BT-Armistice Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 I reciently started collecting coins and came across a few from Italy and noticed the 10 Lire from 1955 has a dot in hte middle of the 0. Is that common? The coins from 1953, 1954, and 1956 do not seem to have it and am just curious. I tried searching out some information but have not found anything.

thedeadpoint Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 You've noticed a few like that? Pretty cool find if that is the case! It means you might have coins struck from the same die - pretty rare after this many years of circulation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means you might have coins struck from the same die - pretty rare after this many years of circulation I have a couple with the dot in the 0, and came across a few from 1955 without the dot. I checked the World Catalog of Standard coins and it lists nothing as well. So guess will hold onto them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trantor_3 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 A Dutch online coin catalog lists the 1955 without the dot : http://www.catawiki.nl/catalogus/munten/landen/italie/704801-italie-10-lire-1955 (click the images to enlarge) It does not mention anything about a dot. Neither does Numista : http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces728.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
