I was given this crown by a friend several years ago, and he told me that the mark across the head was caused by a piece of string getting on the dies when it was struck. When you look close at the fault, it shows fine strand marks from the string at each side of the main line of the mark. So it does resemble compressed string. Does anyone else know of this error, and is it simply a curiosity without much value ?post-4553-1234910486_thumb.jpg
