The Unicorn Pillar of the Community Australia 750 Posts	Posted 06/03/2013 8:36 pm Nice one Robster. Geez he has some stretch marks! Report this Post to the Staff
enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 06/03/2013 9:51 pm 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? Edited by enworb 06/03/2013 9:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
robster Pillar of the Community Australia 674 Posts	Posted 06/04/2013 12:10 am I think metal flow lines. Nothing unusual about the Obverse.! Report this Post to the Staff

enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 06/05/2013 01:03 am 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.

daveyn Valued Member United States 160 Posts	Posted 07/04/2013 10:45 pm 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 07/04/2013 10:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
daveyn Valued Member United States 160 Posts	Posted 07/06/2013 5:51 pm 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.

enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 07/06/2013 7:33 pm Theyre both really nice little coins. I judt purchased a 1962 half penny with the exact same diecrack. Report this Post to the Staff
daveyn Valued Member United States 160 Posts	Posted 07/06/2013 7:46 pm Hello enworb, does your 62 have the same reverse die fill as mine? Report this Post to the Staff
enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 07/06/2013 10:47 pm Heres a link to the coin I purchased http://www.thepurplepenny.com/918,a...e-crack.html Lookd like the date is a bit weak. Thats very common in perth minted copper of the late 50s and particularly the early 60s. Report this Post to the Staff
daveyn Valued Member United States 160 Posts	Posted 07/07/2013 05:13 am 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 Report this Post to the Staff
