I know there has been mention of the following before, but I've searched the forum for all sorts of different things & couldn't find it. Anyway here it is. (in the past I was told it was a re-cut die, but then I found out it wasn't on this forum). It looks like a blow out if there's such a definition? Report this Post to the Staff

The majority of 2007 50 cent coins have it. Report this Post to the Staff

markn Pillar of the Community Australia 1295 Posts	Posted 07/20/2012 12:48 am Broken or worn dies. The corners of the 0 on the die (which remember is incuse) have either broken or worn away and rather than being a nice neat right angle are a now chamfered. The result is what you see on the 0 of that coin. A visual image is that on a new die the incuse 0 is like a sharp edged canal on the Death Star. But when it struck that coin is was more like a gently eroded river valley. Edited by markn 07/20/2012 12:50 am Report this Post to the Staff
The Coin Hunter Valued Member Australia 148 Posts	Posted 07/20/2012 04:26 am I have been collecting these errors when noodling mainly on the 2007 but also on the 1999. They are reasonably common but a nice error. Report this Post to the Staff
goatieman23 Pillar of the Community Australia 869 Posts	Posted 07/20/2012 6:48 pm Yeah, it's 2007, silly me forgot to mention. Coin hunter, I've also found quite a few in 2008. I'll probably keep the best two examples & sell the rest if they spark someones interest. Report this Post to the Staff
