they used to have those machines in blackpool, then they replaced them with a ride there is some of those old machines in some shooping place off the M61 too or there was when i last went years ago, dunno if they are still there. right. my most valuable coin cost me a whole ten pence and i got a fair few scarce varietys for under £3
tin farthings as they always had the plug. they should count really. or the charles I farthings where they used other metals to fill in chips etc. ever seen these euros? copper band round the outside of the brass area. tri-mettalic
they have had those marks before, the 2008's especially, the quality of strike was sub par as well. i got a darwin one. for 3 million minting figure it has taken this long to find any? the 2012 one will probably commeorate 20 years since the resizing of the 10p or 1 year since last year or something.
i have a VF 1922 penny, it could be a dot, all that is left a slightly differant coloured mark there, so it is either just one of those things, or it does indeed wear very quickly
