Anzelmas Valued Member Sweden 171 Posts	Posted 02/26/2022 07:35 am Hi, m8s! It looks like the planchet had notches before minting. Can I consider it like an error or only like a defect? If it is an error, has it a name? English is not my native language :( Any extra value? Report this Post to the Staff

Anzelmas Valued Member Sweden 171 Posts	Posted 02/26/2022 07:51 am If it is a damage, there must be marks on the other side of the coin. To make such deep cuts you must use big power or strike with a hammer. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 02/26/2022 4:30 pm @anzel, you have a good point. Most of the time it is true that large gouges on one side of a coin are matched to flattened areas on the other side of the coin. However, if the coin was placed on a forgiving surface during the impact, then there may not be so much flattening as to be noticeable. Perhaps whoever made these gouges had placed the coin on a leather belt first.

To make such deep cuts you must use big power or strike with a hammer. It has to be one of two things, either damage or an error. As this could not happen during the striking of the coin, by default it is damage, no matter how it was produced. Report this Post to the Staff
