coaster Pillar of the Community Australia 1365 Posts	Posted 02/09/2022 4:56 pm Hi Joshredoz, it's hard to see the detail in your photo ... any chance of posting another that's more in focus? Also agree with John1 that it's always good practice to show both sides of a coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 02/09/2022 6:15 pm The way it goes underneath the P in PENNY, rather than across the top of it, make me think it might actually be a pre-strike delamination error of some kind. Need sharper-focus pics to be sure, though. 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.

Joshredoz New Member Australia 18 Posts	Posted 02/10/2022 7:43 pm So it's an error coin of sorts? Report this Post to the Staff

Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 02/20/2022 01:00 am I think it looks pre-strike too, though possibly it has had veridigris in the grooves at some point. Report this Post to the Staff
