Mark Stilson Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 I am not up on Australian coins, but it looks more like damage after minting. Wait for others to post on it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostDutchman Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 i don't beleive it is an error... it could be counting wheel damage.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggAndyy Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 If you look at Area A the "bites" are deeper than at Area B. Then Area C appears to be even shallower yet. I think that something tried to get a grip of the coin with multiple teeth and did not have a good grip at Area B and the teeth let loose and bit into the coin a second but brief time at Area C before it was let go by whatever was pushing it into the teeth. I have no idea what kind of machine would make these marks or why it was grabbing into a coin but that is what it look like to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syzygy Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Is it possible that this was done in an attempt to encase the coin? Perhaps in a pendant, charm or other type of jewelery. Maybe even an aborted attempt at doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe even an aborted attempt at doing so. That is an interesting notion but the reverse of the coin is really flattened... I will search further.

LostDutchman Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 I wonder if it could have been someone trying to make a 2 headed coin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
