Kingz Pillar of the Community Netherlands 626 Posts	Posted 03/21/2012 2:52 pm Looks like a extreme locally filled die, or perhaps a restrike / overstrike of the date? I also see in the catalog that there is an Iron variation and a extremely rare Copper variation (which has known counterfeits). So maybe it has something to do with this, but I doubt it. Anyways, it's cool looking error Edited by Kingz 03/21/2012 2:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 03/21/2012 3:13 pm I think the "49" looks different because it was punched seperately into each die. Here is a page discussing 1 Markka varieties for 1949 Report this Post to the Staff

I didn't know there were so many variations of this coin 1mk 1949 VI: Tips are different lenght, H close to a handle of the sword. "4" re-engraved!
