I'm not a serious coin collector but I do keep 50ps I find in my change with interesting designs like the Beatrix potter collection, London olympics and so on.

Recently I found the Issac Newton 50p which again I kept. While looking at it a little closer I noticed a weird orange stripe across the back at an angle but exactly going through the middle and perfectly fired and straight.
I just wondered if anyone could shed any light on how it got there? Just interested if it's maybe a defect of some sort.

Thanks

Hello and

I imagine this has been caused since the coin left the Mint - I'm wondering if it's a stain left by a rubber band - perhaps someone had a stack of 50p's and put a rubber band around them to hold them together? Does the orange stain appear on the edges of the coin?

Welcome.

Looks like it might be the kind of line left after removal of sticky tape. I have had some people send me coins from ebay which have been directly taped to a piece of card (shudders) leaving linear marks like this.
