They described it as:- (S) 1937 - Circular die flaw on obv lustrous UNC. Does anyone know if this die flaw is common, please ? ... and what it would be worth... Thanks so much !

Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 02/23/2014 4:52 pm Looks like a scratch in the shape of a semi-circle starting in the hair above HM's ear curving around in front of his ear and ending at the bottom right of the neck, but I very much doubt that it's a die flaw. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff

Not saying thats what it is on this Crown but it looks similar to other eg's I've seen. Edited by Basil 02/23/2014 7:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff

jpl Valued Member Australia 354 Posts	Posted 02/24/2014 01:10 am G Day Ben. If you are able to take a Pic as close as your camera can get ( Len's= 10-12mm )(Macro Setting) but on an "Angle" to get a 3D Perception of the Coin's outline flaw. There are two good way's to take Pic's, (Bird's Eye =2D & Angle =3D) View's. jpl.. Hope this can help. Report this Post to the Staff
