It's a lamination error caused by an impurity in the metal.

Thanks for the info coaster. Why do I find Queen Elizabeth 2 so much more attractive with that scar running along her face?

1922 Threepence Doubled Die reverse Great Pics.,fairly common(to scarce) in 1922 3d's when sorting large numbers with a USB scope. Guy in our small group of collectors up here on the North Coast of NSW(Aust.). found a 22 3d where the Mint has had several attempts to locate the final 2. So further proves,along with the 1922/21 OD,that the Melbourne Mint were modifying Hubs/Dies. Whether London knew or approved is another debate. I'll throw the Pics. up when I find them. |

A recent aquisition. 1952 Australian Shilling. Can't decide if it is an off-centre Broad Strike (Struck outside collar) or a Mis-Strike. It has no rim milling, and is relatively flat, perhaps slightly dished on the reverse. Also slightly upset 11:30 Any thoughts?   The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.

Some rare overdates being auction at the moment. I really enjoy this forum, the information exchange is fantastic. I have seen the blakesly effect with clipped coins but didn't know it was associated with broad strikes.....who knew! Thanks ryurazu.  The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.

Australia 1970 1 Cent looks like someone did some doctoring 2.509g To my untrained eye it looks like a planchet flaw with a nice delamination going on, but I have been wrong on many occasions.  The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.

As symmetrical as the area is I think it is a retained foldover lamination. The area overlapping the rim separated and folded over before the strike and then to further complicate things, after the strike, the bottom part started to delaminate.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
