 This is one of our finds from the recent Melbourne ANDA. Struck through a crescent clipped blank. Read More About it Here.

The only thing that gives it away as not being a shed job is that the beading on the rim has survived.
To be very honest, I am not all THAT convinced.
More comments from others?

There's no damage to the obverse design opposite the indent at all. Exactly the same as an regular indent error or a partial brockage. That's all the proof anyone should need. The raised lip on the obverse is a dead give-away too.

Cool lookin coin Mark  so if I'm thinking right here,it is the small piece ( the clip scrap ) that has caused the indent,yes ? |

Yes Apple, most likely it was the curved part left over from an elliptical clip.

Certainly, the rim beads on the obverse are more sharply struck opposite to the indent on the reverse.

I like that there is still a rim
Does that mean that a florin has a raised rim on the planchet before it is struck?
Or just there was more pressure to the middle part of the piece of meatal that caused this.

decimal coins have a rim before the planchet is struck between the dies.
I'm only guessing that the pre-decimals used the same or a similar process.
I'm not into errors, but that's a very interesting piece; and good pics too.
