Moniker Pillar of the Community Sweden 1397 Posts	Posted 07/22/2024 1:18 pm So I bought a Sol cheap, it has some strange gouges on the rims, I have since seen several 1871 with the same types of gouges, they are to deep to be from cleaning. Is the plancet misplaced? looks like its folded over. ITs show at 3 oclock and at 9. Would be strange if its PMD and several coins show same type of PMD. In this first post I post the examples I found in a quick search. Next post, my coin. grateful for help Edited by Moniker 07/22/2024 2:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff

t360 Pillar of the Community United States 2682 Posts	Posted 07/22/2024 2:20 pm Look like adjustment marks, made by the mint before striking. More commonly found on 18th century silver coins, especially French ecus. Report this Post to the Staff
Moniker Pillar of the Community Sweden 1397 Posts	Posted 07/22/2024 2:23 pm Thank you both, so that mean it could grade straight? Any idea of grade low au? Good luster seems to be right even the top pop has these marks https://www.pcgs.com/valueview/peru...988176&h=pop Edited by Moniker 07/22/2024 2:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

wizened Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 08/14/2024 4:26 pm The Peruvian Sol in your possession appears a somewhat weak or defective strike, as is the counter-stamp of Guatemala. So that coin would not have much value IMO. Here is one for sale on ebay for $250 (overpriced). It has the guatemala counter-mark on both sides, not just one. item: 305723492123 Here is a very nice one for sale on ebay for $129 buy it now. item: 116284076534 I will note that there are reports of this coin being commonly counterfeited. So worth weighing it, checking for silver content. Report this Post to the Staff
Moniker Pillar of the Community Sweden 1397 Posts	Posted 08/15/2024 10:44 am Thank you for input Wizened I appreciate it.Weight and Size checks out.I to think its diealigment and diedeterioation. This might affect eyeappeal and desirability. But some ppl collect errorcoins aswell. I only paid 30 $ so I can't go wrong Even the top graded one has these errors. I like the counterstamped ones Edited by Moniker 08/15/2024 10:46 am Report this Post to the Staff
