Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 12/11/2017 3:57 pm Sorry, Looks like PMD (Post Mint Damage) to me also. Flat rim at approx 3-4k most likely from where the coin was 'held' while damage was being inflicted. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16809 Posts	Posted 12/11/2017 5:01 pm Agreed, post-mint damage. From the looks of the other side, it has seen considerable circulation. It is unreasonable that a coin with such an obvious defect would have remained in circulation for very long, especially as it would be rejected by vending machines for being too light. Banks are obligated to withdraw and not reissue such badly damaged coins. For the cause, I would surmise it is either deliberately manufactured, or was perhaps caught in machinery such as a lawnmower or wood chipper. 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

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 12/11/2017 5:56 pm A large amount of metal has been sheared off, similar to scraping a knife across butter. The coin had to be constrained to resist movement when the shearing happened. If you look at the edge of the coin on the left of the picture, I am sure that you will find some sign of that constrainment on the obverse side of the edge, below the shear.
