kg5 Valued Member Australia 491 Posts	Posted 03/11/2013 10:37 pm Well! It is the 1st something I have found. What do you think? To me it looks like an add on more than a scratch. But what do I know? kg5 Report this Post to the Staff

kg5 Valued Member Australia 491 Posts	Posted 03/12/2013 12:49 am Thank you robster! So it a one off type error? An error that has only a novelty value to the collector? Report this Post to the Staff
robster Pillar of the Community Australia 674 Posts	Posted 03/12/2013 01:06 am If it is indeed struck through 'wire' it is worth keeping.!(plus the coin looks in good nick) Report this Post to the Staff
enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 03/12/2013 02:27 am Its a scratch for sure. If it was a strike through then there would not be those raised bits around the edges of the valley. Report this Post to the Staff

enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 03/13/2013 01:49 am Ive only seen one coin that has has the object it was struck over retained. From memory it was an entire bolt on a 20c or 50c coin. Pretty sure the mint has it. The strike troughs I have seen have all had a relatively rounded edge about the depression when compared to this depression. Chances it is struck through wire that was retained and then pulled out would have to be 1 in 10,000,000 or more. 1 in 10 coins probably have a scratch like that. I know where id be putting my money.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 03/13/2013 02:48 am Minor micro meteroid impact, at a very shallow angle. In all honesty, I have to run with enworb on this one. A sharp hardened point has been dragged along the surface. Try this in a piece of cheese with a fork prong. Report this Post to the Staff
