That "tooth" is called a denticle. It is neither a die flaw or a variety, it is a partial Grease Filled Die. Quit common and adds no real value. From the dark photos supplied, cannot see any line. |

Thank you Mrwhiskers ( that was funny  ) , and JimmyD (sorry if I offended you) and I was led to believe that they can be called teeth or beads as well as denticles, especially in UK, and my use of my microscope is not as good as some might be, will try and get better pictures in future  |

Very funny guys  , but we have had coins going back centuries earliest was probably Elizabeth 1st with teeth (denticulus meaning small teeth, sounds like something out of Harry Potter )and beads ( pellets, not denticles) in order to prevent clipping, so we refer to each differently, although the modern day has incorporated that denticles be the proper term for modern day use  |

@Safi...Hi...in no way was I meaning to make fun of you ... all this nonsense is a jest at coin design, & to not take so seriously things that are inconsequential (specifically; terminology...) ... I'd call those little bumps around the rim "teeth" also...as all places have their own peculiar terms for many things ... ...to those who insist on learning to using "correct" terms, I say: ...expand your knowledge & learn the variances as well... BTW...I'm a redneck, raised in south Mississippi, & I say we call them udders!... ...(obviously, sometimes my "humor" gets a bit out-of-hand, pun intended...) Edited by mrwiskers

Well, well, well, it looks like I have opened a can of worms, bring it on my lovelies, if it keeps you out of mischief elsewhere, I'm still sticking with teeth/beads, and mrwiskers I love the pun |
