I know there's a few charts kicking around the web of trivia, but I thought I would have a few that won't have been done yet.
(not all found in NZ BTW)

Hope it's of some help to those that seek such things.

Those readings are right on with my F2... I could fill in the gaps of the other coins if ya like... but remember that worn coins will dip below the "usual" vdi's... a silver .8 gram 3d will be lower than a 1.4 gram 3d. I even sometimes get a 60's reading for the good condition 50% silver 3d's.

Good to hear they match the F2, I included the Kiwi $2 as a baseline to check that all was good.
Only add if you want to, it wasn't meant to be a definitive list, and I just rummaged through my swag tin. Missed a fair few out as a result.
Maybe someone will drag them all together into a single monumental document one day, but it won't be me :)
All were in expected condition for their age (ie as dug)

Personally I find I walk into things if I stare at the screen anyway, so decide to dig based on the tones.
