Moj27 New Member Australia 7 Posts	Posted 12/06/2019 01:27 am Hello there. I'm extremely new to the world of coins and I was hoping if anyone could please help me with any information, advise and possible value on these 2 coins I pulled from circulation. I also apologise for my lack of skills in photography. My many thanks to everyone or just anyone who may help. Cheers #127867; and have a great day #128076; Report this Post to the Staff

coaster Pillar of the Community Australia 1364 Posts	Posted 12/06/2019 02:52 am Hi Moj27 and Both coins have Post Mint Damage ( PMD) which means that the damage has occurred in circulation. The first coin looks like it's been hit by a mower blade or similar whilst the second coin was most likely damaged by a coin rolling machine. Unfortunately both are only worth face value ... but keep searching! Report this Post to the Staff

Moj27 New Member Australia 7 Posts	Posted 12/06/2019 10:12 am Thankyou again for any feed back. I do have a few queries though as to how the damage occurred. Please, I'm not wanting to offended anyone, I'm only wanting to learn. Thanks again Is that reeding I see in the damage on the rim? I'm trying to show how raised the damage is on the reverse. I'm not sure how to explain what I see, it's as if the top surface was scraped back because I can still see the echidna . With the $1 I thought it was an error because to physically hold it, it's indented. It's marked with the extra ring on the obverse and that's the side that's raised. I haven't noticed any markings on the reverse to cause the indentation. With this pic I was hoping to show the indentation I hope I explained my self correctly and again many thanks for any info and advise. Report this Post to the Staff
Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 12/06/2019 4:39 pm Both coins are PMD. The 5c has been harshly scraped with a metal implement. The $1 is most likely to be coin Rolling Machine Damage, very common. Keep searching, pretty soon you'll find some errors. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
