Sap Moderator Australia 16809 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 8:24 pm Again, "die cracks" on coins don't look like cracks, they look like anti-cracks, raised lines, not depressions. Something that "looks like a crack" on a coin is most likely to be an actual crack, in the metal of the coin, rather than something imparted onto the coin by the dies. These coins are made of brass-plated steel, so it may be some kind of flaw developing in the plating during circulation. Or it could be just stains; I know that Hong Kong coins seem particularly prone to picking up all kinds of odd stains and corrosion-spots. The blob at the base of the character "hong" might be a die chip, it might be a plating bubble. With plated coins, it's always hard to tell the difference. 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. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
