davjenn New Member Australia 13 Posts	Posted 12/17/2017 10:56 pm I have seen 2 other coins of the same year with exactly the same featureless face - but I can't find any info, can anyone tell me more about the coin, and what sort of error this is, its grade and worth. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

davjenn New Member Australia 13 Posts	Posted 01/09/2018 02:21 am I dont think that could be correct because there is one for sale now on ebay with the same year and exactly the same weak strike and I have seen another one with the same year and same weak strike elsewhere Cheers Report this Post to the Staff
Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 01/09/2018 06:13 am If you actually have this coin, check to see if weight, diameter etc are all correct. It may be countefeit. Deliberately smudging coin details removes the need for C/feiters to make the coin look kosher. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
