If it was machine cut/stamped the grain of the cut would be the othey way I would suspect.
These could also be file marks

If I saw trouts photo on ebay I would buy it as genuine. If that is manufactured then quite possible this 10c is. Other than it looking like cut marks how could the double clip right next to each other be explained? If it was the end of a sheet it would have one clip. If it was the corner the clips would have 90 degrees between them. |

I dont want to bag the coin too much in the likely case I'm wrong, have no clue and shouldve kept my mouth closed. Interesting to see what the experts say  |

Interesting to see what the experts say Hold on enwarb, your opinion is just as valuable as anyone else's  We were not "Bagging" the coin just offering some other explanation for the defect, what is wrong with that |

I am loving the work Trout is putting out of his shed in recent days. It also reminds me that I have to get a coin framed that started the whole illegal to alter a coin law :-)

Oh dear! Extract from Crimes (Currency) Act 1981 Defacing or destroying current coins or current paper money A person shall not, without the consent, in writing, of an authorised person, wilfully deface, disfigure, mutilate or destroy any coin or paper money that is lawfully current in Australia. Penalty: in the case of a person, not being a body corporate - $5,000 or imprisonment for 2 years, or both; or in the case of a person, being a body corporate - $10,000. Note: "Paper money" means money comprising a note written, printed or otherwise made on paper or any other material. Paper money shall be taken to be current paper money if it is lawfully current in Australia or in a country other than Australia by virtue of a law in force in Australia or in that country, as the case may be. All Australian banknotes, of both present and all past issues, are lawfully current in Australia. http://www.rba.gov.au/banknotes/dam...-damage.htmlI hope no Federal Police officer is a coin collector who likes this forum.
