Seems like it was partially struck with a different die at some point. Its a 1982 50 cent coin - the commonwealth Games version. If someone could please give me some background, that would be fantastic. Edited by Higgo383 07/13/2023 06:34 am Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16806 Posts	Posted 07/13/2023 08:46 am There are no 50-cent-sized and 50-cent-shaped collar dies that have milling on them, so I would assume it's not a mint error. I would assume it's "tool damage", from a vise, pliers or something similar. 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
