Lines to the edge

[victorcb82]

Hello,

 

This is my first topic here, I hope it to be the first of many posts.

 

Here I leave you some pics of a Spanish 20 eurocents coin with some lines form the center to the edge of the coin. The coin is from a roll, so they are all unc and i found 4 or 5 like this.

 

 

I'm not sure about how this could be produced, something wrong with dies ??

 

 

 

Thanks you all!!

Oh, many of my Finn €0.20 cents (and €0.50) look the same way. Those are most likely just the flow lines of the metal caused from the strike. Perfectly normal. In fact, it makes the coins look that much better IMO.

From planchets polishing style and the pressure the dies struck the planchets, I believe.

Exactly right!

Thank you for your answers.

 

This kind of lines was making me crazy because I didn't understand why they were to the edge. I guess it makes no sense to care about these coins

 

I'll keep them and store them in my box of curious stuff!

 

I'll show you some errors in euro coins soon! I've got to scan some of them
