january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5174 Posts	Posted 12/31/2015 4:58 pm Looks like Die Deterioration to me, personally. I've seen similar looking "rims" on recent Russian 1 and 2 ruble coins (though they aren't usually quite as even). Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 12/31/2015 6:00 pm I don't think it is an error. Although I do not know this series, in my opinion, it is a die variety. Report this Post to the Staff

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 01/01/2016 2:57 pm The die chips are nice, but the middle coin WA simply struck by excessively worn dies. Report this Post to the Staff

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 01/01/2016 3:28 pm Dies wear faster on the outer edges. I've seen older Canadian coins (it was nickels I think, can't remember exactly) with denticles that look like yours, has that melted-into-the-fields look. I think your first coin also is a product of Die Deterioration on the obverse, but I'm not sure about the other side. It may just be damage from a coin rolling machine. Report this Post to the Staff
