gnome Valued Member Australia 364 Posts	Posted 09/03/2022 5:15 pm Have to agree with you there ttkoo, sometimes it is hard to see the picture clearly enough with all the lines in play. That , 2003 however, is a form of dye deterioration called design berm, I believe. Edited by gnome 09/04/2022 01:45 am Report this Post to the Staff

ttkoo Pillar of the Community Australia 677 Posts	Posted 09/03/2022 11:14 pm A design berm. I've heard the expression before, related to dirt mounds. So maybe some cases of MD may be this form of Die Deterioration. Very interesting, thanks gnome. The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient. Report this Post to the Staff

ryurazu Pillar of the Community Australia 1302 Posts	Posted 09/04/2022 10:46 pm sticky beak? yeah there common on 2003 however yours is definitely a very nice and large area that has deteriorated and is rare. Also the obverse can sometimes have some extra bits. Swap list: http://goccf.com/t/334449 Report this Post to the Staff
ttkoo Pillar of the Community Australia 677 Posts	Posted 09/05/2022 05:03 am I like it, it's a nice coin, in pretty good shape for near 20 years in the wild. The ding on the obverse is likely a bag mark inflicted at the mint. You are getting together a nice little collection of 5 cent oddities, well done. The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.

Sap Moderator Australia 14960 Posts	Posted 10/05/2022 10:57 pm Yes, this is definitely what would be known in Australia as a "cud" (everyone else calls them "die chips" unless they're touching the rim), and a fairly major one. Well, three cuds, if we include the piece on the left bar of the "5" and the piece between the leftmost claws. I'd also agree that with this many bits broken off the die, this is quite a deteriorated die. But I'm not seeing anything qualifying as a variety on the obverse. 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
