FNQ Pillar of the Community Australia 507 Posts	Posted 05/18/2013 08:05 am I am following this thread with interest as your coin has an identical appearance to a 1998 coin I found recently. The "scalloping" of the edges and minor teeth give the coin a very rounded appearance. As to the terminology applied and the mint process that has caused this, "ramstrike" seems most likely, but I'm keen to find an exact answer. Report this Post to the Staff
ozcoins Pillar of the Community Australia 1005 Posts	Posted 05/18/2013 09:34 am FNQ, I think the coin in this thread and the one you found are pretty much 50c drier coins. Instead of the whole circumference of a round coin getting worn and spread wider, just the highest points (ie the corners) get knocked and spread. From what I have seen (admittedly not very much) and can understand of the process with a ramstrike the "teeth" should only extend in 1 direction as the corners of the blank get caught on the collar as the die forces the unseated blank into the collar.

jpl Valued Member Australia 354 Posts	Posted 05/18/2013 5:18 pm Good Morning all. It seems we have narrowed this coin to Two possibilities. #1 Enworb said a 5/15 degrees Ramstrike error, (15 degrees, Jaws Teeth) & (5 degrees Gummy Shark Teeth) if the coin is a slight RamStrike error? #2 Ozcoins has had a Brain Storm in his last Post, possible Washing Machine coin? Jeff's thread on RamStrikes Excellent, but I can now see the Teeth are on the flat side edge of the coin, unlike Mine & FNQ'S coin, that has the Teeth on the corners! So I hope someone Today can have a 99.7 Percent Hypothesis of Mine & FNQ'S coin's.( With a couple of Agreements ) What a fall back down to Reality after last nights Posts! O'Well, Mr Trout, just wondering if you have read this Post? Becouse it might require a trip out to the Shed, only if you have a Clothes Dryer? ( and the time ). I am sure FNQ & I would be more than happy if this coin could be Replicated? Then there we should have something conclusive? But I think we are still wanting them to be a ( Slight RamStrike ) of any sort! Cheers jpl.. Edited by jpl 05/18/2013 5:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff
enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 05/18/2013 7:23 pm Ozcoins logic is pretty good. I'm sorry but I think we may have mislead you jumping to the ramstrike conclusion. Report this Post to the Staff
the-purple-penny Pillar of the Community Australia 515 Posts	Posted 05/18/2013 8:43 pm I'm surprised as I have seen another coin just like this. I think it's PMD. Report this Post to the Staff

Looks like a Dryer Coin to me That doesn't mean to say this was done in a clothes dryer it is simply a term to describe this particular type of PMD. Report this Post to the Staff
trelcola New Member Australia 10 Posts	Posted 09/02/2013 9:29 pm This is my 'ramstrike'. Tried hitting one with a hammer to create this result but was obviously not the same. Unfortunately I don't have a drier to try :( Report this Post to the Staff
