appleangel07 Pillar of the Community Australia 1607 Posts	Posted 04/01/2014 04:44 am Very interesting coin Shane, from the pictures it would appear the coin has been struck a number of times. Is there any damage or change in the edge reeding ? The slight differences in wieght & size really is'nt an issue IMO. Also what happening in this area,just looks like it's a possible flaw ?

shanew Pillar of the Community Australia 1041 Posts	Posted 04/01/2014 04:54 am if it was struck a few time it would be bigger you hit things and they spread this coin is under size but the rim is larger so the image is smaller could it be a fake 20c hope that makes cense Report this Post to the Staff
shanew Pillar of the Community Australia 1041 Posts	Posted 04/01/2014 06:05 am appleangle07 I think it is a unfinished die or may be a test die maybe as the die finish was not done it looks very rough and the highs you can see the cut marks so its smaller lighter and rough Report this Post to the Staff
The Unicorn Pillar of the Community Australia 750 Posts	Posted 04/01/2014 07:23 am Gee Shane to me it looks like someone has gouged the rim on the reverse side out with a tool. (ie: lathe etc). The high points of the milling on the rim looks worn away or flattened too. (Possibly from where it was being held while being gouged). Perhaps that would explain both the minor loss in weight and size. Just a theory. Edited by The Unicorn 04/01/2014 07:24 am Report this Post to the Staff
