Sword Posted May 3, 2018 Posted May 3, 2018 I have seen a George V halfcrown I would like to buy but it is flat around the harp. Would you say this is post mint damage or done during the minting process? Thanks. Quote
zookeeperz Posted May 3, 2018 Posted May 3, 2018 Could be a planchet flaw that damage goes right back to the right hand tip of the letter L and right across to the first string of the harp.? Quote
ozjohn Posted May 3, 2018 Posted May 3, 2018 Looks like it has been struck over the flaw. Of course it is hard to be 100%. Quote
Peckris Posted May 3, 2018 Posted May 3, 2018 3 hours ago, Sword said: 1915 If it's pre-1920 it could be either. Post-mint damage to the 50% alloy coins will show some discolouration whereas that looks pure silver. Quote
VickySilver Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 My 1915 does not have that. It looks like not fully struck up and maybe grease on die or similar. Quote
