Let's try this again

Hate having to do it this way but here's the retaind rim cudHaving problems with the photos size. Photos are to come later

A friend of mine gave me this one. First rim cud that I've come across from another country.

Have not found too many of these.

Actually glad to see someone alive on the site. Your guess is as good as mine. All I know is I find more of the second star.
Actually the second star impression, is more prevalent and more consistent, then the star within the star.
After examining several hundred. I have only found two coins with the star within the star impression. Compared to the hundreds of coins with the second star impression.

When it comes to errors, we can only assume and speculate what occurred. Unless you are holding the exact die and coin that it produced.

I have found that error coin collectors,. Have a tendency to do a lot of study and research on error coins. But they'd leave out the most important part. How the steel was made for the die that created the coinage. This is extremely important and explains why a lot dies have failures.
Just something to think about

I personally would not call this in error. From what I can see this is a lamination problem.

Like I said I found that one unusual. Here is a normal star impression.

Found these interesting thought you would to.
