Hondo Boguss Pillar of the Community United States 2880 Posts	Posted 06/07/2023 6:15 pm Some scratches and scrapes on Madonna, but I got it at a good price. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 5976 Posts	Posted 06/07/2023 8:29 pm Congratulations! This classic type is on my list. Maybe those are just adjustment marks on the madonna (i.e. a part of the coin's history, and not PMD)? Report this Post to the Staff
Hondo Boguss Pillar of the Community Topic Starter United States 2880 Posts	Posted 06/07/2023 8:35 pm tdziemia, the auction pics certainly obscured the extent of the damage to the Madonna, but I'll hang on to it.

thq Pillar of the Community United States 2844 Posts	Posted 06/07/2023 10:46 pm Almost certainly adjustment marks. Those mint workers really knew how to mess up a coin's main features. Here they went after Louis XVIII and combed his hair. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime." Fred Astaire Edited by thq 06/08/2023 9:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff
beem Valued Member United States 483 Posts	Posted 06/08/2023 6:06 pm Congrats on your first Thaler! It won't be long until you get your second, it's an addiction. :) Report this Post to the Staff
Hondo Boguss Pillar of the Community Topic Starter United States 2880 Posts	Posted 06/08/2023 6:18 pm Thanks, beem! tdziemia and thq, did it not occur to the mint workers to adjust the weight BEFORE the coin was struck? Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
thq Pillar of the Community United States 2844 Posts	Posted 06/08/2023 9:15 pm I believe they did adjust planchets before striking. The marks survive best on the highest points of the relief. They don't usually show in the fields. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime." Fred Astaire Edited by thq 06/08/2023 9:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Hondo Boguss Pillar of the Community Topic Starter United States 2880 Posts	Posted 06/08/2023 9:32 pm Ahhh, thank you, thq. That makes sense. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
