Title: What's the dot???
Post by: Steveqld on May 25, 2013, 04:32:00 PM
Picked up a set of the "Centenary of Australian Banknotes" today and impressed with the style.

On the 20 cent from the £5 folder I notice a dot dead center of the reverse coin just above the telegraph wire and in the middle of the lake.  I doubt that it appears on the original £5 note and appears as a slight indentation.

I suspect it is a slight imperfection on the die and wondering if it appears on others.

Excuse the size of the piccies.  My first attempt to upload them to the new gallery and I couldn't see anything to vary the size.

OK trying to insert the image didn't work.  How about the link?

Sorry, my image is ordinary at best but I can't see anything:

Note this coin has been removed from the packaging. The dot looks very close to the centre?

Steve, look down the bottom of each image listing in the gallery.  The bottom item in the table of information is the code for making the image appear in the forum.  Here's your two images:

Oh and the dot is on the capsule most likely and not on the coin.  I was caught out by that a few years back.

Thanks Mark.  I saw that link so right clicked and copied link.  In the forum post I clicked on the insert image icon and pasted the link.  Didn't work so I must be doing something wrong.  I'll try again next time.  Is it possible to edit the image size after it goes in the gallery or do they always default to fit the screen?

And you were right.  I bit the bullet and pulled the packaging apart and it was on the capsule.  Odd that the same dot didn't appear on either of the other two packages hence why I suspected the coin.

Cheers, Steve
