Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 05/06/2009 1:06 pm G'day, I commend your photography. I'm not into errors myself, so I don't get hung up on these "dots", which are usually called " Cuds" in Oz. Although I acknowledge that yours are quite noticeable, and well-formed. When we Ozzies look at KGV coinage, we look at the band at the bottom of the crown. It is ornamented with diamonds and pearls. The pearls are one of the early elements to show signs of wear. On your coin, all eight pearls are visible, so that puts it in a higher grade. The obverse has a rim-ding between 12 and 1. Beautiful chocolate toning. Looking at this coin makes me feel very nostalgic ... Peter in Darwin, Oz Report this Post to the Staff
