NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17901 Posts	Posted 02/27/2019 1:15 pm Hello Zippyzee and ! Please could you post larger photos of both sides of the coin? From the one small photo you've posted I can't even tell whether it's a 5c, 10c or 20c piece. It may also help to indicate the weight and diameter if these are different from normal coins of the same denomination. Thanks! It is probably just PMD (post-mint damage) but we need clearer photos to see exact what is going on!

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21589 Posts	Posted 02/27/2019 1:15 pm . To the CCF Would you please post cropped photos of both sides. It looks like it is intentional damage but would like to see both sides to confirm. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16809 Posts	Posted 02/27/2019 9:09 pm It doesn't look like a mint error, given that I have a reasonably good imagination and can't imagine how such a thing could possibly be made in the mint. It therefore seems reasonable that it's "post-mint damage" or, in this case, "post-mint artwork", since the damage seems to be deliberately artistic in nature. Non-mint-error "funny-looking coins" are not usually considered valuable or collectable by coin collectors, but you might find some artistic types who would be prepared to pay more than face value / scrap metal value for it. 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

Zippyzee New Member Australia 6 Posts	Posted 02/28/2019 02:23 am look at the queens side there is no edging around the coin only built up metal. Report this Post to the Staff
nealeffendi Pillar of the Community Australia 852 Posts	Posted 02/28/2019 05:43 am An easy thing to whack grooves on the rim of one side with the other undamaged by putting it on a piece of wood. Worth 10 cents Report this Post to the Staff
coaster Pillar of the Community Australia 1364 Posts	Posted 02/28/2019 07:50 am I agree that it is PMD (Post Mint Damage). I would say that, because of the regularity of the spacing of the grooves around the rim and on one side only, that the coin has been subjected to some kind of machine cog interference (similar to an old fashioned can opener but on a much larger scale). An interesting find though ... keep looking! #128515; Edited by coaster 02/28/2019 07:52 am Report this Post to the Staff
hans g Valued Member Australia 102 Posts	Posted 03/01/2019 02:11 am I'm not so sure it's PMD. Isn't the lettering too far in from the edge. Report this Post to the Staff
jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4691 Posts	Posted 03/01/2019 02:35 am To me it looks like someone had too much time on their hands and tooled it. Report this Post to the Staff

I just compared it to one of my pics and it looks like the writing is the same distance from the edge. Steve Report this Post to the Staff
