erkle Pillar of the Community 1119 Posts	Posted 02/01/2012 9:19 pm not really, maybe not a grinder, a clearer close up would help. but I often find coins with parts worn off that appear to have been scraped or ground down by perhaps being stuck in a coin counter? but like I said a better close up would show if thats the case.

enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 02/02/2012 06:12 am Looks like the die was filled when struck. Havent seen one there before. The error expert aka nancy will probably know better. Report this Post to the Staff
Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 02/02/2012 6:19 pm I see quite a lot of this, I assume it's from an oil/grease filled die, but I don't know that for certain. It's often noticeable on the rev of 10c coins on edges of the '10'. Sometimes the coins do look as though they've been 'scraped' with something very rough. Any other theories? life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
