showtime Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I have a 10p coin dated 1992 that has a completly smooth edge, every other 10p has sort of grooves in the edge. Looked it up and it says milled edge (sorry for my limited knowledge) Is this a fake or an error when the coin was getting made? It looks real, feels real and looks like a 10p coin in every other way Any info would be great Thanks Showtime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I do is go to www.tinypic.com and simply upload to there, then cut the HTML code with the http=acephotgraph.jpg[/img[ tags and simply paste it into the post - works like a dream.

NumisMattic2200 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 How was it found? I cannot say how it was done, but that coin looks like it has been altered. A 10p coin like that would be taken out of change long before it becomes well circulated. Maybe it's been polished somehow.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 got it in change a few months ago, i noticed it looked different so i kept it aside and only remembered about it the other day when i found a bag of foreign and old coins in a box round my mums house so i looked it out and thought id look into it. there doesnt seem to be any filing or wearing away of the edge, there are no marks at all on it and the rim seems the same size as every other 10p coin ive looked at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
