sasgamo New Member Australia 7 Posts	Posted 09/26/2012 12:39 am Hi All, Can anyone say if this an error on the coin? I am talking about the arc under the text "sir henry parkes 1815-1896". The back of the coin has no such blemish. I run my fingernail over the arc blemish but I can't feel anything Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

Australian coin Pillar of the Community Australia 1244 Posts	Posted 09/27/2012 01:13 am There are certain errors that can happen in the production of a coin. These are called mint errors, after they have left the mint; they are no longer errors but post mint damage. Report this Post to the Staff

The Coin Hunter Valued Member Australia 148 Posts	Posted 09/29/2012 4:48 pm I'not sure if the marks come from a vending machine but more likely from a coin rolling machine. Never the less still pretty common and annoying PMD especially when it occurs on a rarer coin. TCH Report this Post to the Staff
