svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 11/18/2009 10:31 pm I've had this coin for about 10 years, never have been able to figure out if there was any significance to that mark. It's a 1819 halfcrown, by the way. First question, does anybody have any idea what this mark could be? Second question. I have another halfcrown, 1917, same type, about same value. I don't want to hold on to both, I'd rather swap one. Does this mark make it "special", the one I want to keep; or it's rather a detriment, and I better save the "whole" one? Opinions are welcome, knowledge will be appreciated. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 11/19/2009 09:18 am G'day, looks like a "chop mark". Some people regard these as mutilations, which devalue the coin. Others regard them as part of the narrative of a coin's history, and these people see them as an enhancement, or at least neutral. Peter in Oz Report this Post to the Staff
svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 11/20/2009 12:10 am Thanks, Peter, for you response. Perhaps I should have placed this topic in a more general forum, it'd get more traffic. Even though the host coin is British, the question is not so. What do you think Mr. Moderators?
