RChris Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 I think I know the answer before I ask......but is this effect possible as a genuine error, or are we back to the schoolboy acid experiments?http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221265543621?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Quote
Peckris Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 I would be more than 99% confident that it's a post-production effect, either a drop or two of very strong acid, or something else? Quote
RChris Posted August 9, 2013 Author Posted August 9, 2013 This is very similar..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/George-V-Penny-1918-Split-Planchet-Peel-Flaw-Coin-Error-970-/300867260069?pt=UK_Coins_BritishMilled_RL&hash=item460d160ea5 Quote
Rob Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 I had a 1938 penny a few years ago with the same feature and I was inclined towards a genuinely faulty blank. I think an acid induced hole would be more regular and have smooth sides. If it has to be post-production, where does this leave my York shilling in the thread a week or two ago in this section of the forum? Quote
