the-purple-penny Pillar of the Community Australia 515 Posts	Posted 03/22/2012 01:56 am If it were oil on the die it would be incuse a rough hole or impression. Your coin looks toned? or something it has come into contact with has just changed the surface colour? http://www.australian-threepence.co...ugh-oil.html The coin in this link was struck through oil, the oil sat over the date on the die and it struck the coin causing an incuse rough patch on the coin. I know the oil was on the die as there were a few coins in the roll with the same defect. Report this Post to the Staff
Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 03/22/2012 03:54 am It doesn't appear to be struck through oil. I can't think what would cause this, is there any sign if it being raised above the rest of the surface of the coin, as in small puddles of say glue or resin? The coin may have had some chemical applied to it that has affected the colour, not sure what chemical would do it. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 03/22/2012 06:08 am the $1 is made of an alloy. I'm wondering if what AC has is an imperfect combination of the constituent metals ? Report this Post to the Staff

markn Pillar of the Community Australia 1295 Posts	Posted 03/22/2012 8:48 pm Not sure how this was stored but I have seen the surfaces of coins affected by PVC/Softeners when they are stored in 2x2's in PVC album pages. Typically this appears on the high points of the coin as the PVC/softener leaches through the mylar where it's pressing against the album page. I wonder if in this case something like this has happened and reacted the coin surface to produce the effect you're seeing. Report this Post to the Staff
Australian coin Pillar of the Community Australia 1244 Posts	Posted 03/23/2012 01:17 am O silly I am putting my coins in your folders to prevent them turning weird. None of mine were stored in 2x2. They have been stored in a tissue in a box. I seen one or two that went weird when stored in zip bags, they tarnished with spots on them and I put them back to circulation and looked for better ones. This one just appeared different; I might soak the coin later on and see if it comes off with a cotton bud. It would be awesome if it was a mixed planchet Report this Post to the Staff
markn Pillar of the Community Australia 1295 Posts	Posted 03/23/2012 01:49 am The purple penny folders are not PVC. They are safe polypropylene and coins stored in them wont tone due to the folder or it's materials. Report this Post to the Staff
