The Unicorn Pillar of the Community Australia 750 Posts	Posted 02/13/2013 9:41 pm Squire, is it my eyes or can I see the number 5 about 1/4" down from the base of the 2 and 1/4" to the right of the claw? Report this Post to the Staff
Squire Wilson Pillar of the Community Australia 653 Posts	Posted 02/13/2013 10:35 pm ...yes, I think you are right The Unicorn . That would indicate that it is likely to be PMD. I shall have a closer look at the coin tonight and try to take a better picture. Thanks a lot for your input, The Unicorn, Candace and ozcoins . Squire Report this Post to the Staff
Peter S Thomas Valued Member Australia 216 Posts	Posted 02/14/2013 12:39 am Ok going back to the original coin, consensus or in this coinsensus, indicates that this is a lamination. Just some thoughts on how this may have come about. There is a distinct deeper part of the flaw near the II. This makes me think that a piece of slag occupied that spot. This caused a weakness in the metal that during rolling expanded. The final blow, as it were, was the coin press that finally caused the metal above the slag to lit during minting, tearing back the metal which finally broke of leaving the "tag" near Liz. The cracks radiating out from the "flaw" could also be explained by the presence of the slag in the original billet. maybe.... Still a nice addition though however it came about.

Squire Wilson Pillar of the Community Australia 653 Posts	Posted 02/14/2013 5:35 pm I have examined the 1972 20 cent coin mentioned previously in greater detail. I have attached a pic below. Under the Lupe the "5" mentioned by The Unicorn reveals itself as three scratches (yellow circle). The semicircular indentation has a raised rim (red dotted line, also annotated by blue arrow). So, not a "MUCH rarer type of "wavy"". Just PMD Squire Report this Post to the Staff
The Unicorn Pillar of the Community Australia 750 Posts	Posted 02/14/2013 5:41 pm Excellent pics Squire! That's amazing that it's 3 scraches .... I love it, looks like a lovely 5 (even on the closeups). Hopefully the real wavy next time eh! Report this Post to the Staff
Squire Wilson Pillar of the Community Australia 653 Posts	Posted 02/14/2013 5:56 pm I have a "wavy" in my collection already. But a "companion" is always appreciated !. I showed the wavy to my Valentine yesterday . I think she appreciated its uniqueness and value Squire Report this Post to the Staff
