Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 06/23/2019 12:28 pm Welcome back @2taol! Just to be clear, are you looking at the rough region on the surface of the coin around the date or the potential Rim Fin?

2taol Valued Member Ireland 82 Posts	Posted 06/23/2019 12:53 pm Hi Spence, thanks for posting. My main focus was the rough area around the date. The fin is a bonus I suppose !! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 06/23/2019 2:02 pm Ok thanks for the clarification. The harp is slightly worn from circulation, right? Assuming so, that makes it difficult to know whether the area around the date was Struck Through Grease or is just random damage. My best guess is the latter, but I look forward to seeing what others think.

2taol Valued Member Ireland 82 Posts	Posted 06/23/2019 3:15 pm Thank you aristarchus123 and apence. The coin has had very low circulation, strange to think wear happened to one side in a specific location and without affecting both sides. Would this be related to the fin on the rim I wonder Report this Post to the Staff

In fact, most 2000 Irish £1 coins were only in circulation for a year or so before they were replaced by the Euro. Looks like a greasy die to me!
