coaster Pillar of the Community Australia 1348 Posts	Posted 09/10/2023 12:08 am It doesn't appear to me that the coin has been subjected to a corrosive substance as the reeding around the edge is still quite visible and I can't see any obvious signs of abrasion. Because of this, and given that the weakness is so uniform on both sides, my guess would be that it's the result of a weak strike. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16470 Posts	Posted 09/10/2023 04:57 am I would assume a coin looking like this has been sandblasted. 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
