sav1081 New Member Australia 5 Posts	Posted 10/20/2012 01:03 am its pretty hard to tell, through a magnified glass it looks raised, but through photos it looks sunken. and its too fine to rub your finger nail over it. is there an easier way to tell? Report this Post to the Staff
enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 10/20/2012 01:07 am You should be able to see quite clearly with a 40x loupe. If you dont have one I would suggest buying one. You can pick them up on ebay for literally a couple of bucks. My money is on it being PMD. Report this Post to the Staff
sav1081 New Member Australia 5 Posts	Posted 10/20/2012 01:31 am had another look at it, they do look sunken in. is it worth collecting? would it have any value? where would be the best place to have it inspected? Report this Post to the Staff
enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 10/20/2012 02:37 am If they are sunken in it is most probably PMD and worth 20c. Not really worth having inspected by anyone IMO. Edited by enworb 10/20/2012 02:42 am Report this Post to the Staff
Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 10/20/2012 03:26 am It looks like the 3 lines to the left are most probably impact damage caused by the milling on the rim of another coin, so I agree that it's PMD. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 10/20/2012 04:52 am Below is a picture of a 20c fresh from the enworb mint. The enworb mint uses only the most cutting edge technology (aka a hammer and 2 coins) Sorry sav1081 but in this case I think nancy is spot on. Your coin has been conveniently impacted by another coins edge Report this Post to the Staff
