CudLee Valued Member Australia 60 Posts	Posted 11/06/2015 6:45 pm no ideas anyone ? I am thinking maybe blank had mark's before minting but wouldn't die stamp over that? Report this Post to the Staff
numismatic biz Valued Member United Kingdom 152 Posts	Posted 11/06/2015 8:12 pm Your coin is in a Blister/Flat Pack Had a couple of sets in the past with same markings only on TONED copper coins. my theory a hair or piece of lint was on the die or planchet/flan before striking or after striking. The lint or hair was greasy / oily so stops that part of coin from toning So line becomes visible when coin tones Report this Post to the Staff
Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 11/06/2015 8:17 pm Looks like it has toned due to close proximity of another coin. Coins in plastic holders are not 'safe' and this is often the result. See if another coin will fit on the area that is affected. I'd call it environmental damage. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
