Jeff Pillar of the Community Australia 877 Posts	Posted 02/29/2012 12:11 am I was sorting some Bradman 20¢ (that I originally took from a roll) with a view to listing a few on ebay. Then I noticed several of them have almost identical damage/flaw.... A rough pit in the Queen's cheek. I suspect some dirt or grit on the die. Disappeared or broke up after only a few coins. Let me know your theories -my first theory is often wrong. Jeff Report this Post to the Staff

appleangel07 Pillar of the Community Australia 1607 Posts	Posted 02/29/2012 12:19 am I think your right Jeff,a sticky spot in the die has caused this,I've seen it on a dollar coin I have & was referred to as delamination if I remember correctly. Report this Post to the Staff

ozcoins Pillar of the Community Australia 1005 Posts	Posted 02/29/2012 07:28 am Jeff, This also seems to be a common place for dents. I have a 5c with a similar dent, and I either have (or have seen) 50c. Just guessing, but I think that may be the bottom die, and if something falls in, being near the center and a low point in the detail of the die, whatever falls in, tends to end up there.

Jeff Pillar of the Community Australia 877 Posts	Posted 03/01/2012 5:48 pm Yes, it may be common. I was just sorting some 2011 50¢ bags (to select the best to keep) when I came across one of those with virtually identical pit. Jeff Report this Post to the Staff
