Ned Flounders New Member Australia 3 Posts	Posted 02/01/2021 8:14 pm Hi there. I'm very much a beginner, but I'm wondering if I've possibly found a unique/new defect coin? The following links are for high-quality ~3MB PNG pictures on 'imgbb' https://ibb.co/Fhrw0nL - Circled https://ibb.co/4SNdWLB - Uncircled ~270KB forum uploads; I figured it looked a little like a fork. It may be wishful thinking, but it doesn't seem likely that it got 3 perfect impressions in the middle of the coin post-mint. Am I being naive? I'm happy to take more/different pictures if needed. This was done at night with my flash, perhaps I can get a better picture in sunlight or with specific lighting. Let me know. Thanks for having me on the forum :) Ned Report this Post to the Staff

karloning Valued Member Australia 401 Posts	Posted 02/02/2021 10:57 pm I have 80 of the 2016 MOR and just checked them. I found a similar marking but higher up - under the roo's neck. Report this Post to the Staff
