Sap Moderator Australia 16961 Posts	Posted Yesterday 11:46 pm Whenever I see a coin where the entire name of the queen is completely obliterated, and *nothing else* is affected at all, I admit I will tend to assume it's PMD vandalism, rather than a mint error. It's just too much of a coincidence for me. 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.

SallyG Valued Member Australia 397 Posts	Posted Today 6H 54M ago That's an interesting coin. Sort of looks too 'perfect' with the missing name but then again the back of the crown and the front paws of the 'roo look a bit weak. Can a " Greaser" get affected on both sides? In any case, I would defer to Sap's judgement. I'm certainly not an expert. If I found that it would be added to my Odds and Sods collection anyway. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16961 Posts	Posted Today 3H 45M ago Quote: Can a " Greaser" get affected on both sides? Grease buildup tends to be a property of the die, rather than a die-pair. Finding grease-fill on both sides of the coin is not impossible, just improbable. And too many improbable things happening all at once make me start to invoke Ockham's Razor again. 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
