NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17889 Posts	Posted 02/15/2024 6:34 pm Nice one, Dearborn! Better than mine too! That field ding looks interesting - is it a flan defect perhaps?

Dearborn Moderator United States 94765 Posts	Posted 02/15/2024 7:07 pm Thanks numis What is a flan defect? I have not heard of that. It looks like a partial puncture to me a tiny hols on the reverse and causing a bump on the obverse Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

But the bump on the obverse points to PMD, otherwise it would have been flattened at striking, I think. Still, it is a very nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff

PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 02/16/2024 03:57 am Both nice coins shown here and I am surprised at the paucity of the Numista example, which looks to have been cleaned and re-toned to try to disguise the wear. In the end, Numista is dependent on users submitting photos, so maybe no one has submitted a better one yet. They are not difficult to get in decent grade - here are mine, showing both varieties for this year: Edited by PaddyB 02/16/2024 03:59 am Report this Post to the Staff

Kipster Valued Member United Kingdom 312 Posts	Posted 02/16/2024 10:05 am I don't have the bare bust variety, but the one I have was formerly in Colin Cooke's collection. Fiery red lustre on it, but a few carbon marks around the feet of Britannia. Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 02/19/2024 5:44 pm I suspect a partial hole, not a planchet defect. Still a nice coin in its other aspects.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94765 Posts	Posted 02/19/2024 6:10 pm yes, almost a through-and through puncture is what it is - how it happened is anybody's guess.. Collecting since 1972.
