Was noodling today and found this  Firstly is it a 66 wavy? And secondly... It's pretty much ruined now is t it? (hence the crying) or is this a genuine error? |

Oh man...
I think I'm also going to cry!
though it could be that the strike caused a bump in the 2... is there a gap between the wave and the platypus head? that will tell you its london at least.

looking at a website....it looks like its london...the wave near the head is very thin...thinner than usual and tapers towards the head :(

That would look good in my collection  go perfect with my 950 halfpenny that had a shave  But serious I'd still keep it but what a shame  |

the back of the coin had a mark similar to it...I will upload better pics when my camera charges....I still have my doubts though.
AS a newbie...how do those marks get made on a coin?

Bright side : better to have found that than nothing. Frame it and put it on your wall. Correct side : Scream loudly and then go to the bank and get more coins. ...or do both Edit :  Just hit the 250 mark. Edited by dibby33

Ikiriki,
To me, the bump looks like it was made by whatever made the damage, but I think better photos will help people get a better idea.
Congratulations Dibby33!

I think it's a 99.9% probability that it's PMD, but .1% of me will look forward to seeing clearer piccies, just in case I'm wrong.  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved
