finch New Member Australia 14 Posts	Posted 04/25/2011 05:31 am Edge burr is joined to the face on Aust' $1 Roo' coin. Tried carefully to lever burr up and across but it's "part of the coin face". Members thoughts appreciated, did it leave the Mint with this?. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

But is it possible that the damage could have done to the hub, before the working die was made? If that is the case, there should be at least a few in circulation before the problem was spotted and the damaged hub and die were withdrawn from production. I notice that the top of the spur is flattened. That may not mean much, because the spur does indeed look to be part of the coin surface. I also notice a double rim in the area of the spur. Does the double rim continue around the whole circumference of the coin? I cannot entirely dismiss the possibility of PMD Edited by sel_69l 04/25/2011 9:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
