Kafka Valued Member Canada 352 Posts	Posted 04/30/2014 10:47 am Found these errors while going through my pre-decimal Aussies. Are the errors accurate? Are they even errors? Common? Uncommon? Thanks so much. Die clash Not sure if this is PMD Planchet error at the top? The denticles thin out. Is this an error? Report this Post to the Staff

The line from the final A across the ears onto the back looks like a deep scratch. #2: planchet delamination. Not really technically a mint error, since this can also happen post-mint. #3/4: yes, I think so. #5/6: PMD, I believe: something round - probably another halfpenny - has been squeezed down onto the rim of the coin. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

nealeffendi Pillar of the Community Australia 852 Posts	Posted 05/05/2014 08:25 am I don't think #4 is PMD. The denticle weakness is showing on both sides at the top op the coin and there is no sign of damage to the rim itself which I'd expect if another halfpenny had caused the problem. Also look at the base of the cross pattee and ELIZ. Perhaps a problem in the strike? Report this Post to the Staff
