Ingine Valued Member Australia 122 Posts	Posted 10/01/2011 11:25 am Hi there, I came across this 10 cent coin which seems to have an error on the obverse. It feels smooth and is very faint. I can't make out if it says 1988 or 1989. Has anyone any information on this coin, such as what the error is called? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

ozcoins Pillar of the Community Australia 1005 Posts	Posted 10/02/2011 04:23 am I am no expert (much more a novice), but my guess would be ' Grease Filled Die'. How does the reeding on the edge look? I would like to see what others with a better idea say. Report this Post to the Staff

Ingine Valued Member Australia 122 Posts	Posted 10/02/2011 06:07 am Hi Ozcoin, this picture shows the reeding, which seems to be in 'normal' condition. I'm pretty sure this is not simply worn, a ' Grease Filled Die' seems more likely. Thanks for the input so far. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 10/02/2011 3:46 pm Check the coin to see if the weight is normal. If it is within tolerance, then I suspect your coin was struck through a capped die and then saw some circulation which wore it down a bit. https://goccf.com/t/70117 Report this Post to the Staff
