spilver New Member Australia 3 Posts	Posted 07/15/2013 4:41 pm Hi All, A friend at work scored a 1972 5 cent noodling the petty ca$h box the other week and was inspired to go through the 5 cent jar at home. no moer 72's but she dug this one out. Looks like a mint error to me, but what do you all think? cheers, Spil. OK, tried to get closer, all I had handy was my iphone and a 10x loupe, Edited by spilver 07/16/2013 4:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 07/16/2013 6:44 pm I still can't say for sure if it's genuine error or not. I'd really need to have the actual coin in hand before I made any statement as to its authenticity. I will add that with the close up of the Obv, it's looking better for spilver but I just can't see what part of the minting process would produce an error like this. I'm still Sorry spilver, but can you get any close ups of the edge milling? life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff

The Unicorn Pillar of the Community Australia 750 Posts	Posted 07/16/2013 8:15 pm One very odd coin spilver. I'm wondering how it's even staying in one piece! Would have to have been an extremelly hard and sharp and fine cutting instrument for it to be PMD, but like Nevol, I'm lost for a non PMD cause. More questions than answers from me.
