Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2875 Posts	Posted 01/17/2016 11:07 am Looks fine to me. Do I see a ghost image of an obverse double strike there as well with a rotated die of about 90 degrees?

Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2875 Posts	Posted 01/17/2016 12:58 pm If you look at the "I" of Victoria you can just about make out a faint hair ribbon on the inside of it. IE the coin was previously struck - then got rotated in the die collar about 90 degrees then struck again. It's this final strike that you see but some traces of that older strike are still visible. The small "I" type mark under Victoria's head looks like another remnant - as does the faint letter you can see just at the top of Victoria's crown of her head (looks like the thick part of an "A").

Numister Pillar of the Community Singapore 631 Posts	Posted 01/18/2016 11:21 am I studied the coin under magnification but couldn't see any marks, probably the photograph had some lighting issues which made things show up that won't there. Report this Post to the Staff
