What would have caused that? Is there any thing on the obverse tht could clash there? They dont look like die cracks either? Possibly very thick metal flow lines?

I think metal flow lines. Nothing unusual about the Obverse.!  |

How long would it take you to go through 1000 half pennies looking for errors Rob? I have a few I'm going to launch soon but youre welcome to have a look through em first. I've only checked dates and looked for any really obvious errors. You can have what ever you find.

This is the third coin I looked at in my Half Penny group not sure of the grade, but I'm knew at this. It also seems to be struck a little off center, a lot of stretching and something going on near the rim.  Edited by daveyn

Here is another I found in this last group I have been going through:  I went to my local coin club meeting last night, we usually have 8 to 10 dealers setup each meeting. The world coin dealer/club expert had only 2 Australian penny and no Half penny, I was pretty disappointed. He promised to do better next month now that he knows someone is interested in them. |

Hello enworb,
does your 62 have the same reverse die fill as mine?

Thanks for the pic, the two coins are almost identical, I have a lot of researching to do, didn't know Perth Mint strikes were weaker than others. I have a lot to learn about Australian die making, materials, and striking. I sure appreciate all the help, Dave |
