Sap Moderator Australia 16949 Posts	Posted 09/10/2021 7:37 pm It's not a mint error, but post-mint damage. My assumption would be someone fired it with a blowtorch. This creates "ripples" on one side like those we see here, while leaving the other side undamaged. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
