mikehy Valued Member South Africa 147 Posts	Posted 06/20/2013 04:18 am Good day All, Would appreciate comments re the grade of the 3 following South African coins. The 1948 looks like it has a rim nick, but on closer inspection it would appear there ws a problem with the blank prior to minting, some form of impurity. Attached is an image showing this from the obverse, rim and then reverse. Any comments/feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and regards, Mike. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 06/29/2013 08:42 am I agree that the coins are listed in descending detail grade order and that the third one is EF. The second is definitely an AU, but the first could make MS. As to the defect I would say that it is a planchet flaw, in the metal prior to minting. KK Report this Post to the Staff
