Delta Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 What is the mark that is down the neck? I thought at first it may be a die crack (being a n00b) but then I figured those would be raised and this is indented. It does seem as if it has been there since minting however.

Scottishmoney Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Someone wanted to whack GV back during his lifetime, and took aim for his neck apparently. It is most definitely post mint damage, maybe it did service in Ireland or Cornwall or some raballious place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I agree, looks like post-mint damage unless he had a scar that we didn't notice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NumisMattic2200 Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 I posted one last year of him wearing an earring - apparently someone had used something to put and indented ring around his ear on the same portrait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
