ozcoins Pillar of the Community Australia 1005 Posts	Posted 12/21/2012 08:44 am While looking for incused flag coins, I have seen a few 2000 50c coins with a fairly large shallow dent just below the right of the union jack on the flag. I think this is probably a strike through. Does anyone know about these? Report this Post to the Staff

Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 12/21/2012 3:05 pm I do have a vague recollection of them, but I doubt that I kept any, as I used to not bother with strike through coins at all as they seemed so common. Have you got a picture? life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
Jeff Pillar of the Community Australia 877 Posts	Posted 12/21/2012 5:28 pm Very common on the millennium coins. I don't think a strike through, as it is so common. A particular strike through is usually only going to be from one die and maybe for only a short time (if foreign matter dislodges). Not sure what the cause may be. Interested to hear suggestions. I will take a pic. next one I see and post it here. Jeff Report this Post to the Staff
Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 12/21/2012 8:06 pm Jeff is right! All the ones I saw were identical, and strike through usually changes a little with each strike, so maybe the die had a flaw to start with. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff

Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 12/22/2012 02:30 am I can't decide what the cause is, but I do remember seeing multiples of this and they all looked the same. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff

ozcoins Pillar of the Community Australia 1005 Posts	Posted 12/22/2012 03:00 am PS. The topic heading was supposed to have a question mark on the end, as I am not 100% sure it is a "strike through" Report this Post to the Staff
