Well done on the photo. Its a lot better than my first attempt. The coin has suffered some severe PMD and is not an error. You can tell its not a clip by the way the legend at the rim indent has also been pushed towards the centre. |

Splaying? Not nesessarily in this case. Looks like this coin has been in the wars! The centre of pressure for this impact PMD is almost in the middle of the thickness of the coin. There would have been some negilgible thickening if the coin at this point, but the rims have probably worn dowm again. The rims are the part of the coin that are most subject to wear. That is why a coin has rims. They are there to protect the coin. |

It is without. Doubt PMD. If you look at the lettering of AUSTRALIA you will notice ir is curved inwards. This is an impossible occurence during striking because the lettering on the dies cannot move. If the planchet had been clipped before striking the some of the letteing would be missing or weakly struck rather than curved inwards. |
