2000s and you can't find mules that aren't 2000s unless you reckon there are 2014 mules lol (I've never found one and I've noodled +/- one million one dollar coins [0.1% of the population]) Like anything there are variables in batches ie. Paper toning can vary but generally when the first roll drops out of a machine I know what's in it, how fresh it is, when it was rolled, where it was rolled and by whom it was rolled. There have been plenty of times that I've had $1200 cash to empty a full machine but have had to walk away after dropping sixty bucks because another machine may yield better.
The other thing that Armaguard enjoy doing in SEQ as a method of regulating circulation is to introduce what I call "tracer coins". Periodically they will introduce very damaged and highly polished junk coins into the pit and count how many come back to them. High volumes of return indicate high volumes of circulation and they take measures to regulate circulation.
I didn't even know there was other channels I'm just sticking with your

Wow man, the K for kangaroo has been the most difficult one for me to find 🤷♂️.
Took 3 years for me to find one, I now have four 👍.

Sorry you lost me...what coins are you referring to when you talk about batches?
