sfitzernator Valued Member Australia 271 Posts	Posted 11/15/2013 07:25 am Just got back into to town and collected my couple of kilos of pennies from the post office...the obverse on this one looks a little different...I am curious as to what happened to this one, either in the mint, or I the 100 years since. Please....... Report this Post to the Staff

oh my florin Pillar of the Community Australia 1006 Posts	Posted 11/15/2013 07:47 am PMD most definitely looks like it's been melted a bit? Actually another possibility would be an electrolysis reaction? (from chemistry class) or prehaps being subjected to copious amounts of acid? Report this Post to the Staff

oh my florin Pillar of the Community Australia 1006 Posts	Posted 11/15/2013 10:17 pm Yeah I mean how in the world could that happen at the mint and especially if no one has seen it before only really adds to the conclusion of PMD. Report this Post to the Staff
sfitzernator Valued Member Australia 271 Posts	Posted 11/16/2013 12:27 am There are two things I'm curious about. The legend on the obverse appears closer to the crown than what I think it should be (I should probably take some measurements to confirm if this is the case, and not just an optical illusion). The other is the extra metal. Unless, it just looks that way, and the planchet has bubbled or raised, to give that appearance. Report this Post to the Staff
